Concordium Launches Zero-Knowledge ID Application for Privacy-Preserving Age Verification

• Concordium ID satisfies the increasing need for online age verification without requiring users to divulge private information.
• The application, which was developed using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), offers a single, encrypted ID that can be used to verify age throughout the web.

A next-generation identity verification application, Concordium ID, has been launched by PayFi-blockchain Concordium. Concordium ID, which was created to facilitate secure age verification, allows users to demonstrate their age without disclosing any personal information.

Concordium ID satisfies the increasing need for online age verification without requiring users to divulge private information and maintain it across many platforms. By doing this, digital companies may provide age-appropriate material without jeopardizing user privacy or depending on dubious self-declaration techniques.

The application, which was developed using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), offers a single, encrypted ID that can be used to verify age throughout the web. It creates a scalable, safe, and decentralized way to measure access to age-based services, content, and community features.

Concordium ID, which is accessible on iPhone and Android via a specific app, may be used to quickly create a Concordium account that is utilized for online age verification. The application’s smooth integration with the well-known Coin98 and Safle wallets has facilitated its introduction by enabling users to utilize Concordium ID to verify and pay for online goods and services.

Concordium CEO Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki said:

“The truth is that the web has never had a viable age verification system, resulting in piecemeal solutions that are ineffective at best and a privacy risk at worst. With Coin98 and Safle as just the first step, we’re opening the gate to a pipeline of integrations that will put privacy-preserving verification in reach of hundreds of millions of users worldwide.”

Thanh Le, Coin98 CEO, said:

“By integrating Concordium ID, we can offer privacy-preserving age checks across dApps, games, and payments to over 10 million Coin98 users from 170+ countries. It’s wallet-agnostic and developer-friendly, unlocking new categories of compliant, age-appropriate services.”

Concordium ID’s debut coincides with an increase in age-based content filtering, including initiatives by the UK and Europe to shield children from adult material. However, there is actual evidence that governments and IT companies have had difficulty putting in place mechanisms that balance privacy and safety. By enabling users to verify their identity and age without having to keep personal information on many platforms, Concordium ID offers the best of both worlds.

Concordium ID not only supports age verification but also has a wide range of applications across Web2 and Web3 services, allowing providers to stay in compliance without having to keep client information or use expensive verification tools. Concordium ID’s wallet-agnostic architecture makes it simple for Web3 enterprises to include it into dApps and protocols using the SDK. This enables it to provide customers with the privacy they anticipate via zero-knowledge proofs while supporting PayFi and other identity-verification services.

Concordium is a scalable Layer 1 blockchain that uses zero-knowledge proof technology to allow verified and private user interactions by providing a unique identity layer at the protocol level. Established in 2018, the research-backed chain makes Smart Money possible with programmable protocol-level tokens, sophisticated PayFi features like compliance controls and time releases, and safe ID-based geofencing for international transactions. As such, it is the preferred chain for enterprise-ready stablecoins seeking practical implementation while complying with new regulatory frameworks.
