This is bigger than it seems: Partnering with @billions_ntwk unlocks zkKYC — but this time, for real. Remember: without guaranteed access to the underlying data, zkKYC doesn’t work. It’s not compliant. No financial institution will use it. Look around — none do today. Because most “zkKYC” solutions either don’t store data at all (and pray someone will still use them) or rely on opaque centralized vaults. Anyone serious about regulation says “no thanks.” Might as well store it centrally if that’s what it boils down to. Now, with a little help from our friends, we’re combining the heavy lift of storage (@idOS_network) with deep zk expertise (@PrivadoID) to finally deliver a compliant, privacy-preserving solution. And this isn’t years away — we’re talking production in the coming weeks. On a personal note: I’m thrilled to finally work with @davidsrz, @provenauthority, and the Billions team. We’ve known and collaborated for years. People assume we’re competitors, but identity people are different — we care about making decentralized identity work. Evin and David are true OGs. Their feedback since the Polygon ID days helped shape idOS, and it’s exciting to see this come full circle. Identity has been written off by many after wave after wave of failed projects. But it’s one of the oldest ideas in crypto — going back to Bitcoin’s earliest discussions. It’s been through the trough of disillusionment. Now, as adoption grows, it’s becoming one of the most underestimated markets out there. Identity is everywhere.
