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. We’ve 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 TRON’s core values of speed, efficiency, and low costs.

Key differentiators:

  • :high_voltage: Production Ready: Only open source zkTLS solution in production with 1M+ verifications
  • :rocket: Ultra-Fast: Generate ZK proofs in <4 seconds on 2015 Android devices
  • :locked: Privacy First: Client-side credential generation, no centralized data storage
  • :globe_with_meridians: Universal Access: Works with any HTTPS endpoint without API integration
  • :robot: AI-Powered: Automated template generation for any website in <30 minutes

  • Generate a zkTLS proof of your data

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 ‘attestor’ 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 website’s 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-circuit’s 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.

Gm reclaim protocol, welocome to tron and the TBL.

while your project is bit technical to understand now.

i will check back for more. all the best to you.

i see you got 30+ team. then building would be faster

Reclaim Protocol enables users to generate zero-knowledge proofs from their HTTPS traffic, allowing verifiable claims about their online activity without needing API access or platform permission.

Watch this video to get better understanding.

Hey team, had the chance to try on another chain to mint X credentials. Nice to see you here

Welcome to TBL, read your whole submission from start to finish and it’s interesting like on a “too good to be true” basis.
You mentioned that AI can generate website templates in under 30 minutes, and I’m just wowed by it, but will it be accurate enough for Web2 platforms that require login and/or CAPTCHA?

Hey @manfred_jr, The AI flow doesn’t bypass any security - users perform all authentication themselves (login, CAPTCHA, 2FA). Our system only observes HTTPS traffic patterns after successful authentication. The AI automates data pattern recognition (JSON paths, XPaths, regex) that would normally take hours of manual analysis.

I got it know. Thank you and keep building!

I am welcoming you to the tbl, you say that you are automatic template generator for website do you mean like creating of banner because I am confused small

Automatic template generation means that if the server response changes, AI will help generate the latest JSON responses format without breaking the data providers.
