2025 was the year we took everything we’d learned building Verity zkTLS and turned it into something real for DeFi and FX orchestrators.
2025 Highlights
Q1
- We kept pushing our zkTLS research and applied it in partner projects.
- In March, we joined the Outlier Accelerator and got backing from Arbitrum – aimed straight at our own zkTLS use in DeFi.
- The goal: cut costs for on-chain foreign exchange using stablecoins. Blockchains should already be making a real difference here.
Q2
- We hit the road and met professional market makers in person in Paris, Dubai, and other cities.
- Those chats answered the big question: “Why aren’t you active on DEXs?”
- The answers gave us the insight we needed.
Fiet took shape – a professional market-making platform for stablecoin FX. Traders securely tap into real institutional liquidity for new and unique tokens supported by market makers, now at much lower costs.
Q3
- We earned audit support and backing from the Uniswap Foundation.
- Building Fiet is no walk in the park – it took serious work to create a system that lets market makers use verified off-chain reserves (proved with zkTLS) to facilitate deep markets on AMMs like Uniswap.
Q4
- At DevConnect 2025 in Buenos Aires, we shared our research, pitched Fiet, and connected with builders, VCs, and future partners.
- Ryan gave a technical talk on the zkTLS advances that open the door to real-world data-driven DeFi apps.

Looking Ahead to 2026
1) We’re focusing fully on Fiet.
That said, our Verity zkTLS stack for building fast, private oracles is essential to Fiet, so we’re still open to supporting and collaborating with select teams who want to push zkTLS further. Fiet relies on Verity zkTLS in these key areas – maybe your project could too:
- High-frequency proof generation for continuous data checks
- zkRollup of TLS attestations for privacy-preserving compute over real-world data
- Verification that works on any blockchain environment
2) Fiet rollout begins internally and with selected partners.
- Smart contracts are completing final audits, ready for mainnet deployment on Arbitrum One in Q1 2026.
- The real value for Web3 projects and token issuers: deep, low-cost (or no-cost) markets on Uniswap without needing heavy retail incentives to get started.
We’re excited for what’s next. Jump into our Discord to talk Fiet partnerships, zkTLS ideas, or just follow the Q1 launch: https://go.usher.so/discord
