Is this @0xMiden's last post today? I wonder what ranking they'll achieve! I'll contribute one last post as I feel like it!
This collaboration with @billions_ntwk has completely impressed me: it directly ends the "dilemma" of on-chain identity verification—either sacrificing privacy or failing to comply with regulations. Traditional KYC and Worldcoin entrust sensitive data (passport/iris) to centralized institutions or permanently bind it to hardware, leading to irreversible risks, strong dependence, and significant regulatory pitfalls.
Miden @0xMiden + Privado's ZK identity stack completely revolutionizes this: users only need to verify once, and the original data (passport, face, etc.) is immediately deleted, leaving only the user-controlled ZK proof on the chain. Afterward, users only need to selectively prove "meeting the criteria" (age/nationality, etc.), rather than "who I am."
This perfectly aligns with Miden @0xMiden's "client-side execution + default private" philosophy. In contrast, Worldcoin's "global iris ID" is: the former is permanently bound + centralized dependence, while the latter is data destruction + user sovereignty. Developers enjoy zero PII (Personal Information Interface), no database, and no risk of data breaches, with a significant shift in legal responsibility and enhanced compliance.
This is not a minor upgrade, but a paradigm shift in sovereign identity: privacy by default, auditable compliance, and the confidence of enterprises and institutions to deploy on the blockchain on a large scale. In the era of programmable privacy in 2026, this collaboration may become an infrastructure-level turning point. Phase 2 is about to launch; get started now for a real-world experience!
