Vestia Protocol Architecture
Fast settlement. ZK compliance. DeFi-ready wrapped assets.
1. Compliance Layer
Vestia uses a KYC Soulbound NFT to represent a user’s verified identity state. A quick zero-knowledge compliance proof checks:
- You own a valid KYC NFT
- Your KYC hasn’t expired or been revoked
- Your jurisdiction is allowed for the asset
- Your transfer is within policy rules
2. Token Layer
Regulated tokens (ERC-3643) can’t move across chains or enter DeFi safely. Vestia uses a Wrapper Contract:
- Source: ERC-3643 tokens locked in wrapper
- Source: Asset origin recorded in registry
- Dest: Compliant ERC-20 (WTKN) minted
- Dest: Compliance checks on every transfer
3. Bridge Layer
Vestia uses an intent-driven bridge for speed. Funds arrive in ~10 seconds while full state proof is generated later for auditability.
- Vestia verifies ZK compliance
- Creates bridge intent & authorizes it
- Destination chain mints wrapped ERC-20 instantly
Vestia Execution Flow
What actually happens when you bridge a regulated asset.
Verify Once
You complete KYC once and mint a KYC Identity NFT. This acts as reusable, private, on-chain identity.
- ✔ No repeated KYC
- ✔ No leaked documents
ZK Compliance Check
Vestia generates a zero-knowledge compliance proof that validates:
- ✔ Allowed to move asset
- ✔ Jurisdiction rules match
- ✔ Compliance valid right now
Wrap the ERC-3643
Vestia locks the user’s regulated ERC-3643 token (MRT) and mints a wrapped ERC-20 (WTKN) inside the wrapper contract.
Instant Settlement
Vestia creates a bridge intent authorized by the protocol. Destination chain mints WTKN instantly.
Use in DeFi
WTKN behaves like a normal ERC-20. DeFi protocols can swap, lend, or pool it.
Compliance is still enforced on every transfer.
Audit & Security
Later, Vestia generates a full state proof showing tokens were locked correctly and no double-spending occurred.
