A STRUCTURED APPROACH
Our ZK Compliance Consulting Framework
We provide a systematic, audit-ready methodology to integrate Zero-Knowledge proofs into your DeFi product, ensuring regulatory adherence without compromising on-chain privacy or performance.
01
Regulatory Gap Analysis
We map your DeFi protocol's operations against key regulatory frameworks (e.g., FATF Travel Rule, MiCA, OFAC) to identify specific compliance obligations and design targeted ZK proof systems to satisfy them.

STRUCTURED FOR SECURITY & SPEED
Our Engagement Process
A phased, outcome-driven approach to building compliant DeFi protocols. We move from strategic assessment to secure deployment, ensuring regulatory alignment and technical excellence at every stage.
01
Phase 1: Compliance & Architecture Review
We conduct a deep-dive audit of your protocol's design against target jurisdictions (e.g., MiCA, FATF Travel Rule). Deliverables include a risk assessment matrix and a technical architecture blueprint for regulatory alignment.
