ABOUT GALACTICA

Galactica is an L1 with unique protocol properties. Powered by zero-knowledge cryptography.

Galactica aspires to be the first chain with KYC-contingent transactions. This means that accounts and smart contracts can choose to interact only with other accounts fitting a given profile. This also means that sybil resistance is built directly into the protocol.

Protocol level Sibil-resistance enables persistent web3 identities, which allows for a much richer societal substrate to exist on-chain. We refer to this setup as a Cypher State. In layman terms, a Cypher State is a society with all its intricate links and relations existing and interacting directly on a blockchain.

Among Galactica’s primary value propositions is that of leveraging zkKYC for Sybil resistance thereby enabling meaningful modeling of real-world societal, financial, and political institutions on-chain. An extremely valuable byproduct of this setup is a protocol that enables regulatory-compliant privacy.
