Privacy and Compliance: Applications of Zero-Knowledge Proofs in Finance

Technology
Blockchain

Zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) is emerging as a key technology driving the integration of Web3 and traditional finance. This course explains why "public transparency" alone is insufficient to meet institutional-level financial needs, and how ZKP enables users and institutions to perform identity verification, auditing, compliant transactions, and cross-border payments without exposing sensitive information—truly achieving a balance between privacy and regulation.

About the Course

"Privacy and Compliance: The Application of Zero-Knowledge Proofs in Finance" is a structured course designed for intermediate-level learners. Through four dimensions—concept explanation, technical principles, case studies, and future trends—the course provides an in-depth analysis of the practical role of privacy technologies in compliant financial systems. It covers ZKP fundamentals, applications in auditing and KYC, controlled privacy models, privacy-enhancing transaction technical pathways, and institutional-grade ZKP architectures, enabling learners to grasp the full landscape of privacy finance in the new era of crypto regulation.
