ZKProtocol × Bitlayer Strategic Partnership

Executive Summary

ZKProtocol evolved from zkCaptcha into the world's fastest modular zero-knowledge verifier, purpose-built for high-throughput, privacy-preserving identity and proof verification across Bitcoin and multichain ecosystems.

Live benchmark testing confirms that ZKProtocol significantly outperforms Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, and Worldcoin achieving sub-100ms end-to-end latency, 90.7% verification success, and 100% privacy preservation. It is the ideal verifier for BitVM dispute resolution, on-chain rollups, and Bitcoin-native trustless infrastructure.

Why ZKProtocol is a Strategic Fit for Bitlayer

1. Modular ZK Architecture

✓Supports chunked verification aligned with BitVM's dispute resolution flow.
✓Enables recursive SNARKs for L2 proof compression and scalability.
✓Optimized for sub-100ms latency, meeting real-time Bitcoin transaction needs.
✓No PII collected; ensures compliance with Bitcoin's privacy principles.

2. Bitcoin-Native Design

✓Compatible with UTXO-based state transitions.
✓Designed for integration with Taproot and OP_CAT-based rollups.
✓Built using Groth16 with post-quantum experimentation (Dilithium2, Falcon512, SPHINCS+).

3. Enterprise Infrastructure

✓Dockerized microservices with horizontal scalability.
✓Supabase identity layer with selective disclosure.
✓Prometheus/Grafana monitoring and real-time alerting.
✓Optional compliance automation modules (GDPR, CCPA, KYC/AML ready).

Technical Specifications

Capability	Specification
Proof Generation	~200ms (Web Worker optimized)
Proof Verification	<50ms (backend optimized)
Memory Footprint	<50MB per verification
Concurrent Users	25+ with linear scaling

ZKProtocol's Technical Moat

Core Deep Tech Stack

✓Circom ZK Circuits: Real Groth16 SNARKs, production-tested.
✓Federated ZKML: Privacy-preserving model updates via ZK aggregation.
✓Quantum-Resistant Cryptography: Modules for Dilithium2, Falcon512, SPHINCS+.
✓Cross-Chain Identity Layer: Selective disclosure via Supabase + ZK validator network.

Result: A multi-layered moat requiring years of R&D to replicate. Spanning zero-knowledge cryptography, behavioral ML, and quantum security.

Privacy Assurance Framework

✓Zero PII Collection — no names, emails, or device data stored.
✓No Browser Fingerprinting — Canvas, WebGL, and device IDs disabled.
✓Ephemeral Verification — data auto-deleted within 5 minutes.
✓GDPR/CCPA Compliant — documented privacy policy and audit trail.
✓ZK-Only Verification — cryptographic proofs, not personal data, are validated.

Audit trail documentation available upon request.
