Netki is a digital identity company focused on providing compliance solutions for the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. Founded by Justin Newton, a veteran of the early internet era who previously co-founded NetZero, the company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Netki builds tools that help cryptocurrency businesses meet Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulatory requirements.

The company's flagship product, OnboardID, is a mobile identity verification platform that uses document scanning, biometric checks, and liveness detection to onboard users for cryptocurrency exchanges, wallet providers, and other digital asset services. Netki's technology is designed to work across jurisdictions, supporting identity verification for businesses operating in multiple countries with varying regulatory frameworks.

Netki was an early contributor to the development of digital identity standards for cryptocurrency, including work on the BIP-75 payment protocol extension and the Travel Rule compliance requirements established by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The company has positioned itself as infrastructure for helping the crypto industry meet the same compliance standards expected of traditional financial services.
