Private “Proof‑of‑Funds” for OTC Deals, Launchpad Spots, and VIP Access

zkTLS

Short version: With Orange Pass (powered by zkTLS), people can show they meet simple checks on big exchanges—like “I own this account,” “I passed KYC,” “I have at least $1,000”—without revealing their real balance, username, or personal documents. Projects can use these private proofs to open OTC rooms, give guaranteed allocations, or unlock VIP features—right now.


The problem 

Screenshots and manual review are slow and easy to fake. Centralized KYC vendors are expensive and create data‑leak risks. Teams want fast, trustworthy checks without collecting passports or seeing exact balances.


How it works in 60 seconds

  1. User installsOrange Pass (a browser extension) and open the project verification page (Projects can easily configure).
  2. They choose a simple check—e.g., “KYC passed on Binance” or “Funds ≥ $1,000 on OKX.” The project verification page calls Orange Pass to open the data source webpage and start automatic verification.
    Orange Pass creates a private proof on the user’s device. It only says pass/fail for the chosen rule—never the person’s identity or balance.
  3. The project app (your site, bot, or smart contract) verifies the proof and grants access.

Think of it like a sealed note from the exchange that says “Yes, this wallet meets the requirement,” without showing anything else.
