# VAAP Today, we are excited to announce the launch of the **Verifiable Application Acceleration Program (VAAP),** a global initiative to empower developers, enterprises, and protocols to build the next generation of verifiable applications on zkPass. This program is backed by $5.5M allocated from our Q2 2025 strategic private round, supported by a group of visionary Web3 investors who believe in the future of the Verifiable Internet. ### Why VAAP? Over the past two years, zkPass has grown into the leading verifiable data infrastructure: * **1M+ unique attested users** across multiple integrations * **200M verifiable computations (TVC)** completed * **80+ ecosystem integrations** spanning DeFi, social, gaming, DePIN, and AI * Trusted by global platforms including **Binance, Coinbase, Duolingo, Uber, and LinkedIn** This momentum makes it clear: the time has come to move beyond protocol foundations and accelerate **real-world adoption** through verifiable applications. ### What is a Verifiable Application? Not another dApp. A **verifiable application** is any system that runs on **proofs instead of promises**. Instead of trusting screenshots, disclosures, or centralized APIs, applications consume cryptographic attestations that guarantee both privacy and integrity. * **zkKYC** lets users prove regulatory compliance without exposing personal records. * **Under-collateralized lending** allows borrowers to demonstrate income or account balances without handing over bank statements. * **Prediction markets** settle outcomes on-chain based on verifiable real-world data rather than centralized feeds. * **Financializing learning data** turns a Duolingo streak, a GitHub commit history, or an online certification into a verifiable digital asset. * **Parametric insurance** enables payouts based on weather or flight data proven directly from Web2 sources. * **Reputation-driven advertising** makes campaigns target audiences based on verifiable reputation, not on leaked or harvested profiles. Verifiable applications redefine what data means. Data is no longer a static entry locked inside a database or exposed to intermediaries. * It becomes **portable**, able to move across systems with integrity preserved. * It becomes **private**, revealing only what is necessary and nothing more. * It becomes **liquid**, usable as an economic primitive in financial, social, and AI-native ecosystems. This is the foundation of the **Verifiable Internet**: a world where applications no longer process raw data, they process **truth**. ### What VAAP Offers The **VAAP framework** provides full-stack acceleration for builders: * **Technology enablement**: direct access to zkPass SDKs, DevHub, and Schema Market incentives for rapid proof integration * **Go-to-market support**: distribution through the zkPass partner network, co-marketing, and ecosystem exposure * **Enterprise and compliance support**: connections to institutions, exchanges, and advisory partners to accelerate adoption * **Funding alignment**: strategic co-investment opportunities for projects with strong proof-of-business ### Commitments for VAAP Projects In joining VAAP, projects are expected to reinforce the zkPass ecosystem by: * Building with **commercial orientation** and clear revenue models * Contributing back via **protocol revenue sharing** * Driving **$ZKP adoption** across settlement, access, or staking models * Designing **verifiable-first**, where proofs are the foundation of trust ### Looking Ahead As we continue to scale, we believe **verifiable data is the missing trust layer of the internet**. With zkTLS, any developer can transform web data into proofs that preserve both privacy and integrity. The Verifiable Application Acceleration Program gives us and our partners - the platform, resources, and alignment to make verifiable applications the new standard. *** 🌍 **Applications for VAAP are now open.** πŸ‘‰ Apply here: Let’s build the Verifiable Internet together. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
