ZeroSwipes: AI + Zero-Knowledge Powered Matchmaking Platform
About The Project
ZeroSwipes is a privacy-focused matchmaking and identity verification platform built on blockchain infrastructure and zero-knowledge proof systems. Unlike traditional dating applications that rely heavily on endless swiping, centralized user data storage, and intrusive identity collection, ZeroSwipes focuses on secure user verification, trust, and privacy-preserving interactions.
The platform leverages zero-knowledge identity verification mechanisms and smart contracts deployed on Scroll’s Sepolia network to validate users without exposing sensitive personal information. By combining blockchain transparency with anonymous authentication, the project aims to create a safer and more trustworthy matchmaking ecosystem.
The project architecture includes frontend applications, API services, EVM-compatible smart contracts, and verification layers integrated through decentralized infrastructure.

Key Challenges
Eliminating fake profiles without compromising privacy
Traditional platforms often require centralized identity verification, which creates privacy concerns and risks of sensitive data leakage. At the same time, weak verification systems lead to fake accounts and trust issues.
Building trust in decentralized matchmaking
Creating a trustworthy matchmaking environment on decentralized infrastructure is difficult because users need assurance that interactions are genuine while maintaining anonymity.
Integrating zero-knowledge verification into user flows
Zero-knowledge systems can introduce technical complexity and friction during onboarding. Designing a smooth user experience while maintaining strong cryptographic verification is a major engineering challenge.
Managing smart contract interactions efficiently
Blockchain transactions can introduce latency, gas fees, and transaction management complexities that negatively affect real-time user interactions.
Ensuring secure cross-layer communication
The platform requires secure communication between frontend applications, backend APIs, wallet systems, and blockchain smart contracts while preventing tampering or unauthorized access.
Our Solution
Privacy-first identity verification
The platform implemented zero-knowledge proof-based verification systems that validate user authenticity without exposing personal information publicly. This significantly reduces privacy risks while improving trust.
Blockchain-Based Trust Infrastructure
Smart contracts were used to create immutable and transparent verification workflows. This ensures that verification records cannot be altered or manipulated after validation.
Modular backend architecture
The system was divided into separate modules for APIs, verification systems, EVM backend logic, and onboarding flows. This modular structure improves maintainability and scalability.
Decentralized verification using scroll network
Deploying contracts on Scroll’s Sepolia testnet enabled efficient EVM compatibility while supporting decentralized identity workflows and lower-cost experimentation.
Simplified user experience for complex Web3 workflows
The frontend abstracts blockchain operations and cryptographic complexity, allowing users to interact with the platform without requiring deep Web3 knowledge.
The Result
Improved user trust
The integration of cryptographic identity verification significantly reduces fake profiles and improves confidence in user authenticity.
Stronger privacy protection
Zero-knowledge verification mechanisms enable secure authentication without storing or exposing sensitive identity information directly.
Scalable modular architecture
The separation between frontend, API services, verification systems, and blockchain layers allows the platform to scale and evolve independently.
Foundation for decentralized social platforms
The project demonstrates how blockchain infrastructure and privacy-preserving verification systems can power next-generation social and matchmaking applications.
