Dflow Proof Kyc

DFlow Proof

Proof is DFlow's identity-verification primitive for Solana wallets. Stripe Identity verifies the person once; Proof links that verified identity to one or more wallet addresses. Builders query a public endpoint to check status.

Use Proof to self-gate your own app — any product that needs identity-based KYC (jurisdiction-gated DeFi, regulated token sales, identity-attested access, etc.) can use Proof as a ready-made primitive.

Prerequisites

• DFlow docs MCP (https://pond.dflow.net/mcp) — install per the repo README. This skill is the recipe; the MCP is the reference. Look up the deep-link signing code, the full parameter list, and user-journey diagrams via search_d_flow / query_docs_filesystem_d_flow — don't guess.

Self-gating your own app

Use this when you need KYC for your own app.

Check verification status

GET https://proof.dflow.net/verify/{address} → { "verified": boolean }. Public, no auth. Use it to gate features, to decide whether to show a "Verify me" CTA, or to short-circuit a restricted action.

Redirect the user to verify (deep link)

If the wallet isn't verified, redirect the user to Proof's hosted flow. The deep link carries a signed ownership proof so Proof can link the wallet to the verified identity automatically:

• URL: https://dflow.net/proof?wallet=<addr>&signature=<sig>&timestamp=<ms>&redirect_uri=<url>
• Optional: email, projectId.
• Signature: user signs the exact message Proof KYC verification: {timestamp} (Unix ms, 13 digits) with their wallet; base58-encode the bytes.
• Full signing snippet and parameter table → docs MCP, or read directly: /proof/partner-integration.

Handle the return

User lands back on your redirect_uri. Re-query /verify/{address} to confirm status. If verified: true, proceed; otherwise, surface an appropriate "verification pending / failed" message.

Embedded wallets (Privy, Turnkey, …)

Proof leans on exactly one wallet capability: signing the ownership message. Any wallet that exposes

signMessage: (message: Uint8Array) => Promise<Uint8Array>

drives the deep-link flow unchanged — embedded-wallet SDKs (Privy, Turnkey, etc.) expose this the same as Phantom/Solflare, so there's no separate Proof path for embedded wallets.

• Status checks need no wallet. GET /verify/{address} is public and takes only the address, so the gate/CTA logic is identical no matter how the wallet is custodied.
• Generating the ownership signature is the only place the wallet is involved. Build Proof KYC verification: {timestamp} (Unix ms, 13 digits), UTF-8-encode, sign the raw bytes with the provider's signer, then base58-encode the result and pass it as signature on the deep link:

import bs58 from "bs58";
const timestamp = Date.now();                                   // Unix ms, 13 digits
const messageBytes = new TextEncoder().encode(`Proof KYC verification: ${timestamp}`);
const signatureBytes = await wallet.signMessage(messageBytes);  // Privy / Turnkey embedded signer
const signature = bs58.encode(signatureBytes);                  // base58 — NOT hex, NOT JSON.stringify
// → build https://dflow.net/proof?wallet=<pubkey>&signature=<signature>&timestamp=<timestamp>&redirect_uri=<url>

• The one prerequisite to check: the provider must expose raw message signing over bytes. If the SDK only signs transactions (no signMessage), it can't produce the ownership proof — confirm that before wiring Proof to an embedded-wallet provider.

What to ASK the user (and what NOT to ask)

Ask if missing:

1. Wallet pubkey — the address to verify / check.
2. App's callback URL (redirect_uri) — where Proof sends the user after verification.
3. Web or native mobile — changes the redirect_uri guidance (universal / app links for mobile; see Gotchas).

Do NOT ask about:

• API key — /verify/{address} is public, no auth. Proof itself has no API key concept.

Gotchas (the docs MCP won't volunteer these)

• Proof is not required for DFlow spot swaps. Don't state "all DFlow trades need KYC" — they don't.
• Proof doesn't verify age. Stripe Identity captures name, address, email, and government-issued ID, but Proof does not currently check or expose date-of-birth. Don't use Proof for age gating — you won't get what you need.
• Enforced on both dev and prod. Many agents assume dev is unprotected; it isn't.
• Redirect URI scheme restrictions. Proof only redirects to https:, chrome-extension:, and moz-extension: URLs. Custom schemes (myapp://callback) fail silently — no redirect, no error. Native mobile → universal links (iOS) / app links (Android), which are https: URLs that deep-link into the app.
• The public endpoint is booleanized. /verify/{address} returns { verified: true | false }. There's no pending / failed / unverified distinction — everything non-verified collapses to false. If you need those states for UX, infer them from your own session state (did the user come back from Proof?), not from the public check.
• Cache true, not false. Once verified, a wallet stays verified; caching avoids repeated checks. But unverified is volatile — never cache it, because it flips the moment the user completes the flow.
• For self-gating your own app, verify server-side. If your backend is the thing enforcing a KYC-gated feature, don't trust a client's cached status. Re-query /verify/{address} from your backend before unlocking the gated action.
• Embedded wallets work. Privy, Turnkey, etc. — the only requirement is raw signMessage over bytes. See Embedded wallets above for the signing snippet; there's no separate Proof path for them.
• One verified identity → unlimited wallets. No cap. A user who verified on wallet A can link wallet B, C, D, and onward without re-doing ID + liveness — just a fresh ownership signature from each new wallet.
• Free + Stripe Identity under the hood. No fee to builders or users. Users complete Stripe's document + liveness flow.
• Proof is not geoblocking. KYC ≠ jurisdictional restriction; they are separate concerns.

When something doesn't fit

Defer to the docs MCP for full reference — specifically:

• /proof/introduction — top-level Proof overview: when to use it, the identity-graph model, and what gets verified.
• /proof/partner-integration — deep-link code (signature generation, URL building), caching sample, handling edge cases (signature expiration, user cancellation, network errors), security guidance, and redirect-scheme debugging (#deep-link-parameters).
• /proof/user-journeys — diagrams for new-direct, new-from-partner, and returning-user flows.
• /resources/proof-api/verify-address — the single public endpoint's reference.
