zkMe is a Hong Kong-based provider of zero-knowledge (ZK) identity verification solutions, led by CEO Alexander Scheer. Its flagship product, zkMe, is a FATF-compliant decentralized identity solution that enables developers to build scalable Web3 applications without compromising user privacy or creating centralized data honeypots. The company emphasizes a neutral ZK identity layer to help developers meet identity verification and compliance requirements. zkMe's approach uses zero-knowledge techniques to verify identity while minimizing personal data exposure. The company plans to use its newly raised seed funding to develop its Network, a neutral zero-knowledge identity layer for Web3 developers. zkMe is a Hong Kong-based provider of a zero-knowledge Identity Oracle that enables users to selectively disclose credentials without compromising their privacy. Led by CEO Alex Scheer, the company has developed an SSI mobile app that encrypts and anonymizes user data and lets users prove claims on-device using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). Its ZKPs are verified by a network of MPC nodes before being minted onto the user wallet as a soulbound token (SBT). The protocol targets use cases including anti-sybil protection for fair airdrops, anonymous web data attestation for GameFi integrations, and private KYC compliance for DeFi. The company raised $2M in a pre-seed round and plans to use the funds to complete testing and onboard customers on mainnet within a month. Backers included Circle Venture, Spartan Group, CMS Holdings, Fenbushi Capital, NGC Ventures, Arkstream Capital and other venture capital firms.
