Owning zkPass (ZKP): Uses, Storage and Risks

zkPass is a decentralized oracle protocol designed to turn information from HTTPS websites into proofs that can be checked on-chain. It uses zkTLS, combining 3P-TLS and Hybrid-ZK cryptography, and is intended to let users prove facts without relying on OAuth, API keys or a trusted intermediary.

That describes the protocol, not necessarily a benefit you receive just by holding ZKP. zkPass has not clearly stated what holders can do with the token or whether it is required to use the service. Before treating ZKP as a payment, staking or governance token, check current project documentation and confirm the relevant functions are live. A protocol’s purpose does not guarantee that its token captures usage or gives holders rights.

ZKP has been issued on Ethereum and BNB Chain; it is not listed as the native token of either network. When receiving or sending it, make sure your wallet and the destination support the same network. Sending tokens to an address on the wrong network can make them difficult or impossible to recover.

Use a wallet that supports the network you intend to use, and verify the token’s official contract address before adding or transferring it. The contract addresses and token standards are not specified here, so do not choose a token based on its name or ticker alone: other assets can use the same symbol. If you use a centralized exchange, check which networks it supports for both deposits and withdrawals. Network support can differ, even when an exchange lists the same token.

ZKP has a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens. The reported total supply is also 1 billion, while the circulating supply is about 201.7 million—roughly one-fifth of the maximum—as of 2026-11-08. The difference matters because tokens not currently circulating could affect future availability if they are released or distributed.

The reported market capitalization was about $7.4 million and fully diluted valuation about $36.6 million as of 2026-11-08. These are snapshots, not fixed values. Circulating supply, market price and valuations can change, and a fully diluted valuation is not a promise that tokens will enter circulation on a particular schedule. zkPass’s token release schedule and allocation details are not specified here, so check current project information before relying on assumptions about future supply.

For self-custody, keep your recovery phrase offline and private, use a strong device passcode, and check the network and recipient address before confirming a transfer. Never share a recovery phrase or approve a transaction just because a message claims to be from zkPass. A hardware wallet can help protect keys, but it cannot prevent mistakes such as approving a malicious transaction.

ZKP also carries project and market risks. zkPass’s security details are not clear, and the practical steps for getting started and costs are not specified here. The protocol’s privacy-focused design does not by itself prove that every use is risk-free or that a proof will reveal nothing sensitive; understand what information a proof exposes before using it. Token prices can fall sharply, and a token’s connection to a useful protocol does not ensure demand, liquidity or value. Only risk funds you can afford to lose.
