The Central Question

Can privacy and regulatory compliance coexist on-chain? Zero-knowledge proofs offer a third path: prove you satisfy KYC, sanctions screening, or accredited investor requirements without revealing your identity. This project formalizes shielded compliance in Lean 4: ZK compliance predicates as circuits, shielded transfers with proof attachments, selective disclosure, and credential revocation that doesn’t deanonymize past transactions.

Key Verified Results

transfer_privacy

Shielded transfers reveal nothing beyond compliance

Transfer.lean

disclosure_selective

Only requested attributes are revealed

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”

Not as a slogan. As a structural fact of how the network operates. The only currency that matters is the quality of your contribution, measured not by committee but by mathematics.

Shielded Compliance: Privacy and Regulation Coexist

Contributor

R&D Division

Core insight: regulatory compliance and cryptographic privacy are not fundamentally opposed. Zero-knowledge proofs enable a third path: proving compliance predicates (KYC eligibility, sanctions clearance, accredited status) without revealing the underlying identity data. The prover demonstrates they satisfy the policy without the verifier learning anything else.

ZK Compliance Predicates and Shielded Transfer Protocol

R&D Division

Complete framework: (1) compliance predicates as ZK circuits — boolean functions over identity attributes, (2) shielded transfers — asset movement with ZK proofs of compliance attached, (3) selective disclosure — reveal specific attributes without full identity, (4) revocation — regulators can revoke credentials without deanonymizing past transactions.
