Core Architecture Components We Deliver
We architect and deploy the complete technical stack for your institutional ZK-KYC solution. Each component is built for security, compliance, and seamless integration with your existing systems.
Zero-Knowledge Proof Circuits
Custom-built zk-SNARK/STARK circuits for KYC verification. We design circuits that prove identity attributes (age, residency, accreditation) without revealing the underlying data, ensuring privacy and regulatory compliance.
On-Chain Verifier Smart Contracts
Gas-optimized, audited smart contracts that verify ZK proofs on-chain. Deployed on EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum), these contracts enable permissionless verification of KYC status for DeFi, token sales, and governance.
Secure Credential Issuance API
A RESTful API gateway for your compliance team to issue verifiable credentials (VCs) as signed JWTs or W3C VCs. Integrates with your internal KYC provider (Jumio, Onfido) and includes revocation lists and key management.
Identity Wallet SDK & Frontend
White-label SDKs (Web, Mobile) for end-users to store ZK credentials and generate proofs. Provides a seamless UX for connecting wallets, requesting credentials, and submitting proofs to your dApp.
Compliance Dashboard & Analytics
A secure admin dashboard for monitoring KYC status, proof verification volume, and user analytics. Provides audit trails for regulators and real-time insights into platform adoption and credential issuance.
Relayer & Gas Management System
A managed service that submits proof verification transactions on behalf of users, abstracting gas fees and blockchain complexity. Ensures high transaction success rates and protects user privacy.
Business Outcomes for Your Institutional ZK-KYC
Our ZK-KYC solution architecture delivers measurable compliance and operational advantages, built on verifiable security and institutional-grade reliability.
Regulatory Compliance with Privacy
Achieve full AML/KYC compliance across jurisdictions without exposing sensitive customer data. Our zero-knowledge proofs verify eligibility while keeping PII encrypted and off-chain.
Frictionless Onboarding
Reduce customer drop-off by 70%+ with a streamlined, reusable credential flow. Users verify once with a trusted provider, then prove compliance instantly across your platform.
Institutional-Grade Security & Audit
Deploy with confidence using architecture audited by leading security firms. All cryptographic primitives and smart contracts follow formal verification best practices.
Scalable, Cost-Efficient Operations
Eliminate repetitive manual checks and reduce operational overhead by 80%. Our system scales to handle millions of verifications with predictable, low-cost transaction fees.
Interoperable Credential System
Future-proof your compliance stack. Our solution uses W3C Verifiable Credentials and decentralized identifiers (DIDs), enabling seamless integration with other regulated DeFi and TradFi platforms.
Rapid Integration & Deployment
Go live with a production-ready ZK-KYC module in weeks, not months. We provide comprehensive APIs, SDKs, and dedicated technical support for your engineering team.

Our Phased Implementation Methodology
A structured, low-risk approach to integrate zero-knowledge KYC into your compliance stack. We deliver a production-ready solution in weeks, not months, with clear milestones and dedicated support at every phase.
Phase 1: Discovery & Architecture Design
We conduct a technical deep-dive to map your existing KYC/AML workflows and design a custom ZK-KYC architecture. You receive a detailed technical specification and integration blueprint.
Deliverables: Technical Architecture Document, Integration Roadmap, Proof-of-Concept Scope.
Phase 2: Proof-of-Concept Development
We build a functional, isolated PoC demonstrating core ZK-KYC flows (e.g., credential issuance, selective disclosure). This validates the technical approach and provides a tangible artifact for stakeholder review.
Deliverables: Working PoC Environment, On-Chain Verification Demo, Initial Audit Report.
Phase 3: Core System & Smart Contract Build
Development of the production-grade ZK circuits, issuer backend, and verifier smart contracts. All code follows enterprise security standards and undergoes our formal verification process.
Deliverables: Audited Smart Contracts, ZK Circuit Code, Issuer API Service.
Phase 4: Staging Integration & Penetration Testing
We integrate the ZK-KYC system into your staging environment. The solution undergoes rigorous penetration testing by third-party auditors to ensure regulatory and security compliance before go-live.
Deliverables: Integrated Staging Environment, Penetration Test Report, Compliance Checklist.
Phase 5: Production Deployment & Go-Live
Managed deployment to your production infrastructure with zero downtime for existing services. We provide comprehensive documentation, operational runbooks, and hands-on training for your team.
Deliverables: Live Production System, Technical Documentation, Team Training Sessions.
Phase 6: Ongoing Support & Optimization

Frequently Asked Questions on ZK-KYC
Get clear answers on implementation, security, and ROI for our institutional-grade Zero-Knowledge KYC solution.
End-users complete KYC once with a trusted, licensed provider (like Onfido or Jumio) that we integrate with. Their verified identity data is cryptographically signed and stored off-chain. When accessing your platform, users generate a ZK proof that confirms they are verified and meet your criteria (e.g., jurisdiction, accreditation) without revealing their identity. The on-chain verifier contract checks this proof in milliseconds, granting access.
