Galactica Network operates as a Layer 2 blockchain constructed using the Arbitrum Orbit SDK. Its primary goal is to supply the essential infrastructure for identity and reputation systems that prioritize both compliance and privacy within decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized society (DeSoc), and real-world asset (RWA) sectors.

The project utilizes Arbitrum’s scalable and secure L2 framework while implementing its own Identity Virtual Machine (IVM). This execution environment is specifically created to support zkKYC and programmable compliance across different chains.

Key elements of Galactica consist of:

• ZK Certificates These are non-transferable, on-chain attestations, such as zkKYC, which confirm zero-knowledge proofs regarding off-chain details like accreditation, jurisdiction, or age. They validate this data without exposing the actual information, relying on trusted Guardians for issuance and verification.

• Reputation Engine (Soul Scores) This system processes on-chain and off-chain signals to generate customizable reputation metrics. It facilitates trustless credit scoring, airdrop eligibility, and governance weighting, all while maintaining user privacy.

• Contingent Transactions Smart contracts can incorporate dynamic checks for identity and compliance. For instance, execution may be restricted until it is verified that a user meets specific criteria, such as being over 18, located in an allowed region, or holding a minimum reputation score.
