Orochi Network and Sumsub are forming a strategic partnership to support exchanges, issuers, and service providers preparing for Vietnam's licensed market, combining Sumsub's AI-powered trust infrastructure with Orochi's regional reach and verifiable, privacy-preserving data infrastructure.
Orochi Network is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Sumsub to help Web3 and digital-asset businesses across Southeast Asia become compliance-ready as Vietnam establishes its licensing framework for crypto assets.
A Gateway into Vietnam's Licensed Market
The move continues Sumsub's expansion into new markets. Since 2015, Sumsub has grown into the first AI-powered trust infrastructure used by more than 4,000 clients worldwide, unifying 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.
Vietnam is among the next frontiers: one of the world's most active retail crypto markets, now moving from regulatory ambiguity to a defined licensing regime. As the market formalizes, demand is growing for end-to-end infrastructure that supports both compliance and innovation.
Orochi Network provides the gateway, as an official advisor to the city of Da Nang on Vietnam's international financial centre and its technology solutions. Orochi sits at the intersection of the region's Web3 builders and the government bodies shaping its rules, with reach across an ecosystem of projects, exchanges and issuers preparing to enter the licensed market. Through the partnership, that ecosystem gains direct access to Sumsub's compliance infrastructure, tailored to digital asset operations across jurisdictions.
The Partnership Connects Two Complementary Layers
Sumsub contributes the verification and compliance engine regulated markets require, including the industry's largest Travel Rule directory of over 2,100 virtual asset service providers (VASPs), enabling secure and compliant transfer of originator and beneficiary information across borders.
Orochi contributes zkDatabase, a verifiable database powered by Zero-Knowledge Proofs. It makes data operations cryptographically verifiable without exposing sensitive underlying information, creating a privacy-preserving data layer alongside Sumsub's established platform.
Together, the two layers create a path for projects to retain auditable compliance evidence while limiting unnecessary movement of identity and transaction data. Verification workflows establish that required checks have been completed; Verifiable Data gives authorized parties a way to validate selected data states without receiving the full underlying dataset.
"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."
"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."
From Market Readiness to Technical Integration
The partnership will initially focus on go-to-market support for projects preparing for licensing in Vietnam, together with regional education on regulatory readiness.
Both teams are also working toward a technical integration between Sumsub's verification workflows and Orochi's verifiable, privacy-preserving data layer. The objective is to make compliance evidence auditable while protecting the sensitive information behind it, giving projects stronger infrastructure as they enter regulated markets.
