What is ZK-KYC and why is it different from traditional KYC?

ZK-KYC is a privacy focused way to verify identity without exposing personal data. Instead of sharing full documents, users can prove they meet verification requirements while keeping sensitive information hidden. ZK-KYC uses zero knowledge cryptography to confirm facts such as age or residency without revealing raw data. This reduces data leaks and puts control back in the hands of users. ZK-KYC helps companies meet compliance rules while lowering the risk of storing personal information. It also improves user trust because verification feels safer and less intrusive.
