Introduction

zkMe: Compliance without compromises on the decentralization and privacy ethos of web3

Enabling compliant, scalable DeFi with zero-knowledge Identity Layer.


Who we are.

Founded in December 2022 and backed by the world's leading venture firms, zkMe Technology Limited is pioneering identity solutions across various sectors. With the evolution of what we are building into zkMe Network, including MeChain and zkMe Protocol, we empower users and institutions to securely manage and prove eligibility across a broad spectrum of applications. Originally focused on permissioned DeFi, zkMe now extends its secure, flexible compliance to diverse sectors, keeping data private while unlocking potential across multiple domains.


How it works.

zkMe builds a decentralized Identity Network infrastructure that consists of resilient foundation ("Identity Infra" - MeChain) and bridging primitives ("Identity Protocol" - zkMe Protocol) that leverage the power of Zero-knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to securely and privately attest & verify credential ownership across ecosystems. In contrast to most existing Decentralized Identifier (DID) or Verifiable Credentials (VC) approaches, Identity Network do not require centralized trusted Issuer entities on every ecosystem. Trusted Credentials are ubiquitous in traditional finance and the internet, why not access and consumes these onchain? Identity Oracles are thus the answer to the question: Why reinvent the wheel for web3 Identity?

If a credential source is already trusted on another chain, on the internet, or on a physical device, the Identity Oracle bridges that Credential fully trustlessly and programmatically to any number of service providers without the introduction of new trust assumptions.

With zkMe, users can disclose to authorized parties selectively, without compromising their privacy, and enjoy greater control over their digital Identities. This enables a variety of Use Cases, for the verification of a number of Design Philosophy, through the interaction of a number of zkMe Components.
