For the first time in history, you can prove your identity without revealing who you are.
We convert raw palm vein and print images into non-reversible, non-reconstructable encrypted templates stored and processed through an MPC network, then immediately discard biometric imagery. No single central database.
A cryptographic middleware that proves uniqueness, liveness, and entitlement without revealing the underlying biometric template or personal information.
A tamper resistant operatorless module that verifies biometrics without storing data; enabling password-less wallets and verifiable credentials.
Enable Frictionless Transactions Without Compromising Privacy.
Process payments without storing biometric data: Palm-vein checkout for crypto and traditional payments with zero-knowledge receipts.
Eliminate card fraud and account takeovers: Contactless authentication that can’t be stolen, copied, or forgotten.
Reduce checkout friction for higher conversions: No cards, PINs, passwords, or mobile apps required.
