Cysic and Fluxe have announced a partnership to launch what they claim is the first scalable, compliant privacy protocol for stablecoin payments. The collaboration aims to solve crypto's classic privacy-compliance paradox by combining Fluxe's zero-knowledge compliance framework with Cysic's hardware-accelerated proving infrastructure.
The core problem is simple: businesses and institutions need to prove compliance with regulations like AML and sanctions screening, but existing privacy protocols often fail regulatory scrutiny, while fully transparent solutions undermine privacy entirely. This stalemate has stalled adoption, particularly for B2B payments where both confidentiality and compliance are non-negotiable, leaving the industry in a state of perpetual regulatory limbo.
Fluxe's approach uses a ZK promises framework, allowing users to cryptographically prove they're not interacting with sanctioned addresses or exceeding reporting thresholds without revealing transaction details, wallet histories, or payment flows. Essentially, you can prove you're not breaking the rules without showing your financial diary, which is a relief for anyone who's ever bought a meme coin at 3 AM.
The challenge has always been computational. Generating and aggregating compliance proofs in real-time is computationally intensive, creating latency and cost barriers that make most privacy solutions feel like watching paint dry. Cysic's solution is a decentralized, hardware-accelerated ZK infrastructure powered by custom ASICs and GPU clusters across a global network of over 260,000 nodes. This reduces proof aggregation times from minutes to seconds, turning a slow-cooked meal into a drive-thru experience.
The integration works like this: Fluxe users generate individual payment proofs directly on their devices. These proofs are then aggregated using Cysic's accelerated ZK circuits for on-chain settlement, enabling high throughput without central points of failure, because nothing says "trustless" like a global army of nodes crunching numbers.
"Building the future of finance means rethinking how privacy and trust coexist," said Leo Fan, Founder and CEO of Cysic. "With Fluxe's zero-knowledge based compliance and Cysic's accelerated compute, we are laying the groundwork for private payments that meet the demands of both users and regulators."
Rahul Ghangas, Founder and CEO of Fluxe, added: "Partnering with Cysic allows us to scale our compliance model without sacrificing user privacy or performance. This is a critical step towards private stablecoin payments that regulators can trust and users can actually use."
The partnership claims to enable stablecoin payments that protect sensitive transaction data while meeting regulatory requirements, unlocking use-cases across payroll, treasury operations, and cross-border settlements. It also provides exchanges with a path to list privacy-preserving assets that can pass due diligence and compliance review, potentially ending the era of privacy coins being treated like radioactive material.
Key benefits of the integration include zero-knowledge based compliant privacy without exposing transaction data, cross-chain stablecoin payments, real-time compliance proofs, support for thousands of concurrent users with low latency, decentralized proving infrastructure, and programmable payments including subscriptions and recurring transfers.
Cysic, backed by investors including Polychain Capital, OKX Ventures, and HashKey Capital, is building a verifiable compute engine for Web3. Fluxe is a universal privacy protocol for cross-chain stablecoin payments with built-in regulatory compliance.
