About zkMe

Building the zk-credential layer of Web3 — where credentials are only shared when, where, and strictly as irreducibly needed.

Vision

To build the zk-credential layer of Web3.

In the trust-minimized world of tomorrow, credentials are only shared when, where, and strictly as irreducibly needed. Privacy is not a feature — it is the architecture.

Mission

The leading infrastructure for verified credentials.

zkMe builds the infrastructure for issuing, holding, and verifying credentials in a privacy-preserving, trust-minimized way. Issuers, holders, and verifiers across the world rely on the zkMe Protocol to unlock the value of identity — without exposing the underlying data.

PRINCIPLES

Privacy-by-Design, not by promise.

Many providers make compliance claims. zkMe is the only solution that delivers on all of them — certified and verifiable.

End-to-End Zero-Knowledge

All data processing happens on-device or in a decentralized oracle. No party — including zkMe — ever accesses any PII.

Selective Disclosure

Only yes/no answers to predefined questions are disclosed — never raw data. Designed to make identity inference virtually impossible.

Self-Sovereign Identity

Full control over data sharing. Amend, update, and revoke permissions per project from your mobile phone.

Multi-Party Computation Oracle

Trust determinations handled by a decentralized node network. No central computation, no protocol manipulation.

DAO Governance

Protocol governance is transitioning to a DAO governed by the $ZKM token. Community stakeholders control protocol upgrades and parameters.

Party-Agnostic

No role is fixed to a single entity. Issuer, Holder, Verifier, and Node Operator are context-specific and interchangeable.
