Coins Research — zkPasses (ZKPs) — 04 January 2026

TL;DR

• Idea: zkPass is a privacy-preserving oracle protocol that transforms private Web2 data into verifiable on-chain proofs using a novel zkTLS protocol without requiring APIs or data uploads
• Catalyst: Recent exchange listings on DigiFinex and growing adoption with 200M+ proofs generated and 10M+ proofs issued
• Risks: Nascent technology with small market cap and uncertain regulatory landscape; adoption depends on ecosystem integration and performance at scale
• Score: 7.00/ 10
