Frequently Asked Questions on ZK-KYC Systems
Clear answers to the most common technical and operational questions about implementing privacy-preserving KYC for institutions.
A standard implementation for a single jurisdiction takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to production-ready deployment. This includes requirements analysis, circuit design, smart contract development, integration with your existing KYC provider, and security audits. Complex multi-jurisdictional systems with custom compliance logic can extend to 8-12 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones during the scoping phase.
