zkPass (ZKP) - zkTLS Oracle Protocol for Private Data Verification

Your Data is Constantly Being Collected and Exposed#

Every time you verify your identity online, you hand over sensitive information to centralized servers. Financial records, healthcare data, social credentials, and legal documents are stored, shared, and vulnerable to breaches. The internet was built for data transfer, not data protection. You have no control over who sees your information or how it gets used once you submit it.

What If You Could Prove Who You Are Without Revealing Anything?#

zkPass introduces the Verifiable Internet, where you can prove facts about your private data without exposing the underlying information. Using zero-knowledge proofs, you verify your identity, credentials, and records while keeping everything confidential. No more uploading documents. No more trusting third parties with your sensitive data.

What does zkPass do?#

🔐 zkTLS Protocol: zkPass transforms the standard TLS protocol into a three-party system that enables secure, privacy-preserving verification. By integrating decentralized MPC nodes into the handshake process, users can log in securely and generate zero-knowledge proofs locally without requiring API access or data source authorization.

🔗 Multi-Party Computation Security: Randomly selected task nodes supervise the three-party handshake and obtain a portion of the MAC key to ensure data integrity and authenticity. The encryption key remains solely with the user, meaning nodes cannot access or collect any personal data while still preventing fraud and tampering.

⚡ VOLEitH Hybrid ZK Engine: zkPass developed the memory-efficient Hybrid ZK proof system combining VOLE-ZK and zk-SNARKs algorithms. This allows users to generate zero-knowledge proofs in less than one second directly in their browser, processing millions of gates per second while requiring less than 300MB of memory.

🌐 TransGate Browser Extension: TransGate is the foundational product incorporating MPC network, Interactive Zero-knowledge proof system, and 3P-TLS protocol. It enables seamless transfer of private data verification from Web2 sources to Web3 applications without exposing sensitive information.

📋 Verifiable Reputation Score: VRS is an open framework that turns your internet activities into cryptographic proofs. From Duolingo streaks and LinkedIn profiles to CEX KYC verification, users can build verifiable reputation scores ranging from 0 to 100 without sharing raw personal data.

🏥 Cross-Industry Applications: zkPass enables zkKYC for decentralized identity verification, undercollateralized DeFi lending using off-chain credit data, healthcare data marketplaces with privacy protection, decentralized job verification, and sybil-resistant airdrop distributions for Web3 projects.

Why This Team Inspires Confidence#

Binance Recognition: zkPass won Binance’s first season of “Build The Block” Web3 Reality Show in 2023, competing against over 900 applicants. This prestigious recognition from one of the largest crypto exchanges validates the team’s technical capabilities and vision for privacy-preserving technology.

$15 Million in Funding: The project secured $2.5M in seed funding from Binance Labs, Sequoia China, and OKX Ventures in 2023, followed by a $12.5M Series A round in 2024 from dao5, Animoca Brands, Flow Traders, Amber Group, and 12 additional institutional investors. This backing from leading Web3 venture firms demonstrates strong institutional confidence.

Proven Protocol Traction: zkPass has processed over 200 million attestation requests, generated more than 10 million proofs, and integrated 100+ data sources including major platforms like Binance, LinkedIn, Duolingo, and GitHub. This real-world adoption proves the technology works at scale.

Strategic Ecosystem Partnerships: The protocol has formed partnerships with major blockchain projects including LayerZero, zkSync, Linea, Galxe, CyberConnect, and Stargate Finance. These integrations expand the protocol’s reach and utility across the broader Web3 ecosystem.

Multi-Exchange Listings: ZKP launched with listings on major centralized exchanges including Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin, Bybit, MEXC, HTX, and Binance Alpha. This wide availability provides liquidity and accessibility for investors worldwide.

What to Know Before You Buy zkPass#

1. First Commercial zkTLS Implementation

zkPass was the first team to commercially deploy zkTLS technology, giving them significant first-mover advantage in the privacy oracle space. Their proprietary VOLEitH proof system enables browser-based zero-knowledge proofs that competitors have yet to match in speed and efficiency.

2. Addresses $20 Trillion Market Opportunity

The internet hosts over $20 trillion in annual economic activity from e-commerce, banking, travel, and social platforms. zkPass positions itself as the verification layer for this massive market, enabling trustless proofs for any HTTPS-based data source without requiring APIs or platform cooperation.

3. Multi-Chain Native Token

ZKP launched natively on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Base through LayerZero’s OFT standard, enabling 1:1 cross-chain transfers with no slippage. This multi-chain architecture ensures accessibility across the largest blockchain ecosystems.

4. Strong Proof of Humanity Use Case

The protocol has become a go-to solution for airdrop verification, helping projects like Linea, Union, Somnia, IoTeX, Tea, MYX, and Caldera filter out bots and sybil accounts. This recurring utility creates consistent demand for zkPass attestations.

5. Growing Verifiable Economy

zkPass is building infrastructure for tokenizing credentials like Duolingo streaks, GitHub contributions, Uber trips, and professional certifications. This verifiable economy transforms previously unusable reputation data into portable, privacy-preserving assets.

How to buy zkPass?#

zkPass can be purchased directly on Binance through the Binance Alpha section, which features early-stage tokens from promising projects before wider exchange listings. Binance offers a seamless trading experience with high liquidity and security for ZKP purchases.
