- The XION chain has unveiled the ZK Module and DKIM Module to foster scalable email verification.
- The Circle-backed L1 chain already serves over 800,000 monthly active users
- The future growth prospects for XION are bolstered by the rising demand for human verification in the AI era.
XION (XION) has launched the first onchain Zero Knowledge (ZK) email verification. This layer one (L1) blockchain focused on turning verified day into programmable value has announced the strategic launch of its ZK Module and DKIM Module to catalyze privacy-centric communication at scale.
“XION becomes the first blockchain to store email verification keys on-chain. Combined with protocol-level zero-knowledge verification, you can now prove any claim from your email without revealing the email itself,” the announcement stated.
XION Unveils ZK and DKIM Modules With Robust Community
The XION blockchain unveiled the ZK and DKIM modules with a huge backing from the community. XION already serves more than 800,000 monthly active users with the integration of Gmail and Apple Mail supported.
As such, XION has a ready market of more than 3.8 billion global users through its integration with Gmail and Apple Mail. Most importantly, more than 150 brands – led by Uber, Amazon, and BMW – are already building consumer applications based on the XION infrastructure.
The XION blockchain is backed by top Web3 investors led by Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE: CRCL), Hashkey, and Arrington Capital. XION’s ZK and DKIM’s modules could help catalyze the mainstream organic adoption of blockchain and digital assets in the long term, especially after raising over $36 million from these investors.
Key Use Cases
The use cases for XION’s ZK and DKIM Modules vary, but all of them revolve around zero-knowledge proofs. For instance, a whistleblower can now tap into XION’s ZK and DKIM Modules to remain anonymous, whereby they can prove selected information.
The XION’s ZK and DKIM modules are also useful in verifying anonymous workplace reviews from confirmed employees. In the web3 space, the new XION’s email verification infrastructure helps to back up crypto wallets’ recovery seed phrases.
Other notable use cases for this tech debut on the blockchain include private credential verification, trustless ticket resale platforms, and the insurance claims industry.
“The trust problem isn’t going away. AI is making it exponentially worse every month. But the solution was already sitting in your inbox, waiting for the infrastructure to make it usable,” the announcement stated.
Why Now?
According to Burnt Banksy, the founder of XION network, the strategic launch of XION’s ZK and DKIM Modules aligns with the growing needs for privacy-centric communications. Furthermore, the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) tech has existed for more than two decades but still carries notable risks, especially due to the centralization of servers.
“Every other email verification system pulls keys from DNS – centralized servers that can change, disappear, or be censored. XION stores them permanently on-chain. trustless. verifiable by anyone. controlled by no one,” the XION team noted.
