# zkKYC Framework

### **zkKYC Framework**

zkKYC (Zero-Knowledge Know-Your-Customer) provides regulatory-grade compliance **without centralized data collection**.

zkShine’s zkKYC allows users to prove they are compliant (e.g., from a specific country, above age limit, non-sanctioned) using **cryptographic attestations**, not documents.

#### **System Workflow**

1. User performs KYC verification via a zkShine-approved verifier (e.g., third-party KYC oracle).
2. The verifier issues a zkAttestation stored in zkVault.
3. The user generates a zkProof confirming compliance (“verified”) without sharing personal data.
4. Any dApp or smart contract can validate the proof directly on Solana.

#### **Advantages**

* No sensitive data on-chain or server-side
* Fully compliant with privacy regulations (GDPR, APPI, etc.)
* Compatible with zkIdentity and zkReputation layers
* Enables permissioned DeFi and institutional access without central custodians
