Navigating the Regulatory Landscape in the Digital Realm

In the digital realm, the presence of global regulations and compliance can be seen as a double-edged sword for unregulated, malicious activities. In fact, the very essence of decentralization raises legitimate concerns regarding investor protection, privacy, jurisdiction, and transparency.

Recognizing the growing need for regulation in the Web3 ecosystem, governments and regulatory agencies are seeking solutions that find a middle ground between decentralization and accountability.

As the focus shifts toward the tokenization of real-world assets, greater attention is being given to Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) solutions as potential answers to these regulatory complexities.

Although KYC and AML are essential for verifying lawful transactional data and thwarting illicit blockchain activities, conventional KYC techniques have encountered opposition within the Web3 and cryptocurrency realm. This resistance stems primarily from their incongruence with the principles of user autonomy and privacy.

This emphasizes the necessity for a revamped KYC system that adheres to global regulations while preserving user privacy. That's where Legit ID comes into play. Legit ID is a service born from the company's extensive work in Web3's zero-knowledge proof and identity domain.

The motto, "KYC once, recognized everywhere" summarizes the core feature of Legit ID. It involves a one-time KYC verification stored on the user's device, which can be validated universally.

Developed based on zCloak's zkID protocol, Legit ID harnesses zero-knowledge proof technology and decentralized identity, guaranteeing a secure, privacy-oriented, and adaptable KYC process.

Features of Legit ID

One of the standout features of Legit ID is its ability to ensure omni-chain availability. This means that KYC data, stored off-chain using the W3C DID and VC protocol, can be effortlessly shared with smart contracts operating across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Sui, and any Layer 2 or 3 network, all without incurring bridging fees.

Another aspect of Legit ID is its provision of real-time AML updates. These dynamic AML/CTF alerts deliver instant notifications, which are meant to shield businesses, investors, and users against potentially risky or insecure addresses.

Furthermore, Legit ID offers fine-tuned identity information. The system allows for customization, enabling each verifier to fine-tune criteria and verification processes.
