Problem
The current internet structure limits users' control over their data, creating walled gardens that stifle innovation and restrict data accessibility. Traditional data-sharing methods lack the necessary security and privacy measures, leaving users vulnerable to unauthorized access and data breaches.
Solution
Opacity provides a solution for secure and private data verification from any source on the internet, leveraging zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and multi-party computation (MPC). The platform puts users back in control of their data by enabling them to prove statements about their data without revealing the underlying details. Opacity's zkTLS technology extends existing networks, allowing users to verify, collect, and exchange data privately. This approach empowers users, bypasses the need for institutional cooperation, and extends the capabilities of existing networks.
Target Audience
Opacity targets users and developers seeking to build applications that require verifiable computation with enhanced privacy properties, including those in consumer products, AI, finance, and digital ownership.
