zkIdentity System

Overview

zkIdentity is zkShine’s privacy-preserving identity layer, allowing users to verify attributes not identities.

Instead of exposing KYC data, zkIdentity creates cryptographic attestations that can be verified on-chain without revealing the underlying data.

Core Principles

Concept	Description
Selective Disclosure	Users reveal only the facts they choose (e.g., “I’m over 18”) — not full credentials.
Self-Custody	Identity proofs are owned, generated, and stored by users inside zkVault.
Interoperable Attestations	zkIdentity credentials can be recognized by any dApp supporting zkShine SDK.
ZK-Based Validation	Smart contracts verify authenticity without accessing raw identity data.
