Problem

Users face repetitive KYC verification across every crypto wallet, on-ramp, and service, creating friction and drop-off during onboarding. Each transaction requires re-submitting sensitive personal data, which is then shared with third parties, increasing privacy risks and compliance costs for service providers.

Solution

faceConnect tokenizes existing KYC verification into a portable, encrypted credential that users fully control. Once verified, users connect their identity token to any wallet or on-ramp supporting faceConnect with a single tap, eliminating forms and re-entry. Zero-knowledge proofs validate credentials across services without ever exposing raw data to third parties, ensuring privacy while maintaining compliance. The platform detects verified ID tokens during transactions and enables one-tap verification, with optional biometric confirmation for high-value transactions.

Target Audience

Primary customers are crypto on-ramps, wallets, and Web3 services seeking to reduce onboarding drop-off and KYC costs while offering users a private, reusable identity layer.
