# Roadmap

## Strategic Direction

zkMe's strategic direction centers on three primary pillars:

* **Ecosystem Expansion**: The platform aims to integrate across multiple blockchain networks while strengthening its Identity Hub with improved campaign tools and cross-chain capabilities. With Agentic Open Finance, ecosystem expansion now includes agent framework interoperability via MCP Server integration and the Agent Trust Gateway, enabling agents to operate across platforms with portable, reusable credentials.
* **Credential Innovation**: Development efforts target broader compliance applications, including financial identity and healthcare verification, alongside enhanced developer resources and documentation improvements. A major new frontier is **zkKYA**, introducing agent credential types such as Agent Principal, Agent Reputation via ERC-8004, Agent Intent, and Agent Certification. This extends the credential model from humans to AI agents as first-class identity holders.
* **Institutional Scaling**: The initiative focuses on privacy-respecting compliance infrastructure designed for traditional financial and healthcare sectors, with emphasis on trust frameworks and strategic partnerships. For the Agent Economy, institutional scaling adds the zkVault for secure secret management within TEE enclaves, x402/AP2 payment facilitation for autonomous agent transactions, and compliance-aware execution infrastructure. zkMe is actively pursuing entry into regulated sandboxes in key financial hubs such as HKMA, CIMA, and BMA to create a compliant environment for agent-driven finance.

The organization's immediate priorities include expanding credential coverage to new industries and geographies, and strengthening regulatory alignment while maintaining user privacy. These efforts represent a deliberate evolution toward enterprise and agent adoption while preserving the decentralized identity model at the platform's foundation.
