zkVerify Partners with Copper to Strengthen Institutional Blockchain Infrastructure

zkVerify has announced a partnership with Copper, a leading provider of digital asset custody, prime services, and collateral management. The collaboration integrates zkVerify’s proof verification layer into Copper’s custody and settlement infrastructure, aiming to enhance transparency and strengthen institutional confidence in digital asset operations.

Accelerating Zero-Knowledge Verification

Built specifically to meet the growing demand for zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology, zkVerify delivers faster, more cost-efficient verification across blockchains, AI networks, and verifiable data systems. As financial institutions increasingly merge traditional and digital finance, the need for trust, compliance, and robust security continues to rise.

Through this partnership, Copper will offer on-chain proof verification for asset custody, movement, and settlement, contributing enterprise-grade infrastructure to zkVerify’s Proof-of-Stake network. This integration reinforces the network’s mainnet reliability and security, setting a new benchmark for institutional-grade blockchain solutions.

Industry Leaders Driving Secure Adoption

Adam VandenBoogaard, Copper’s Head of Revenue – Americas, said the company is proud to serve as zkVerify’s Day-1 custodial partner, noting that zkVerify’s specialized Layer-1 blockchain efficiently verifies zero-knowledge proofs at scale. “Together, we are creating a universal verification layer that supports multiple ecosystems and proof systems,” he added.

The collaboration is positioned to establish a stronger foundation for transparent institutional participation in the rapidly expanding Web3 and blockchain ecosystem.

Laying the Groundwork for Scalable Trust

zkVerify describes itself as the universal verification layer for zero-knowledge proofs, enabling millisecond-fast, cost-efficient, and universally compatible proof verification. Purpose-built for the rise of proofs across blockchain, AI, and verifiable data, zkVerify provides the critical infrastructure for scalable trust in the digital world.

Founded in 2018, Copper.co has become a cornerstone of institutional digital asset infrastructure with a strong focus on custody, collateral management, and connectivity. The Copper Network serves as an institutional gateway to the digital asset ecosystem, offering integrated access to hundreds of market participants through a single platform.

At the heart of Copper’s infrastructure is ClearLoop, its proprietary settlement network, which enables clients to manage collateral and settle trades in near real-time across multiple exchanges—mitigating counterparty risk and improving capital efficiency.

Building the Future of Institutional Blockchain Infrastructure

Together, zkVerify and Copper are advancing the intersection of institutional finance and blockchain technology. By combining enterprise-grade custody with scalable proof verification, the partnership delivers a framework for secure, transparent, and compliant participation in the next generation of decentralized markets.
