Use Cases

zkMe Compliance Suite

Compliant Stablecoin Settlement

Stablecoin transfers could face strict scrutiny over AML, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring. zkMe’s zkKYC links wallet compliance status directly to on-chain addresses, allowing issuers, payment processors, and service providers to automatically block high-risk wallets and approve verified ones. This keeps stablecoin transactions instant, borderless, and private, while meeting global regulatory requirements.

Fully Liquid RWA

Real-world assets face a tangled web of regulations. zkMe cuts through the complexity, making them compliant on public blockchains. We mark wallets for their owners' compliance, enabling secure, hassle-free trading through existing DeFi infrastructure. Say goodbye to regulatory red tape and hello to smooth, compliant RWA trading.

Eligible Investor Proof

Some jurisdictions, such as the US, require investors to meet specific net worth, income, or professional criteria before participating in certain offerings. zkMe’s Proof-of-Accredited-Investor verifies accredited investor status through zero-knowledge proofs, confirming eligibility without disclosing sensitive financial information. This approach supports compliant fundraising, private placements, and tokenized securities sales while ensuring that investors’ personal information remains secure and confidential.

Token Distribution

Token launches and airdrops often face regulatory requirements around KYC/AML, jurisdiction restrictions and community standards. zkMe’s zkKYC verifies participant identity, jurisdiction, and other criteria through zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring only eligible wallets receive tokens without revealing personal data. This prevents multi-account abuse, supports fair allocation, and keeps the process compliant and transparent across jurisdictions.

Frictionless On/Off Ramp

On/Off ramp providers must comply with strict AML and sanctions regulations when converting between fiat and digital assets. zkMe delivers end-to-end compliance by combining off-chain AML with on-chain AML through KYT. This ensures user identities are verified, transactions are screened in real time, and only compliant wallets can deposit or withdraw—while personal data remains private. The result is seamless, cross-border asset conversion with full regulatory alignment.

Age-Gated Access

Many platforms need to restrict access based on age, from gaming and streaming to alcohol sales, gambling, and financial services. zkMe’s age verification uses zero-knowledge proofs to confirm whether a user meets the required threshold without revealing their exact birthdate or personal details. This enables businesses to meet regulatory requirements, reduce onboarding friction, and protect user privacy across all age-restricted services.

zkMe Anti-Sybil Suite

Sybil-Resistant Governance

Decentralized governance often suffers from vote manipulation by bots or users controlling multiple wallets. zkMe’s “one face, one DID” mechanism ensures that each voting participant is uniquely verified through privacy-preserving facial recognition. This guarantees that every vote comes from a distinct, real individual, making DAO governance outcomes more representative and secure.

Bot-Free Community Incentives

Platforms can use zkMe to verify that rewards, badges, or engagement incentives go only to genuine members. By filtering out fake profiles and automated accounts, communities maintain healthy growth, prevent abuse of reward systems, and ensure fair distribution of benefits.

Authentic Event Participation

Virtual and in-person events often suffer from duplicate registrations or ticket scalping. zkMe ensures each attendee has a unique DID, preventing the same person from claiming multiple tickets or benefits. Organizers can confidently manage capacity, distribute perks, and maintain a genuine attendee base.

zkMe Profiling Suite

Exchange KYC Status Verification

zkMe can verify a user’s KYC completion status across supported exchanges through zkTLS without revealing any personal information. Protocols and platforms can use this proof to grant access to trading features, token sales, or other KYC-gated services instantly. Verified status can be carried seamlessly across multiple platforms, helping businesses stay compliant while removing redundant verification steps.

Trusted Credit Profile

Creditworthiness is essential for accessing loans, leases, and certain investments, but traditional checks expose sensitive financial data. zkMe verifies a user’s credit score band or creditworthiness status through zero-knowledge proofs, confirming eligibility without revealing exact scores or underlying records. Projects can assess risk, customize terms, and maintain compliance, all while safeguarding privacy and making onboarding faster.

Social-to-Chain Verification

Campaigns and communities often face fake or automated accounts that drain rewards and distort engagement data. With zkMe, platforms can privately confirm Twitter account ownership using zero-knowledge proofs, no credentials exchanged, no personal data exposed. Verified social identities can then be tied directly to on-chain actions, making airdrops, gated access, and reward programs more accurate, fraud-resistant, and compliant.

Financial Capacity Attestation

Some financial products, such as accredited investor offerings or high-value credit lines, require proof of bank-held assets. Using zero-knowledge proofs, zkMe verifies asset thresholds directly from supported banks without exposing account numbers, statements, or other sensitive details. Institutions can confirm eligibility in real time, accelerate onboarding, keep product access compliant, cut manual checks, and protect client privacy throughout the process.
