Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how we securely connect institutional custodians to DeFi and on-chain applications with compliant identity verification.
Our solution acts as a secure middleware layer. We integrate with your chosen institutional custodian (like Fireblocks, Copper, or Anchorage) via their APIs to verify user identity and custodial ownership. We then mint a non-transferable, soulbound token (SBT) or generate a verifiable credential that serves as a proof-of-KYC. This credential is programmatically checked by smart contracts on supported chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.) to grant access to gated DeFi pools or services, without exposing raw user data on-chain.
