Partner Docs:
Zero-Knowledge Tooling & Infrastructure
zkEmail libraries can be used for verifying that particular emails were sent from particular senders, letting you verify things like account ownership of social apps, flight purchases, digital subscriptions, etc.. Example use-cases have included zkP2P and Proof of Twitter
Reclaim SDKs make it simple to bring user activity, reputation, and identity from external websites into your own application. It includes data providers from some of the most popular websites. If the website you want to import data from isn't on the list, you can build your own data provider using their developer tool.
Decentralized Signing & Encryption Infrastructure
Lit Developer Guides Repo & Lit SDK API Reference
Lit Protocol Encryption & Access Control Docs
Lit's encryption protocol can be used to store data securely and privately on the open web. With Lit, you can encrypt your data client side and define flexible rules for permitting access. This includes checking for NFT or token ownership, verifying custom smart contract logic, off-chain events, and more. Use Lit encryption as a primitive for building user-owned social apps, verifiable credential platforms, data marketplaces, IP management, and more.
Lit Protocol Decentralized Compute Docs
Lit Actions are immutable JavaScript programs that enable the creation of powerful, blockchain-agnostic applications with built-in cryptographic capabilities like signing and encryption. Lit Actions can be used to fetch data from on or off-chain sources, program signing or encryption based on conditional logic ("If, Then"), perform secure user authentication, and more. Use Lit Actions to build cross-chain DeFi, decentralized data oracles, autonomous AI agents, and more.
Abstract: Abstraction Infrastructure
Chain Abstraction Documentation & Advanced Testing & Deployment Tool for CosmWasm & Abstract TypeScript SDK
Utilize the Abstract infrastructure to build powerful chain-abstracted applications that can communicate & interact with connected ecosystems.
Noble: USDC & CCTP
IBC Channel Details & Noble documentation & CCTP Documentation
Integrate USDC natively into your application, and connect it to CCTP to tap into USDC across all Circle-connected ecosystems.
SubQuery: Indexing
