29th October 2025 – zkPass, a privacy-focused oracle protocol,has just launched its community sale on KaitoAI Capital. Backed by top investors like Binance Labs and Animoca Brands, the protocol has raised a total of $15 million across seed and Series A rounds. Now, it’s in the spotlight again with the launch of its $ZKP token community sale, which went live on October 27, 2025.
At its core, zkPass allows users to prove facts from any HTTPS website – whether it’s their Duolingo streak, CEX balance, or Uber history, using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), multi-party computation (MPC), and a custom protocol called zkTLS. This system ensures that sensitive data stays off-chain while verifiers still get cryptographic guarantees of authenticity.
Its flagship tools include:
The protocol also supports a wide range of integrations and use cases – from DeFi airdrops and under-collateralized lending to reputation scoring and AI data feeds.
zkPass isn’t just a concept, it’s already live across ecosystems like Arbitrum, zkSync, and more. Its TransGate Chrome extension has been audited by Halborn, and its Verifiable Reputation Score (VRS) system is already turning Web2 activity into trust metrics for crypto applications. To date, zkPass has:
The $ZKP community sale is live on Kaito AI Capital Launchpad and runs from Oct 27 to Nov 3, 2025. Designed with sybil resistance in mind, the launch prioritizes proof-based reputation (via zkPass VRS) over screenshots or wallet farming. Details include:
The early demand has been explosive. In under 48 hours, zkPass attracted $56M+ in pledges, oversubscribing the round nearly 28 times. Over $40M was pledged in the first hour alone, making it one of the strongest launches ever on Kaito’s platform.
zkPass claims to solve a real and growing need – proof without exposure. From KYC and lending to governance and rewards, the ability to verify without revealing identity is crucial as Web3 scales. With its funding secured, massive early traction, and real-world applications already live, zkPass is quickly emerging as a leader in privacy-preserving infrastructure.
The project is expected to ride the growing wave of interest in zero-knowledge tech, joining the ranks of giants like Zcash, but with broader utility across DeFi, identity, and AI.
