Why SBX ID
Trusted, private and DeFi-ready. At once.
Every existing approach forces a trade-off: accepted but siloed, private but unrecognised, or open but non-compliant. SBX ID is built so you never have to choose.
Portable by design
Verify once and the credential travels with the user's wallet to every integrated platform. No re-submitting documents, ever.
Private by proof
Zero-knowledge proofs answer eligibility questions without revealing the data behind them. Documents stay encrypted off-chain.
Regulator-grade
Built to FATF, MiCA, VARA and MAS standards, with reliance provisions that keep platforms compliant, not exposed.
DeFi native
The credential is an on-chain token any contract can read, so permissioned pools work from day one, not as an afterthought.
Answer the question. Reveal nothing.
A platform asks whether a holder qualifies. The ZK engine answers from data that stays sealed in the vault and returns only a proof. The documents never move.

How SBX ID compares.
Set side by side with traditional KYC and self-sovereign identity, the difference is not a feature. It is being all three things: accepted, private and enforceable, in one design.
