Project Overview
Project Goal: To bring Web2 identity and data verification to the TRON ecosystem through production-ready zkTLS infrastructure, enabling developers to build applications requiring verified identity, KYC compliance, sybil resistance, and trustless oracle services while maintaining user privacy and data sovereignty.
Unique Value Proposition:
Reclaim Protocol is the only production-ready zkTLS infrastructure currently live and serving 25+ clients across 30+ blockchains. Weâve achieved over 1 million+ verifications and leverage AI for rapid data fetching from any HTTPS endpoints. Our integration with TRON will unlock unprecedented possibilities for DeFi protocols, identity verification systems, and oracle services while maintaining TRONâs core values of speed, efficiency, and low costs.
Key differentiators:
Production Ready: Only open source zkTLS solution in production with 1M+ verifications
Ultra-Fast: Generate ZK proofs in <4 seconds on 2015 Android devices
Privacy First: Client-side credential generation, no centralized data storage
Universal Access: Works with any HTTPS endpoint without API integration
AI-Powered: Automated template generation for any website in <30 minutes

Expected Completion Date for 2025: September-October 2025
Current Progress (%): 0% (Starting fresh integration with TRON ecosystem)

Technical Details
Phase 1: Core Reclaim Integration (8 weeks)
Reclaim Protocol Architecture: Reclaim empowers users to generate Zero-Knowledge Proofs for any online user profile. Users log into websites, with HTTPS requests channeled through an âattestorâ proxy server that oversees encrypted data exchange. Users provide keys that disclose non-sensitive request parts to the attestor, which validates legitimacy while keeping authentication data confidential.
The websiteâs encrypted response is processed by a zk-circuit that identifies regex matches within encrypted data using a decryption key as confidential input. The attestor validates that the zk-circuitâs public input was indeed encrypted data from the website. With attestations on both request and encrypted response, coupled with zk-proof, any third-party application can verify data existence on user profiles.
Key Features:
- Sub-4 second proof generation even on 2015 Android devices
- No plugins/apps required - SDK embeds seamlessly in applications
- AI-powered provider creation for any website in <30 minutes
- Client-side credential generation with Groth16 ZK proofs
Phase 2: zkFetch Oracle (6 weeks)
zkFetch Architecture: zkFetch extends HTTP fetch operations with zero-knowledge proof capabilities, enabling cryptographic verification of data from any HTTPS endpoint while maintaining privacy of sensitive information like API keys.
Features:
- Cryptographically verified external data feeds for TRON dApps
- Support for financial, weather, sports, and any other custom API integrations
- Response matching using regex/JSON path patterns with privacy preservation
- Real-time data updates
Smart Contract Links: Coming soon after TBL approval
How is the Project Governed?: Currently No governance model, work in progess.
