The privacy-first protocol for public data
Helix is an open-source protocol for secure, privacy-preserving data exchange and compliance, built on zero-knowledge (zk) cryptography. Our mission: empower citizens, institutions, and the financial industry with transparent, resilient, and privacy-protecting digital infrastructure.
We are a global community of developers, researchers, and policymakers working to build a more secure and private future.
What is Zero-Knowledge (zk)?
Zero-knowledge proofs (zk) are cryptographic techniques that let you prove something is true without revealing the underlying data. In Helix, zk enables privacy-first compliance: institutions can verify tax residency or ownership without ever seeing your private information. End customers stay in control of their data.
