Cosmos Cash

Go Reference build codecov Libraries.io dependency status for GitHub repo

Summary

Cosmos Cash is a protocol designed to be regulatory compliant that offers the same guarantees as traditional banking systems. Features that enable these guarantees are Know Your Customer (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML) tracking, Financial Action Task Force (FATF) travel rule, and identity management. Cosmos Cash uses a novel approach to identity management by leveraging W3C specifications for decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials.

Research paper

Architecture

The Cosmos Cash approach leverages open standards to reach its goals and to offer an open model that is compatible with third-party projects that use the open standards. In particular, the Cosmos Cash project uses:

  • Self-sovereign identity (SSI)
  • Decentralized identifier (DID)
  • Verifiable credentials (VC)
  • Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP)

For a detailed architecture description and design choices, visit the ADR section.
