Parfin’s Ethereum Layer-2 chain, Rayls, was recently featured in JP Morgan’s blockchain-focused business unit’s Project EPIC, highlighting the network’s secure and compliant identity solutions to address privacy needs in regulated financial markets.

Parfin’s Ethereum L2 Blockchain Privacy Solutions

JP Morgan’s Kinexys Digital Assets (KDA), the firm’s blockchain business unit, showcased the United Finance (UniFi) blockchain ecosystem Rayls in its Project EPIC report. The report explores privacy and identity solutions in an institutional landscape, aiming to “articulate the challenges and opportunities in this space and to catalyze industry-wide dialogue and action.”

To achieve this, KDA’s team conducted a Proof of Concept (POC) initiative, focusing on four objectives: validate institutional needs around privacy and identity, identify criteria required for a scalable identity solution, explore the viability of nascent privacy solutions in the market today, and bring together institutional & web3-native worlds to find a viable path forward.

As a result of this POC, the report noted Parfin’s Ethereum L2 privacy solution. Rayls aims to provide a comprehensive system that “empowers banks to transact privately and with confidence” by integrating privacy, security, and governance.

KDA highlighted Rayl’s privacy ledgers, which protected “sensitive data on-premise, with end-to-end encryption and Merkle root attestations enabling confidential interactions.” The report details that the privacy ledgers are connected through a decentralized blockchain called “commit chain,” a shared blockchain for privacy ledgers to communicate encrypted messages.

This allowed each entity to run its own privacy ledger on-premise and interact with others through the atomic transport protocol, which reportedly ensured cross-chain asset transfer correctly “while privacy ledgers maintained independent, confidential records within the network.”

Rayl’s regulatory compliance was also underscored, as it integrated with anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-client (KYC), and suitability frameworks through attestation services, “ensuring trust and meeting institutional requirements.”

The Need For Identity And Privacy Solutions

According to the report, the billionaire asset tokenization market is poised for exponential growth and is expected to hit a multi-trillion valuation in the future. However, it highlights the need to address institutional-grade privacy and develop composable, privacy-representative identity solutions to further develop the industry.

KDA argues that the absence of standardized approaches and infrastructure among market intermediaries for identity verification and compliance creates “significant inefficiencies in asset interactions.”

Moreover, the lack of standardization often leads to redundant processes that fail to deliver the operational benefits that tokenization promises:

Without these foundational elements, the industry’s expansion will remain constrained, particularly in attracting traditional investors who expect robust data protection comparable to conventional markets.

The report brought some scalability considerations of the Ethereum L2 project, noting that a privacy pool approach using ZKPs instead of Merkle root attestations would provide more flexibility to Rayl’s privacy solution. The underlying throughput of the commit chain was also underscored, as it is a “crucial factor for the scaling of our system.”

Rayls seeks to “bridge the gap between Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Traditional Finance (TradFi)” by supporting banks and other financial entities globally navigating digital asset management’s complexities.

Ultimately, Marcos Viriato, Co-founder and CEO of Parfin considers that “Rayls represents a paradigm shift in the way banks can securely and efficiently transact,” adding that the financial technology company is “looking forward to further developing solutions that contribute to the future of banking.”
