Zetrix, a blockchain-based platform, has introduced a new identity verification service named ZCert, aimed at enabling the digital authentication of Chinese Digital IDs outside of China. This service is designed to support electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) processes for international entities seeking to verify the identities of Chinese nationals. By integrating with China’s national public blockchain, Xinghuo BIF, ZCert provides an official cross-border digital ID verification solution.
Supported by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and led by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), Xinghuo BIF is a significant initiative by China to develop a national blockchain infrastructure with global applications across various industries and sectors. The blockchain network comprises seven supernodes covering key regions in China and 29 backbone nodes servicing different industries and cities, processing approximately 100 million blockchain identifiers daily.
The ZCert service allows Chinese nationals to publish their Digital IDs on Xinghuo BIF, making the information accessible to verifying entities overseas. Zetrix’s Astron Supernode facilitates this verification process, enabling automated KYC procedures while ensuring that only critical information is shared in an encrypted format. Additionally, ZCert integrates with other digital ID systems, including Malaysia’s National ID and WorldID, utilizing a Web3-based Self-Sovereign Identity framework. This framework allows individuals to share only relevant personal details during verification, thereby maintaining privacy.
This launch follows Zetrix’s previous introduction of a service for verifying Chinese driving licenses abroad. ZCert is expected to expand in the coming months to include the verification of additional documents essential for individuals and businesses. Operated by MY E.G. Services Berhad (MYEG), a Malaysian digital services company, Zetrix’s expansion into cross-border digital ID verification highlights the strategic importance of digital infrastructure in enhancing identity security and facilitating international transactions.
