ZKP2P: Building a Trustless Fiat-to-Crypto On/Off-Ramp Powered by ZK

ZKP2P is a peer-to-peer fiat-to-crypto on/off-ramp application built using zero-knowledge proofs (ZK). It uses ZK email to verify email authenticity and ZKRegex to extract specific information from emails. Users deposit funds into escrow on-chain and then send a transaction on Venmo to complete the transaction. ZKP2P aims to provide a decentralized and secure way to facilitate on/off-ramping of funds. The team is working on increasing limits, adding bridges, and exploring other ZK primitives. They hope to enable seamless and private transactions between different payment systems.

In this week’s episode, Anna and Tarun interview Brian Weickmann & Richard Liang from the ZKP2P project. They cover the opportunities and challenges of building ZK applications with the current tools available, as well as revisit the topic of ZK Email and explore how this lies at the heart of the current version of ZKP2P. They also discuss the goals of ZKP2P, what’s happening under the hood, the types of experiments and initiatives the project is running, how a user can already use the existing product and the opportunities systems like ZKP2P open up.
