Lighter.IM is a pioneering decentralized fiat on/off-ramp solution leveraging Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology. Our mission is to eliminate the friction for users entering and exiting the Web3 ecosystem by providing a secure, non-custodial, and privacy-preserving environment.
Lighter.IM bridges Decentralized Finance (DeFi) with off-chain fiat payments through ZKP-based verification. By enabling users to generate ZK-proofs of their payment credentials locally (via zkTLS), the protocol allows smart contracts to verify fiat transactions without exposing sensitive banking data or compromising privacy.
Lighter.IM acts as a decentralized fiduciary for user intent, automatically releasing escrowed assets upon successful cryptographic proof verification.
- Multi-Chain Support: Native interoperability with Ethereum, Base, and Horizen ecosystems.
- Privacy-First Design: Protects Personally Identifiable Information (PII) using Zero-Knowledge proofs.
- Intent-Centric Architecture: Leverages EIP-712 and Nostr for decentralized intent matching and communication.
- Web3 Identity: Utilizes ERC-6551 (Token Bound Accounts) for a robust, NFT-based reputation system.
