KYC / KYB Features
Lower cost and complexity of multiple 3rd party providers, enable frictionless onboarding, shorten time-to-market and facilitate the means to comply with global KYC/KYB requirements.
Seamless identity verification, geo-fencing, and age checks, powered by Concordium's protocol-level identity. No external add-ons, fast development, and accountable features built in to protect privacy and trust, for the people and the AI agents being verified.

Built-in identity at the protocol level replaces patchwork solutions and cuts verification overhead. With Verify with Concordium ID, stablecoin and money market fund issuers can simplify onboarding, lower legal costs, and expand distribution with confidence.

Reduce reliance on single point of failure. Concordium’s ID layer ensures sensitive data is never stored in one place or exposed through vulnerable smart contracts.
Seamless identity checks and built-in privacy features reassure users, which boosts investor confidence and drives mainstream adoption among institutions and retail segments.
Easily issue cryptographically verifiable credentials, i.e. accredited investor status or citizenship restrictions, essential for regulated tokenized funds and compliant stablecoin issuances.
Retain the ability to lawfully disclose identity only when required by authorities. This aligns with regulatory demands for accountability, while preserving user privacy.
Built-in ID and zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) capabilities simplify geo-fencing, age-gating, and cross-border compliance, reducing operational risks and compliance burdens for stablecoin issuers.
Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) verify information without revealing unnecessary details. Concordium's protocol-level identity uses ZKPs to power privacy-preserving transactions across TradFi, DeFi, GameFi, payments, and agent-to-agent activity.
Concordium’s ID and ZKP framework powers geofencing capabilities, allowing stablecoin issuers to control protocol-level tokens (PLT) access based on verified citizenship. This built-in layer supports features that streamline regulatory alignment, while ensuring frictionless user experience and global scalability.
The same protocol-level identity that verifies people also verifies agents. The Agent Registry lets developers register an AI agent with verifiable identity anchored to Concordium ID, binding it to the human or entity accountable for it. Counterparties can then check who stands behind an agent before they transact, without exposing anyone's personal data.
On top of Concordium’s ID layer is a tooling suite called Web3ID, which facilitates more complex issuance and permission management of verifiable credentials. This is a new W3C standard for managing digital certificates.
Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) allow claims of information to be securely verified. Embedded in Concordium’s protocol layer, ZKPs enable seamless and secure identity verification, protection of payment data, and trust building without compromising personal information.
Users undergo an identity check before account activation on the network with an ID service provider, enabling various innovative use cases.
Verify Truth & Maintain Privacy
Prove a claim, event or right while ensuring user privacy and compliant payment solutions.
Reduce Compliance Costs
Streamline geofencing and KYC/AML checks without exposing excessive personal data.
Proof of Account Ownership
Provide proof of account ownership without exposing private details.
Pedersen Commitments
Concordium’s Head Architect, T.P. Pedersen pioneered a commitment protocol foundational to modern ZK applications.
ZK Implementations
Pedersen's contribution enabled lightweight ZK proofs that allow ID registration, account opening, and ID-attribute proofs from cell phones.
ZKPs Directly in Wallets
ZK-based account opening, preventing any single parties from linking ID to accounts.
Self-Sovereign Identity
All ID-attribute ZK proofs require user consent.
Accountability & Privacy
ID-attribute ZK proofs allow compliance while preserving user privacy.
Issuing a stablecoin, or building agents that move value? Launch on infrastructure with verified identity and accountability built in, and cut smart contract risk for humans and AI agents alike.
