Overview

zkPass builds the zkTLS oracle protocol, combining 3P-TLS and Hybrid ZK technologies to enable verifiable, privacy-preserving data sharing from HTTPS websites without OAuth. The protocol is Prover-centric and allows users to generate zero-knowledge proofs of private data in-browser within one second and selectively prove identities, financial records, healthcare information, and other sensitive data. zkPass has indexed over 200 schemas from 70+ verified web data sources and, as of October 2024, has generated more than 2 million zk attestations across categories including financial institutions, e-commerce, social media, and online education. The company positions zkTLS to bridge Web2 and Web3 and to enable large-scale private data integration for decentralized applications, with applications across AI, DePIN, DID, lending, TradFi and DeFi. The announced funding will be used to accelerate technology development and market adoption and to bring zkTLS to real-world applications. zkPass develops a privacy-preserving protocol for private data verification that lets users disclose personal data without exposing or uploading the actual documents. Its technology stack combines zero-knowledge proofs, multi-party computation, and three-party transport layer security. The company offers TransGate, which enables users to selectively and privately validate their data on any HTTPS website to the web3 world. TransGate and the protocol can cover various data types, including legal identity, financial records, healthcare information, social interactions, work experience, and education and skill certifications. zkPass raised seed funding and plans to use the proceeds to advance development of its pre-alpha testnet. The platform emphasizes secure, private verifications without sending sensitive personal data to third parties.
