Transaction Authorization Protocol (TAP)

Transaction Authorization Protocol (TAP) is an open, public domain messaging protocol designed to securely and privately authorize and authenticate financial transactions on public blockchains. TAP connects real-world identities to blockchain transactions, enabling safe, compliant, and user-friendly payments for financial institutions, DeFi platforms, and self-hosted wallets. It supports regulatory compliance, such as the FATF Travel Rule, without compromising user privacy, and replaces confusing blockchain addresses with familiar customer information to improve transaction security and user experience.
