Prove more. Expose nothing.

Zakapi enables governments, institutions, and enterprises to verify identity and data-driven claims with mathematical certainty without ever seeing the underlying records.

ZAKAPI ARCHITECTURE

Here is the high-level map of how Zakapi’s wallet, issuer, verifier, ZK proof engine, logging layer, admin console, and developer cloud all connect to issue credentials, generate zero-knowledge proofs, verify them, and audit everything.

Integrated Identity, Verification & Proof Infrastructure

A unified framework combining zero-knowledge cryptography, credential management, compliance automation, identity governance, and verifiable query processing over regulated datasets. Zakapi is built to satisfy global regulatory demands while ensuring every proof respects data minimisation and privacy-by-design principles.

Credential Integrity, Data Minimisation & Proof Reuse

📑 Verifiable credential lifecycle management with issuer provenance, cryptographic integrity, revocation support, and optional proof-carrying records for each issuance and verification event.
📑 Multi-jurisdictional data residency support (EU, GCC, Asia), with proofs that can be verified globally without moving underlying data across borders.
📑 Zero-knowledge age, KYC, and eligibility proofs — revealing only the outcome of the check, never the underlying personal data.
Automated Compliance, Eligibility & Query Proofs

📊 Real-time screening integrations for AML, sanctions, PEP, and jurisdictional rules, with optional proofs that screenings were run against the committed watchlists and policies.
📊 Dynamic compliance logic for regulatory triggers and audit trails, with cryptographic evidence of how each rule was evaluated.
📊 Proof workflows for scheme eligibility, benefit entitlement, and secure disclosures, backed by reusable, non-interactive proofs suitable for regulators and auditors.
Secure Identity Orchestration

🔐 DID-based identity resolution, backed by decentralised PKI and anchored in verifiable proof logs.
🔐 OIDC4VCI and SAML integrations for secure login, identity binding, and proof-aware session establishment.
🔐 Consent, policy enforcement, and ZK-backed delegation for enterprise workflows, ensuring every delegated action can be accompanied by a proof of correct policy application.
Interoperable Proof Exchange

🔄 Open APIs and standard protocols (VC 2.0, DIDComm, OIDC4VP) for cross-border verifiability and portable proof exchange.
🔄 Privacy-preserving audits, verifier logs, and zero-knowledge attestations that can be independently verified without database access.
🔄 Government trust framework alignment (eIDAS, EUDI Wallet, ESSIF, etc.), with proof formats that map cleanly to emerging national and regional trust registries.

Verifiable Data & Query Layer

Zakapi extends beyond identity: policy checks and SQL-style analytics over sensitive databases can be compiled into zero-knowledge proofs. Each result is cryptographically bound to a committed view of the underlying data, so verifiers can check that decisions were computed on the right dataset, with the right logic, without gaining access to raw records.
• Bound to the right dataset – Every proof links to a cryptographic commitment of the database or ledger snapshot, preventing substitution with stale or filtered copies.
• Proof of correct execution – Results (e.g. “KYC passed”, “age ≥ 18”, “risk score ≤ threshold”) are accompanied by proofs that the computation followed the declared policies and SQL semantics.
• Non-interactive and reusable – Proofs are single, self-contained objects that can be cached, forwarded to regulators, and re-verified offline by any authorised party.

Conduct & Regulatory Compliance

📈 Comprehensive compliance frameworks for AML/CTF, sanctions, and jurisdictional identity laws (GDPR, KVKK, eIDAS, FATF Recommendations). Zero-knowledge proofs support secure attestations for KYC status, jurisdictional eligibility, verification recency, and that checks were executed over the correct, committed datasets.

📋 Risk-based verification layers for individuals (KYC), businesses (KYB), and transaction behaviour (KYT), with configurable triggers for enhanced due diligence, re-verification, and sanctions re-screening — each step optionally producing a reusable proof.

📊 Enterprise-grade compliance tooling: policy mapping, risk controls, control attestation, and audit-readiness dashboards — enabling real-time regulator-facing evidence packs and internal audit trails backed by cryptographic proofs of how each control was evaluated.

Launch & Scaling Playbook

A structured deployment path guiding governments, enterprises, and regulated sectors from pilot to nationwide or multi-jurisdictional adoption. Zakapi’s phased model ensures cryptographic trust, regulatory alignment, and operational integrity at every step — minimising rollout risk while scaling verifiable identity and proof infrastructure with confidence.
