Rarimo is building a permissionless ZK Registry that redefines how identities, interactions, and social graphs are managed. Unlike traditional identity protocols that depend on centralized issuers or specialized hardware, Rarimo uses client-side proving to deliver a truly censorship-resistant backbone. Instead of striving to build a universal identity, Rarimo embraces a pluralistic approach. This empowers developers to create applications that respect user anonymity while preserving historical interactions and ensuring continuity of identity.
The ZK Registry is a ZK Rollup that functions as an on-chain registry for abstract statements. It enables proving the system's state without revealing details about individual statements. By aggregating standardized, provable statements in a permissionless registry, the ZK Registry provides a flexible foundation for many use cases. Developers can implement protocols like identity verification, reputation, and proof-of-attendance with minimal effort, making it easier to build privacy-preserving applications.

Rarimo deploys the ZK Registry to a dedicated ZK Rollup to leverage Ethereum's security and interoperability while maintaining affordability and flexibility. Additionally, ZK Registry updates can be propagated to other Layer 1 networks, ensuring seamless synchronization of root states across multiple ecosystems.
Rarimo provides a suite of tools to help developers build trustless identities and privacy-preserving applications. These tools include:
ZK Passport Registry transforms biometric passports into unique, privacy-preserving digital identities. Unlike most solutions, it combines decentralized infrastructure, reliable uniqueness verification, and privacy.

Bionetta is a client-side framework for generating private inference proofs using Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning(ZKML). By focusing on public model weights, Bionetta ensures user inputs remain fully private. This approach is ideally suited for privacy-preserving use cases such as biometric verification in Web3.

The ZK Graph Registry allows users to prove their reputation based on private relationships and interactions, without exposing sensitive details. By leveraging zero-knowledge proofs, users can verify their trustworthiness and standing in various communities while maintaining complete control over their privacy.

Several applications are being built on top of Rarimo:
- Rarimo App: A self-sovereign mobile wallet for managing digital identity.
- Freedom Tool: A privacy-preserving voting solution designed for e-democracy.
ZK Registry is entirely open-source and built with extensibility in mind, following ERC-7812. If your DApp can benefit from private yet provable data, bring it on!
