Merkle Science is proud to announce a new partnership with VerifiedX (VFX), a decentralized, open-source network that functions as both a universal Layer 1 and a Bitcoin sidechain. This collaboration will bring Merkle Science’s predictive risk intelligence and investigation tools to VerifiedX’s ecosystem, supporting secure tokenized self-custody, on-chain storage, and peer-to-peer commerce for digital and physical assets.
The VerifiedX Foundation shared that this partnership reflects its commitment to building a transparent and institutionally ready platform. According to VerifiedX, Merkle Science’s compliance suite, featuring tools like Compass and Tracker, meets all the requirements for AML, KYC, and CFT compliance while going beyond the baseline.
“Partnering with Merkle Science was an easy choice for the VerifiedX ecosystem. Merkle Science’s pedigree is unmatched and the advanced product suite such as Tracker and Compass completely check the boxes for KYC, AML, and CFT compliance.”
By embedding Merkle Science’s solutions into its infrastructure, VerifiedX strengthens the compliance foundation of its native assets, including vBTC, while creating a secure environment that appeals to institutions.
VerifiedX was developed to serve global end users by reducing the friction and cost of ownership in areas such as self-custody, tokenization, lending, and peer-to-peer commerce. Its architecture is designed to be modular, with many on-chain tools available as optional features for third parties and institutional users.
Merkle Science helps VerifiedX address real-world challenges in areas such as custody, programmability, and recovery by offering critical infrastructure for compliance and risk management.
“The VerifiedX Foundation was unanimous in partnering with Merkle Science. When looking to activate the institutional community, compliance is just the start. There needs to also be additional tools integrated such as predictive risk, transaction tracing, and monitoring, that act as an additional layer of security for trading and custody. Merkle far exceeds technical expectations as a true tier 1 risk and compliance provider.”
The VerifiedX team emphasized the strength of Merkle Science’s client base and the company’s reputation across the crypto and financial industries.
“You are the company you keep,” a spokesperson for the VerifiedX Foundation said. “And Merkle Science’s clients and partners are unmatched global leaders in their respective categories and serve as the ‘gold standard’ amongst many.”
Beyond technical capabilities, VerifiedX noted Merkle Science’s holistic approach and deep understanding of the full protocol. This level of engagement and insight ensures that VerifiedX is equipped with not just compliance tools, but a full-spectrum risk intelligence framework that supports long-term growth and institutional adoption.
Together, Merkle Science and VerifiedX aim to offer users and institutions a platform where self-custody, transparency, and compliance go hand in hand. With Merkle Science’s behavioral-based risk engine and cross-chain tracing capabilities, VerifiedX is now positioned to deliver a secure and compliant ecosystem for both digital and physical asset transactions.
This partnership reflects Merkle Science’s broader mission to help projects across the crypto landscape build trust and safety into their infrastructure from the ground up.
