In this post:

• Concordium has launched its identity verification application called Concordium ID.

• The application’s launch has been supported by integration into popular Wallets of Coin98 and Safle.

Concordium launched a next-generation identity verification application called Concordium ID on Tuesday. The application is designed to support secure age verification by enabling users to prove their age without giving up their data.

The firm revealed that Concordium ID allows age verification without compelling users to disclose sensitive information. The App will also be able to store user information on multiple platforms.

The new initiative aims to enable digital businesses to provide age-appropriate content without compromising user privacy. It also mitigates the reliance on unreliable self-declaration methods.

The PayFi-blockchain platform acknowledged that the app is built using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs). It provides a single, encrypted ID to administer age verification across the entire web. The company’s new product forms a decentralized, secure, and scalable solution for meeting access to age-based content, services, and community features.

Concordium ID will be available on iPhone and Android via a dedicated application. The firm added that users can use the new feature to generate a Concordium account used for age verification across the internet. 

According to Concordium, the application’s launch has been supported by integration into popular Wallets of Coin98 and Safle. Its integration will allow users to verify and pay for online products and services using Concordium ID.

Concordium CEO, Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki, argued that the web has never had a viable age verification system until the introduction of Concordium ID. He said the lack of a viable age verification system has resulted in ineffective piecemeal solutions that come with privacy risks.

“With Coin998 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.”

CEO of Coin98, Thanh Le, acknowledged that the integration of Concordium ID allows the company to offer privacy-preserving age checks across dApps, games, and payments to over 10 million Coin98 users from more than 170 countries. He argued that its wallet-agnostic and developer-friendly feature unlocks new categories of compliant and age-appropriate services.

Concordium also noted that its new initiative has come amid the rise of age-based content filtering. The UK and Europe are pushing age-based content filtering in a bid to shield minors from adult content. As previously reported by Cryptopolitan, the U.S. is also looking into the possibility of deploying digital identity to mitigate illicit financial activities.

The company argued that governments and tech providers have struggled to implement systems that maintain safety and privacy. It also acknowledged that the Concordium ID ensures both safety and privacy, allowing users to prove their identity and age without the need to store personal data across multiple platforms.

Concordium ID aims to boost access in Web2 and Web3

Concordium ID will also have broad use across Web2 and Web3 in addition to supporting age verification. It will enable providers to maintain compliance without the need to retain customer data or implement costly verification solutions.

The new app’s wallet-agnostic design means that it will be integrated into Web3 businesses such as dApps and protocols through an SDK. It will allow the Concordium ID to support PayFi and other services requiring identity verification while giving users the privacy they expect through zero-knowledge proofs.
