About vlayer
vlayer is a verifiable data infrastructure that brings real-world web data onto the blockchain. Its core business focuses on proving that data from websites, emails, and APIs is authentic and untampered with, using cryptographic methods like TLSNotary and zero-knowledge proofs.
The main problem it solves is the 'oracle problem' in blockchain: smart contracts cannot natively access or verify off-chain data. vlayer enables developers to create 'Web Proofs' that cryptographically attest to the authenticity of web data, allowing smart contracts to trust and use this data without intermediaries.
In the past six months (March to September 2026), vlayer has focused on expanding its developer tools and documentation, making it easier for projects to integrate Web Proofs. The company has also highlighted partnerships with platforms in DeFi and digital asset management, showcasing use cases like proof of reserves and automated compliance. No major negative events were reported during this period.
Founded in 2023, vlayer focuses on verifiable data infrastructure. In November 2024, it raised a $10 million pre-seed round with participation from a16z CSX, Credo Ventures, BlockTower Capital, and others. On May 14, 2025, vlayer officially launched its mainnet, introducing four smart contract features: Time Travel, Teleport, Email Proofs (ZK Email), and Web Proofs (zkTLS), enabling developers to integrate real-world data into Ethereum contracts. These milestones mark its evolution from a startup to a live protocol.
Over the past six months (2026-03-01 to 2026-09-01), vlayer has made significant strides in expanding its verifiable data infrastructure. Key developments include:
Midas Partnership: vlayer integrated its proof infrastructure into Midas's attestation engine, enabling cryptographically verifiable on-chain attestations for asset management communications. This allows investors to verify fund manager authenticity, portfolio changes, and asset ownership without relying on screenshots or manual review.
Unigox Integration: vlayer powered Unigox's peer-to-peer crypto-fiat exchange with Web Proofs, enabling automatic on-chain escrow release after verifying real bank transfers. This eliminates counterparty trust and manual confirmation, marking a major step toward trustless fiat-crypto settlement.
Glider Collaboration: vlayer launched Web Proofs with Glider for social account verification and a Verifiable Badge Program. Users can prove trading activity (e.g., $25+ volume) without exposing sensitive data, showcasing privacy-preserving credentialing.
TEE Infrastructure Milestone: vlayer completed core development of its TEE-based notary infrastructure (in collaboration with Livy Labs), combining TLSNotary with Intel TDX. This ensures execution integrity alongside data integrity, with only ~6% latency overhead. The system now supports hardware-backed remote attestation, making proofs verifiable without trusting vlayer or operators.
Future Focus: vlayer aims to scale Web Proofs across more verticals (DeFi, compliance, identity) and establish itself as the standard trust layer for real-world data. The roadmap includes expanding TEE-based notary deployments, enhancing cross-chain attestation composability, and growing the Verifiable Badge ecosystem.
