What Sealance Corp. does

Sealance Corp. is a Miami-headquartered, venture-backed infrastructure company building the Sealance Trust Platform, a blockchain-based compliance and identity layer for digital assets. The platform is built on advanced cryptography, including zk-SNARKs and zero-knowledge proofs (marketed as 'Sealance Proofs'), and is designed to verify identities, enforce regulatory and policy compliance, certify transactions, and demonstrate solvency without taking custody of funds or collecting personal information. Core products include the Sealance Trust Platform, Sealance Proofs, and two open-source developer artifacts: a compliance framework for compliant and private stablecoins on the Aleo blockchain, and LionDen, a Hardhat-inspired development framework for Aleo and Leo.

The company serves two primary customer segments: cryptocurrency companies and protocols (DeFi platforms, exchanges, stablecoin issuers) and regulated institutional investors and financial institutions (banks, hedge funds, lending platforms) that need a compliant on-ramp to decentralized finance. Its commercial GTM is consultative enterprise field sales to crypto and financial institutions, supported by a referral network of high-profile crypto venture investors (Galaxy, Ribbit Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Gemini Frontier Fund, a16z, Castle Island Ventures, Anchorage Digital, Fireblocks) and complemented by open-source distribution through Aleo ecosystem integrations (Circle USDCx, Paxos USAD on Aleo mainnet) and a technology-licensing arrangement with Forte.

Revenue is generated through platform licensing of the Sealance Trust Platform to enterprise and protocol customers; pricing is not publicly disclosed and the product is in pre-alpha with waitlist onboarding as of the latest inputs. Sealance raised an undisclosed seed round in October 2022 co-led by Galaxy and Ribbit Capital, and as of the available data has no disclosed ARR or paying customers.

Core offering

Sealance is building a decentralized, blockchain-based trust platform for the cryptocurrency industry that uses advanced mathematics, cryptography, and zero-knowledge proofs to ensure privacy, verify crypto identities, enforce compliance policies and laws, and certify transactions. The platform enables compliant, privacy-preserving crypto activities across currencies, jurisdictions, and institutions without taking custody of funds or collecting personal information. Sealance also offers open-source developer tools including a compliance framework for the Aleo blockchain and a Hardhat-inspired development framework.

Product overview

Sealance Corp. offers a single unified core product: the Sealance Trust Platform, a blockchain-based platform for the cryptocurrency industry. This platform is powered by Sealance Proofs, which use zero-knowledge proofs to deliver privacy-preserving compliance functionality. The platform also includes open source developer tools: LionDen (a Hardhat-inspired development framework for Aleo and Leo) and Compliant and Private Stablecoins (an open source compliance solution for the Aleo blockchain). The Sealance Proofs component verifies identities, enforces compliance policies, and assures transaction privacy without taking custody of user funds.

Products and services

• Sealance Trust Platform A decentralized, blockchain-based trust platform for the cryptocurrency industry that ensures privacy, verifies crypto identities, enforces compliance policies and laws, certifies transactions, and enables compliant, privacy-preserving crypto activities. Targeted at cryptocurrency companies, protocols, and regulated financial institutions.
• Sealance Technology by Forte Sealance's privacy-preserving compliance technology integrated with Forte's platform for Web3 applications, distributed through Forte at forte.io/developers/zk/. Enables identity verification, policy enforcement, and transaction integrity using zero-knowledge proofs.
• Compliant and Private Stablecoins on Aleo Open source compliance framework for the Aleo blockchain that addresses regulatory compliance gaps in privacy-focused chains by selectively generating compliance records based on configurable conditions (e.g., daily transaction volume thresholds, timelock requirements) while maintaining token transfer privacy by default. Used by stablecoin issuers such as Circle and Paxos.
• LionDen Development Framework Developer framework for Aleo and Leo blockchain platforms that combines testing, deployment, TypeScript code generation, code verification, and devnode/HTTP network tooling for end-to-end smart contract development workflows. Targeted at developers building on the Aleo ecosystem.

Quantifiable outcome

• Enables institutions to participate in DeFi in ways they couldn't before, gaining operational privacy and clarity on compliance with fiduciary obligations

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered major.

• Paxos (USAD on Aleo)majorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 February 2026Sealance's compliance framework for Aleo was used in USAD, a compliant stablecoin by Paxos, which went live on Aleo mainnet in February 2026. This demonstrates production deployment of Sealance's compliance technology in a regulated stablecoin context.
• Forte (Sealance Technology)majorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 October 2022Forte is building 'Sealance Technology' based on Sealance's platform, as referenced on Sealance's homepage. Forte is a blockchain gaming and platform company. Sealance Technology is listed at forte.io/developers/zk/. This represents a technology licensing/partnership arrangement where Forte builds on Sealance's core technology.
• Circle (USDCx on Aleo)majorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2022Sealance's compliance technology for Aleo blockchain was used in USDCx, a compliant and private implementation of USDC developed by Circle and deployed on Aleo testnet via Circle XReserve. This represents a direct product integration of Sealance's compliance framework into a major stablecoin issuer's product.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• TRM Labs: Blockchain intelligence and crypto compliance platform providing AML, fraud detection, and investigations tools for institutions. Competes for the same institutional crypto-compliance budget but with traditional surveillance rather than ZK proofs.
• Chainalysis: Leading blockchain analytics, compliance, and forensics platform used by regulators, exchanges, and financial institutions. A broad incumbent addressing crypto compliance and KYC/AML with a surveillance-based approach rather than Sealance's privacy-preserving methodology.

Direct peers

• Aztec Network: Privacy-focused Ethereum L2 using zk-SNARKs to enable private smart contracts and programmable privacy. Competes with Sealance in the privacy-preserving transaction layer for institutional DeFi, with overlapping zero-knowledge compliance tooling ambitions.
• RAILGUN: A decentralized privacy and compliance protocol using zero-knowledge proofs to enable private DeFi transactions with optional selective disclosure. Directly comparable to Sealance's ZK-based compliance approach and overlaps in cryptographic primitives (Sealance's engineer Hisham Galal was formerly at RAILGUN).

Others

• Fireblocks: Institutional digital asset custody and operations platform. While Sealance's CEO Michael Shaulov is an investor, Fireblocks is comparable as an enabling infrastructure provider serving the same institutional crypto customers Sealance targets with compliance tooling.
• Symbiont: Institutional blockchain infrastructure platform for issuance and settlement of private securities. Comparable as a crypto infrastructure peer; Sealance's cryptography architect Alexey Gribov previously worked at Symbiont, illustrating shared DNA in serving regulated institutions.

Emerging players

• Aleo: Privacy-focused Layer-1 blockchain using zero-knowledge proofs. Sealance is currently deeply integrated with Aleo (LionDen, Compliant Transfer, USAD) and Aleo's native privacy features overlap with Sealance's positioning, making it both a partner and a competitor.
• Polygon ID: Decentralized identity and verifiable credential solution from Polygon using zero-knowledge proofs for KYC and credential verification. Comparable to Sealance in the DID/KYC reuse for finance vertical and overlapping in ZK-based identity infrastructure.
• Sismo: ZK-based decentralized identity and reputation protocol that issues attestations (zkBadges) without revealing underlying data. Directly comparable to Sealance's privacy-preserving credential and on-chain identity use cases.
• Worldcoin (Tools for Humanity): Identity and credential network using zero-knowledge proofs and biometric verification to prove personhood. Comparable to Sealance in using ZK for identity verification, though focused on human uniqueness rather than financial compliance.
