ZKP2P: Solving Fiat-to-Crypto On-Ramp Problem
ZKP2P is a trustless Fiat-to-Crypto P2P on-ramp powered by ZK Proofs. It aims to solve the off-ramp problem by providing a robust and indestructible on-ramp solution. Currently, the UX for on-ramping is not user-friendly, requiring centralized exchanges or high fees. ZKP2P leverages ZK Proofs to validate DKIM signatures in Venmo and HDFC transaction confirmation emails, allowing users to unlock on-chain assets like ETH and USDC. Deposit users can charge fees, incentivizing liquidity into the protocol. The integration with UPI in India allows for seamless fund transfers, potentially enabling remittances and global access to USD. The project was inspired by frustrations with centralized exchanges and aims to create a global and permissionless on-ramp solution.
