Company profile
researched Aug 2026Sealance Corp is developing the Sealance Trust Platform, a decentralized, blockchain-based system intended to bring a trust layer to cryptocurrencies. The platform is built on applied cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs, marketed as "Sealance Proofs," which the company says verify identities, enforce policy and regulatory compliance, and assure transaction integrity and privacy in real time for every transaction.
According to press coverage of its seed round, the technology augments transactions with supplemental information about an individual's identity while preserving the privacy of both that information and the underlying transaction, and then reasons over that information using zk-SNARKs to automatically enforce regulatory compliance, risk-management policies, transaction reporting obligations and record-keeping on the blockchain. The company states that the platform never takes custody of the currencies involved and never sees, collects or stores personal information, and that it is designed to operate across currencies, exchanges, jurisdictions, businesses, individuals and banks. As of the current version of its website, the company is collecting contact information for an upcoming alpha launch and refers to "Sealance Technology by Forte."
Founding story
The company was founded by Shlomit Azgad-Tromer, Matthew Green and Eran Tromer, combining financial-regulation legal expertise with cryptography research; Green and Tromer are described as founding scientists of the Zcash privacy-preserving currency and authors of seminal zk-SNARK work. One source lists a founding year of 2020.
Business model
Sealance positions itself as an infrastructure and protocol provider for the cryptocurrency industry, offering a policy-enforcement and compliance engine plus identity proofs that other exchanges, protocols and institutions can adopt. The sources do not describe pricing or contract structures.
Traction
Sealance emerged from stealth in October 2022 with a seed round. Its website indicates the product is pre-launch, soliciting contacts for an upcoming alpha. No customer, revenue or usage figures appear in the sources.
Latest developments
The company's website states that "Sealance Technology by Forte will revolutionize Web3 privacy-preserving compliance" and invites sign-ups for an upcoming alpha launch; the site carries a 2025 copyright notice. The sources do not explain the nature of the relationship with Forte.

Market position
Sealance presents itself as addressing the intersection of privacy and regulatory compliance in crypto, an area where its investors describe existing approaches as relying either on traditional identity systems or on blockchain surveillance. The sources contain investor commentary asserting differentiation but no independent market-share or benchmarking data.
The stated differentiators are the combination of identity verification and automated policy enforcement with privacy preservation via zero-knowledge proofs, non-custodial operation, jurisdiction- and currency-neutral enforcement, and a founding team drawn from zk-SNARK and Zcash research.
Technology
The platform is based on advanced mathematics, applied cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs, specifically zk-SNARKs, used to attach identity-related attestations to transactions and to prove that policies, laws and rules have been enforced without revealing underlying personal data. Sealance Proofs operate without taking custody of transacted funds, and the platform is described as not seeing, collecting or storing personal information. Co-founders Matthew Green and Eran Tromer are described as founding scientists of Zcash and authors of foundational zk-SNARK research.
Go-to-market
The company markets through its own website, an investor-testimonial campaign featuring backers and industry figures, media appearances by its founders (CoinDesk, Nasdaq TradeTalks, CNBC, Fortune, FinTech Newscast), and a sign-up list for an upcoming alpha launch. Investor commentary frames adoption as integrating compliant assets into existing lending pools and trading venues rather than creating new venues.
Cryptocurrency and Web3 participants including exchanges, DeFi protocols, institutions and their compliance functions, banks, businesses, regulators and retail users; investor commentary emphasizes enabling institutional participation in DeFi and programmatic management of on-chain identities.
Geography
Headquarters reported as Miami, Florida. Team members' backgrounds span Israel, the United States and Canada, but no office locations beyond Miami are stated.
