Bringing together zero-knowledge data infrastructure and end-to-end compliance to support Vietnam’s emerging crypto licensing regime

Orochi Network, a verifiable data infrastructure built on zero-knowledge proof technology and Sumsub, an AI-powered trust infrastructure for compliance, today announced a strategic partnership to help Web3 and digital-asset businesses across Southeast Asia become compliance-ready as Vietnam establishes its licensing framework for crypto assets.

Vietnam is among the world’s most active retail crypto markets and is now moving from regulatory ambiguity to a defined licensing framework. As the market formalizes, demand is growing for end-to-end infrastructure that supports both compliance and innovation. 

Orochi Network, an official advisor to the city of Da Nang on its international financial centre initiative and technology solutions, sits at the intersection of Web3 builders and policymakers. Through the partnership, its ecosystem gains access to Sumsub’s AI-powered trust infrastructure, which unifies identity and business verification, fraud prevention, ongoing monitoring, risk management, and Travel Rule compliance in a single layer. Covering more than 220 countries and territories, Sumsub’s platform continuously adapts to evolving regulatory requirements, enabling businesses to scale securely across jurisdictions.

The partnership combines Sumsub’s compliance infrastructure with Orochi’s verifiable data layer, bringing together verification and privacy-preserving technology for regulated markets. Sumsub contributes the verification and compliance engine required by regulated markets, including the industry’s largest Travel Rule directory of over 2,100 virtual asset service providers (VASPs). Orochi contributes zkDatabase, a verifiable database that proves data correct cryptographically without exposing underlying information.

“Compliance and privacy have too often been treated as a trade-off. They shouldn’t be,” said Mary Tran, CEO of Orochi Network. “Sumsub is the global benchmark for verification, and Southeast Asia is opening up under real regulatory frameworks. Together we give builders here a credible path into licensed markets with cryptographic proof behind it.”

“Vietnam is entering a pivotal phase as it formalizes its approach to digital asset regulation, and businesses need a trusted compliance infrastructure that can keep pace with both local requirements and global standards,” said Penny Chai, Vice President, APAC at Sumsub. “Through our partnership with Orochi Network, we are combining AI-powered verification and compliance capabilities with privacy-preserving data innovation, enabling companies to scale confidently while meeting regulatory expectations across Southeast Asia and beyond.” 

The partnership will initially focus on go-to-market support for projects preparing for licensing in Vietnam, alongside regional education on regulatory readiness. Building on this foundation, both teams are working toward technical integration between Sumsub’s verification workflows and Orochi’s verifiable, privacy-preserving data layer, with the objective of making compliance both auditable and secure for businesses entering regulated markets.
