According to Cointelegraph, blockchain protocol Concordium has released a mobile age verification app based on zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs), supporting iOS and Android systems. Users can pay $0.01 to create an encrypted digital identity and prove age and other attributes (such as nationality, date of birth) to third-party services without disclosing actual information. The app's launch coincides with the UK's mandatory implementation of adult content access age verification regulations on August 1, sparking privacy protection controversies. The UK's communications regulator Ofcom allows the use of reusable digital identity wallet schemes that comply with data protection standards, and Concordium is in discussions with Ofcom regarding compliance. Google Wallet integrated zero-knowledge proof technology for age verification in April, indicating the technology's gradual penetration into non-cryptocurrency scenarios.
