zkPass is making waves in the crypto space with its innovative approach to data verification, and now it's gearing up for a token sale that's set to redefine how we think about fair participation in fundraising events. On October 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM UTC, zkPass will launch its public sale on Kaito AI's Capital Launchpad. This isn't your typical token drop—it's designed for those who can prove they're real users, leveraging zkPass's core technology to combat bots and ensure a level playing field.

At the heart of zkPass is zkTLS, a zero-knowledge proof system that lets users generate cryptographic proofs from their private web data without revealing personal information. Think of it as a secure bridge between your everyday internet activities—like your Duolingo streaks, LinkedIn profile, or even centralized exchange (CEX) history—and blockchain applications. This technology turns over a billion web sources into verifiable, portable data points, all while keeping your privacy intact.

The sale itself comes with some impressive specs: a $100 million fully diluted valuation (FDV), targeting a $2 million raise, and a vesting schedule of 50% unlock at token generation event (TGE) in December 2025, with the remaining 50% after three months. It's a step down from their previous $200 million FDV round, backed by big names like YZi Labs, OKX Ventures, and dao5. The max offering caps at 4% of total supply, with allocations ranging from $1,000 to $250,000. Notably, it's open to eligible investors in the US, EU, and other permitted jurisdictions.

What sets this apart is the optional Verifiable Reputation Score (VRS). Participants can boost their allocation priority by creating zero-knowledge proofs of their internet footprints—from platforms like Reddit, Uber, or flight miles—without exposing any sensitive details. Head over to the zkPass portal to generate your VRS. Even if you skip this step, you're still welcome to join the sale, but verifying could give you an edge in an oversubscribed event.

Kaito AI is reserving at least 30% of allocations for its community, including top Yaps accounts, Yapybaras, and KAITO stakers. This community focus, combined with zkPass's anti-bot measures, promises a more transparent and equitable process. The protocol's open architecture leaves no room for insider tricks, as everything is verifiable on-chain.

A word of caution from zkPass: stay vigilant against scams and misinformation. Always verify sources before engaging—after all, in a verifiable internet, authenticity is key.

This sale highlights how zkPass is pushing the boundaries of blockchain utility, turning personal data into a powerful, privacy-preserving asset. If you're into crypto oracles, zero-knowledge tech, or just fairer fundraising, this is one to watch. Keep an eye on Kaito AI and zkPass for updates, and make sure your account is set up if you're planning to participate.
