Rather than a free-for-all that can encourage illicit activity, **zkBob proactively prevents illicit activity** through several compliance features.\n\n\n### Compliance features\n\nCompliance features baked into zkBob include:\n- **Deposit limits** to prevent large sums from coming in at once (ie from bridge hacks).\n- **Optional KYC** to increase deposit limits.\n- **Integration with TRM** to check and reject suspicious wallets\n- Ability for users to **provide transaction history if requested** (this is private information that can only be viewed by the sender/receiver)\n- **Additional exploration** into compliance features that prevent illicit activity while protecting individual privacy.\n\n\n## zkBob Traction\n\nzkBob is developing internal use cases and attracting external use cases where privacy makes sense, and onboarding more users and developers to the open-source codebase.\n\nzkBob continues to gain traction and usage, and current usage stats can be seen on the Dune analytics dashboard at https://dune.com/maxaleks/zkbob. \n\n## Additional Links\n\n- **Docs:** https://docs.zkbob.com/zkbob-overview/readme\n- **Github:** https://github.com/zkbob\n- **Roadmap:** https://docs.zkbob.com/roadmap/on-the-roadmap\n- **Website:** https://www.zkbob.com/\n- **Twitter:** https://twitter.com/zkbob_", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "zkBob", "projectTwitter": "zkBob_"}, "recipient": "0x73DcE9348a03975415C6Fa5296e71C1ABaE61407"}}
