Sumsub and Chainlink partner to enable privacy-preserving KYC credentials, allowing users to be verified without accessing their data.
Verification solutions Sumsub has partnered with Chainlink, allowing their clients to access the latter’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE).
The partnership provides access to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Identity (CCID) framework, a core component of Chainlink ACE, to unlock reusable, privacy-preserving identity credentials on-chain. This addresses key challenges in on-chain compliance, including enabling verification without exposing raw personal data, supporting reusable identity across multiple wallets, and allowing permissioned access for asset issuers and protocols to enforce eligibility rules.
Once a user completes Sumsub’s KYC flow, Chainlink’s ACE issues a CCID – a reusable, privacy-preserving credential which does not access a user’s personal data. This mechanic allows a single verified identity to be linked across multiple wallets, eliminating the need for repeated KYC at every entry point. The initial rollout will be supported on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon, and Base.
Ilya Brovin, Chief Growth Officer, Sumsub, said: “Through Chainlink ACE, Sumsub can extend its identity verification services into compliant institutional digital asset markets and help enable access to permissioned assets with less friction.”
Ishan Vishnoi, VP of BCM Product & Business Ops, Chainlink Labs, said: “We’re excited to see Sumsub support Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine to advance privacy-preserving identity and compliance infrastructure, enabling the Cross-Chain Identity (CCID) framework for our clients.”
