# Fairway Developer Docs

## Fairway Docs Content

- [Getting Started with the Fairway](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/readme.md)
- [What is Fairway?](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/readme/what-is-fairway.md)
- [Quickstart (Cardano, EVM)](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/readme/quickstart-cardano-evm.md)
- [Sandbox & Test Credentials](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/readme/sandbox-and-test-credentials.md)
- [🔍 Core Concepts](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/core-concepts.md)
- [Identity Proofs (Cardano)](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/core-concepts/identity-proofs-cardano.md): Here we explain how Fairway encodes KYC/AML eligibility on Cardano using a single UTXO with a Merkle root, Fairway signature, a verification timestamp, and a reference to a Midnight proof UTXO.
- [Identity Proofs (EVM)](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/core-concepts/identity-proofs-evm.md): How we represent KYC/AML eligibility on EVM networks using attestation-led identity proofs with EAS + PolicyEngine, separating long-term KYC verification timestamps from short-term sanctions epochs.
- [Zero-Knowledge Proofs (Midnight)](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/core-concepts/zero-knowledge-proofs-midnight.md): This shows how the Fairway Cloud Agent transforms off-chain KYC data into a Midnight ZK-proof, records it on Midnight, and enables cross-chain eligibility checks on Cardano and EVM.
- [Decentralized Vaults](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/core-concepts/decentralized-vaults.md): Fairway Vaults are off-chain, decentralized storage environments for KYC/AML data. They ensure compliance with FATF standards and GDPR/eIDAS while enabling privacy-preserving, proofs of compliance.
- [Cloud agents as a Witness](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/core-concepts/cloud-agents-as-a-witness.md): Explain how the Fairway Cloud Agent orchestrates off-chain compliance logic; reading KYC data, preparing witness inputs for the Midnight Compact circuit, and publishing the resulting proofs.
- [Trust Registries](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/core-concepts/trust-registries.md): Trust registries define which issuers and keys are authorized to issue compliance proofs, enabling multi-issuer ecosystems and key rotation.
- [Revocation Epochs & Freshness](https://docs.fairway.global/developers/core-concepts/revocation-epochs-and-freshness.md): Fairway separates long-term KYC from short-term sanctions monitoring. KYC proofs include the time of verification; protocols enforce their own acceptance windows and checking latest sanctions epoch.

- [Compliance and risk management Guides](https://docs.fairway.global/learn/compliance-and-risk-management-guides.md)
- [Compliance Bridge: Trust for Institutional DeFi](https://docs.fairway.global/learn/compliance-and-risk-management-guides/compliance-bridge-trust-for-institutional-defi.md): Trust, not tech, is the barrier. Fairway’s compliance bridge uses KYC vaults, ZK proofs, and identity tokens to unlock safe institutional DeFi.
- [Risk management as Code - Making Rules Programmable in DeFi](https://docs.fairway.global/learn/compliance-and-risk-management-guides/risk-management-as-code-making-rules-programmable-in-defi.md): TradFi compliance officers rely on manuals, memos, and human interpretation. DeFi can do better; Turn risk policies into executable code.
- [Privacy vs. Regulation, The False Choice](https://docs.fairway.global/learn/compliance-and-risk-management-guides/privacy-vs.-regulation-the-false-choice.md): Too often, builders think: either expose all PII for compliance or keep everything private. That’s a false choice.
- [Sanctions in Real Time: Why Revocation Matters?](https://docs.fairway.global/learn/compliance-and-risk-management-guides/sanctions-in-real-time-why-revocation-matters.md): Static KYC is dangerous. If a wallet passes KYC in 2023 but gets sanctioned in 2024, protocols without revocation are exposed.
- [The Compliance Moat: Turning Regulation into a Competitive Edge](https://docs.fairway.global/learn/compliance-and-risk-management-guides/the-compliance-moat-turning-regulation-into-a-competitive-edge.md): In Institutional DeFi, compliance is not defense but a moat. With trust registries, ZK identity tokens, and SDKs, protocols turn regulation into an advantage.
