we’ve been working on a permanent patch to the identity and compliance (KYC/KYB) for over a year now.
early docs dropping soon to the general public. no token, no vampiric pricing. just @onflowxyz, for everyone.
current state of affairs:
The recent Tea App hack is a wake-up call: most startups simply don’t have the resources to build secure identity backends.
We need zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), NOW.
🧾 Privacy and verification shouldn’t be at odds.
🛡️ ZKPs let us prove who we are without exposing who we are.
The most widely used method today is zkSNARKs. Tiny proof size, lightning-fast verification. It powers @0xPolygon zkEVM, @aztecnetwork, @zksync Era, and of course, @Zcash.
The godfather? Eli Ben-Sasson.
Others have similar systems like PLONK (@Scroll_ZKP), Halo 2 (Mina), and Groth16, each with its own trade off of proof size and speed but all vastly better than today’s fragile, app-by-app identity stacks.
ZKP adoption is inevitable.
@Apple and other gatekeepers should make it the default, not the upgrade.
