U.K. Exchange Crypto Facilities Launches Bitcoin Cash Futures 7285

Bitcoin cash, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency, took another step into the big leagues on Friday when a European derivatives trading platform launched the first regulated, USD-denominated bitcoin cash futures. This product, which began trading on the U.K.-based Crypto Facilities on Friday at 4 p.m. local time, allows investors to bet on the future price movements of bitcoin cash, as well as hedge risk in their overall cryptocurrency portfolios.

“We are pleased to be expanding our cryptocurrency derivatives offering with the launch of Bitcoin Cash futures,” said Crypto Facilities CEO Timo Schlaefer in a statement. “BCH is a top five coin with a market capitalisation of around $10 billion and we expect our new contracts to spur the evolution of the crypto markets by bringing greater liquidity and transparency to the digital asset class.”

“This is another example of how Bitcoin Cash is proving itself to be one of the most innovative and useful cryptocurrencies in the world,” added BCH evangelist Roger Ver.

Tokyo-based trading and investment firm Profluent Japan says that it will make markets in the new bitcoin cash futures markets.

“Profluent Japan welcomes the opportunity to make markets in BCH derivatives on the Crypto Facilities platform. The institutional trading community was in great need of a proper BCH hedging mechanism at an FCA-registered exchange with a first class management team,” said Profluent Group CEO Bert Mouler. “Crypto Facilities is the first to provide such a service.”

In addition to BCH, Crypto Facilities has also launched futures products for bitcoin, ethereum, ripple, and litecoin. Earlier this year, Crypto Facilities CEO Tim Schlaefer told CCN that the platform has seen strong growth in 2018 despite the bear market. He said that volume had increased 84 percent between Q4 2017 and Q1 2018 and that he expected Q2 volume to double that of Q1.

Notably, Crypto Facilities is one of several cryptocurrency exchanges that provide pricing data used in Chicago-based derivatives exchange CME’s cryptocurrency reference rates. To date, CME has launched reference rates for bitcoin and ether, and the former has been used as the foundation for the platform’s bitcoin futures product. Consequently, the launch of BCH derivatives products on this platform could be the first step toward eventually seeing bitcoin cash futures listed on a major exchange.

Concordium Enables a New Standard of Age Verification Amidst Growing Privacy Concerns 3963

Concordium, the Layer 1, science-backed blockchain creating a safer digital world, proudly unveils Web3 ID: a cutting-edge identification platform offering age-verification capacities designed to prioritize user privacy for both individuals and businesses. Concordium’s age verification tooling works to protect minors online amidst growing global privacy concerns and explicit data-harvesting from technology organisations.

Web3 ID harnesses Concordium’s Zero-Knowledge Proof technology to offer a novel approach to age verification – without ever compromising user data or privacy. By uploading a government-issued form of identification to their wallet, Web3 ID users can drastically reduce the amount of data they disclose during online identity verification, regaining control over any sensitive information.

Mikael Breinholst, Head of Product at Concordium, spoke to the widespread concern surrounding existing online age-verification tools, stating: “Current age verification tools online are a grave area of concern for many. Age-restricted sites have little to no barrier to entry, exposing underage consumers to a universe of adult themed content. Blockchain technology, and Web3 ID specifically, enable businesses to request proof of an individual’s age, without storing their data or selling it to advertisers. With Web3 ID, users maintain autonomy and safety over their personal information while benefiting from blockchain technology’s inherent security.”

Concordium´s built-in ID layer and Zero-Knowledge-Proof technology ensures a user’s online identity is verified in a secure and decentralized manner, all while maintaining privacy. Only strictly relevant information is requested of users when transacting on the Web3 ID platform, while unrelated details are held on a decentralized wallet. Web3 ID users are also granted an increase in transactional security through Concordium’s compliance-friendly technology. In result, individuals and businesses are empowered with complete control over their information, effectively countering the data ownership issues associated with centralized legacy systems.

Kåre Kjelstrøm, CTO & CPO at Concordium, commented: “Concordium’s Web3 ID is intuitive and easy to build upon, offering seamless usability while being cost-effective, shrinking online identification processes. Further to preventing children from accessing age-restricted sites, Web3 ID is capable of sharing specific medical information without the recipient having access to the entirety of an individual’s medical history, proving a user’s driving credentials, or simply ensuring user data is genuine and not the result of bots. This model addresses many of the shortcomings surrounding ID safety caused by big tech’s data monopoly.”

The creation of a new standard of age verification promotes Concordium’s mission of supporting a regulated future for new and existing organisations building on blockchain technology. This achievement follows recent partnerships such as AI service provider 2021.ai, and carbon offset management platform Aqualibre.

One Trading Launch Instant Trade 5546

One Trading, the crypto asset exchange formerly operating under the Bitpanda Pro brand, today announced its new product, Instant Trade.

Having recently raised €30M and fully separated from Bitpanda, Instant Trade is another step forward for One Trading as it diversifies its offering and establishes its footprint as a household name providing crypto assets to both retail and institutional investors in Europe.

With backers including the likes of Peter Thiel’s Valar Ventures, MiddleGame Ventures, Speedinvest, Keyrock and Wintermute Ventures, One Trading is drawing a lot of attention.

Led by TradFi heavyweight and ex-JP Morgan exec Josh Barraclough, One Trading aims to address the lack of regulated venues in Europe by offering more sophisticated crypto products, including derivatives and spot trading, to both institutions and retail customers. With many traditional finance players lacking experience in the crypto market, there is a significant gap in providing long-term product confidence and success.

The latest product being launched is Instant Trade. Josh had the following to say about Instant Trade: “We’re really excited to be unraveling our latest product, Instant Trade, which brings our OTC product, typically reserved for institutional clients, to all customer types. Our customers can now trade 100+ pairs between crypto-assets and fiat seamlessly with great fiat on and off ramps at the click of a button, and commission-free trading. Most brokers charge a dealing fee when customers buy or sell assets, however, Instant Trade will have 0% commission, meaning there is no additional dealing fee charged on Instant Trade aside from the market spread applied. We’ve built up a deep pool of liquidity with a range of partners over the years, which everyone can access without having to trade hundreds of millions a day or hold ecosystem tokens.

We have a simplified, really easy to use UI and customers can even trade up to ten million euros in one trade. We’ll also be regularly adding new assets and our customers can rest assured that with our VASP license, we are a safe, secure, and regulated service, for anyone that isn’t a customer, you can test out Instant Trade on our website and compare our prices.

We’re really excited to hear feedback from our customers so do let us know what you think via our socials and community channels. We will also be releasing an article on the One Trading blog page specifically about Instant Trade, so keep an eye out for that on the website.”

“We want to make crypto trading safe and accessible for all and bridge the gap to provide an institutional-grade platform for all customer types. We have been rolling out a rebrand and a number of big infrastructure changes. We will be going live shortly with what we believe to be the fastest and most scalable exchange (< 250-microsecond order create/cancel) based on real-world metrics available to a shared retail and institutional audience. We aim to become a utility for large liquidity providers to exchange unlimited amounts of risk under a membership model instead of pay-per-trade and have low fees and deep books for retail with a number of liquidity protections. We will then start listing more products with appropriate controls and vetting as we move into derivatives. Above all we want a regulated, institutional-grade platform where people feel safe to trade with unique product options”. Josh Barraclough, CEO, One Trading.

One Trading intends to operate as a MiFID Trading Venue, which will augment its existing VASP license, and would allow its platform to offer capital-efficient spot and derivative products for all customer types. It also offers a higher level of protection for customers who will be vetted through stringent anti-money laundering (AML) and Know-your-customer (KYC) procedures as well as client appropriateness checks. The full-scale MiFID license will also allow One Trading to list financial instruments – removing the debate over whether a DLT asset is a token or a security – and will permit new products to be designed from the ground up with appropriate vetting, transparency and customer protection in mind.

One Trading’s platform also offers access to a high-touch and secure OTC trading service, enabling high-net-worth individuals and institutions access to a wide range of digital assets, with competitive fees, and deep pools of liquidity.

About One Trading

The One Trading team is based and headquartered in Europe with offices across Amsterdam, London, Milan, and Vienna. One Trading is regulated in the EU and has built its product and venue to meet the needs of European customers. One Trading’s mission is to bridge the gap between crypto and traditional asset trading with a single regulated trading platform for all customer types and all products.

Bitcoin Price at 2011 Levels Returns as Bitcoin BSC Launch Provides Chance to Earn Free Bitcoin Clone Tokens 6082

Back in 2011, the Bitcoin price was $1, but today, following the launch of the Bitcoin BSC coin crypto presale on the BNB Smart Chain, buyers can acquire the token at a similarly low price and earn free Bitcoin clone tokens too.

Bitcoin, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, is struggling right now after bulls were trapped as enthusiasm at the prospect of the SEC spot bitcoin ETFs getting speedy approval receded. The price retraced below the $26k level, but it has been a different story for Bitcoin clone derivative coins.

During the past three months, for example, the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) fork from Bitcoin is up 73%, while Bitcoin has fallen -2.3% in the same time period.

Meanwhile, a similar staking-based bitcoin derivative coin to Bitcoin BSC, BTC20, which launched a month ago, is up 52%.

In fact, BTC20 hit an all-time (ATH) intraday high of $6, equating to a 688% 7x gain on its $1 presale and listing price.

Yet another bitcoin clone derivative, this time BTC2.0, rose to an ATH of $1.06 to register a return of 538x, although the price has retraced markedly from its peak.

Earn free Bitcoin clone tokens with stake-to-earn Bitcoin BSC coin

Bitcoin BSC aims to match, or beat, the success of all of these Bitcoin clone coins, and to achieve that end it has a not-so-secret weapon – staking.

While the performance of BTC2.0, not to be confused with BTC20, since its heights has been somewhat underwhelming, there has been more of a steady-as-she-goes approach by the likes of BTC20.

That’s probably largely down to the ballast effect of staking, which bears down on any selling pressure that may emerge at listing.

In this way, Bitcoin BSC seeks to emulate BTC20 by adopting a similar design and strategy, providing the price with a stable platform for takeoff.

Like BTC20, Bitcoin BSC has staking utility built into its design from the outset.

However, it should be noted that there is one important difference between Bitcoin BSC and BTC20 – Bitcoin BSC is a BEP-20 BNB Smart Chain-compliant token, and BTC20 is an ERC-20 Ethereum-compliant token – hence the BSC in the name.

Staking has been popular in the crypto DeFi space, but enthusiasm waned in the aftermath of high-profile implosions of staking ecosystems such as Terra Luna.

However, the attractiveness of transparent staking that has a clearly defined source of yield, unlike the opaque algorithms in use on Terra Luna, has not gone away.

With $BTCBSC, which runs on the BNB Smart Chain, the yield is paid out over a 120-year period, in line with Bitcoin block confirmations. Altogether, 69% of the total token supply is allocated to distribute as rewards.

Staking provides token holders with a way of earning token rewards in proportion to how many coins of the total pool they deposit into a staking smart contract and the time they choose to stake for.

It is this staking feature that will deliver price support while offering both positive capital returns and income yield to network participants.

Bitcoin BSC staking is operative now, even before the coin lists on the decentralized exchange PancakeSwap.

You can keep an eye on how many token holders are staking by visiting the real-time Bitcoin BSC staking dashboard.

You can snap up Bitcoin BSC at the low Bitcoin 2011 price of $0.99

$BTCBSC can be bought today for $ 0.99 – the same price the Bitcoin was at back in its 2011 early days, and a far cry from the $25,7000 it will cost you to purchase Bitcoin at today’s prices.

Bitcoin BSC’s comparatively low price means contributors to the presale could be sitting on substantial upside potential when the Bitcoin halving bull run takes off.

The four-yearly event that sees block rewards halved on the original Bitcoin network has previously ushered in mind-melting bull runs.

This halving is expected to have the effect of lifting all boats – especially the prices of quality Bitcoin clone derivative coins such as $BTCBSC.

Bitcoin BSC has the same total token supply as Bitcoin – 21 million. Of that total supply, 29% is up for grabs through the presale of 6,125,000 tokens, meaning BTCBSC has an initial market cap of $6,063,750.

Two percent of the supply is reserved for DEX liquidity provision to guarantee smooth trading at launch and beyond.

The remaining 14,455,000 BTCBSC tokens (69% of supply) is reserved for staking rewards, which are paid out every 10 minutes as new blocks are added to the chain.

At that token emission rate, the maximum supply will be reached in about 120 years – the same time frame as Bitcoin.

Presale and post-presale investors can buy and stake tokens at any time with a 7-day lock on withdrawals.

Bear in mind that because BTCBSC runs on the BNB Smart Chain, to buy and stake in the presale, you will need to use BNB for your purchase. However, those buying with ETH today can start staking after the presale ends.

Faster, cheaper, more powerful and expandable than other Bitcoin clones

Still, staking is not the only advantage BTCBSC has over Bitcoin and the larger-cap clone coins such as Bitcoin Cash, and Bitcoin SV.

For one thing, $BTCBSC uses a proof-of-stake protocol, which means it runs on a much more scalable blockchain that is also cheaper and more efficient to transact on.

Because BTCBSC is built on the BNB Smart Chain, transaction fees are less than $0.10, compared to around $10 on Bitcoin and approximately $20 on Ethereum, depending on network conditions.

Another advantage BTCBSC has is its fast transaction speeds, which are typically less than 5 seconds compared to 10 minutes for Bitcoin, BCH, and BSV.

BNB Smart Chain is capable of running applications, too, so there’s no limit to future development possibilities for Bitcoin BSC.

Bitcoin BSC has a lot going for it, and with only $3,960,000 being raised in the presale, demand is sure to be robust.

Crypto market prices are generally becalmed, but there are waters where the current is much healthier. In the Bitcoin derivative clone sector, there’s all to play for as far as bagging out 10x gains goes.

Get in early, and the rewards will not just accrue to long-term stakers earning a generous APY, but also to those who want the chance to access life-changing returns.

From Japan to the world! The CARAC Token project that will greatly change the entertainment business has started!! 5741

178783685254

About CARAC Token, the reserve currency of Jyanna World, a communication square developed by CARAC as a metaverse space, we will announce a new service for users worldwide.
https://www.carac-jp.llc/
https://www.carac-jp.llc/_files/ugd/105a0d_0f4732aa61d54e1aaf4934c04bccba48.pdf

CARAC, LLC. (CARAC) is a company that has developed Jyanna World, a platform for building a communication square in a metaverse space and distributing the real world through live streaming.

1. In Jyanna World, there are two avatars: (1) AI avatars that transmit information in the meta-space and (2) user avatars that catch the information.

  • AI avatars in (1), such as celebrities, idols, cosplayers, singers, the proprietress of a hot spring resort, the chairman of a tourism bureau, and other information-transmitting, real-life people exist as official avatars and stroll around Jyanna World.
  • When the user avatars in (2) want to obtain information for their purpose, they ask questions to the AI avatars in (1) via chat, and the AI avatars in (1) respond through the chat Bot.
  • User avatars in (2) have access to both free and paid areas of Jyanna World. The paid area requires a “Pass,” which the NFT manages.

* CARAC Tokens are required to purchase the Passes. Users in (2) with the Pass can access paid areas to obtain information only available in that area and receive services such as gift items that can be used in Jyanna World.

278676785787878

2. The live feed is built on the following three components;

  • A. Real underground idols and cosplayers will live-stream as Livers and communicate with fans by responding to chats from them. Fans can support the Livers by giving gift items they have purchased.
  • B. Live streaming of a singer’s or artist’s concert simultaneously.
  • B.-1 Communication service with fans in which artists sing songs and respond to messages sent by fans via chat.
  • C. Live streaming from domestic tourist attractions, amusement facilities, and event venues. Tourists can learn the status of crowds and events taking place simultaneously through live streaming and make appropriate decisions.

Entermedia, Inc., a company that handles large-scale festivals in Japan, serves as the front of contact for concerts and events.
https://www.entermedia.co.jp/
https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000013.000037190.html　

STARDUST PROMITION, INC. (https://www.stardust.co.jp/), which features AI avatars at Jyanna World and uses many artists and idols for over 200 box offices, concerts, and events annually, has planned live concert streaming (B. and B.-1) and past concert streaming featuring official AI avatars.

With those deliveries, fans with “Passes” purchased with the CARAC Token will be able to watch the special live streaming from backstage immediately after the concert and will be able to present items to the artists.

For example, if an artist has a birthday and a fan presents him or her with a birthday cake image item, the artist will feel happy and call the fan’s name over his or her phone in the streaming.
https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000016.000037190.html　

As described above, Jyanna World users are divided into general users and VIPs with Pass Tickets. NFT manages Pass Tickets and requires CARAC Token for purchase.

The CARAC Token is essential to enjoy 100% of the live streaming experience at Jyanna World.

As long as entertainment exists and fans of artists, idols, singers, etc., in the real world continue to exist, CARAC Token, the reserve currency of Jyanna World, will be indispensable in fulfilling fans’ desires.

Fans purchase “Pass Tickets,” which can only be purchased with CARAC Token, to attend live performances by their favorite artists and idols and support them 100%. Since fans need to purchase Pass Tickets each time they attend a show, the more Pass Tickets they purchase, the more the value of the CARAC Token increases, and the Token’s value can be secured and protected.

CARAC Token can be purchased at xt.com (https://www.xt.com/ja/trade/carac_usdt), xt.com is paying attention to this Token so much because it is necessary for many artists and fans.

To provide even more valuable space and streaming, CARAC has begun negotiations with not only many domestic production companies but also with overseas entertainment production companies for distributing overseas artists.

DCS Card Centre launches payment Token DUS, to be first deployed and issued on PlatON Network 5149

DCS Card Centre (DCS) recently announced the official launch of its payment token, DCS Tokens (DUS), which will be first deployed and issued on PlatON Network.

This issuance marks a major breakthrough in the field of blockchain payments, demonstrating the determination of PlatON and DCS to use advanced technology to drive innovation in the payment industry. DCS has also become the first financial institution in Singapore to launch an initiative aimed at bridging the transitions between Web2 and Web3 ecosystems after the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) introduced the Single-Currency Stablecoin (SCS) Regulatory Framework.

DCS is a financial institution governed by the MAS under the Banking Act and licensed to issue credit and charge cards. DCS will continue to lead the revolutionary innovation and integration in the next-generation digital payment field.

DCS Tokens (DUS) represent a unique convergence of digital assets and traditional finance. DCS Tokens are tokenized from credit card transactions processed by DCS and can only be returned to DCS for redemption as card spend limits. These tokens are designed to provide value stability (1USD:1DUS) and act as a trusted connection between Web3 and card payments globally in Web2.

PlatON Network, known for its high security and scalability, will provide a solid technical foundation for the issuance of DUS, ensuring that users can conduct transactions in a fast and secure network environment without worrying about privacy and data security issues.

The redemption of DUS for conversion into increasing a DCS cardholder’s spend limit or paying outstanding balances back to fiat is fast and seamless, as the transaction is executed instantly on D-Vault. D-Vault, a feature within the DCS Cards app, also allows bank transfers and conversion of digital assets. This innovation empowers users to seamlessly optimize and toggle between the convenience and efficiencies of Web2 and Web3.

In addition to co-issuing DUS, DCS will also explore a new ecosystem of financial services on Web3 with PlatON based on blockchain, privacy-preserving computation, artificial intelligence (AI), and other technologies, promoting innovation and development of blockchain technology in the field of payment and clearing. At the same time, DCS became the first heavyweight financial institution to sign up for TOPOS (an encrypted payment and clearing operation system based on PlatON), initiating and building the TOPOS ecosystem together with PlatON.

PlatON is an open financial infrastructure with privacy-preserving computation as its technical feature. Initiated and promoted by the LatticeX Foundation, PlatON aims to become a major blockchain platform in the era of Web3. It secures stability and performance on a par with that of the financial system and provides privacy-enhanced compliant digital asset management, multi-scenario encrypted payment and clearing solutions, and a smooth and user-friendly experience for various types of Web3-native applications and applications/users migrating from Web2 to Web3.

TOPOS is an open payment and clearing operation system based on blockchain, adhering to an OPEN LOOP multi-party architecture. With the underlying payment logic based on tokenized money, TOPOS enables users to self-mint “money” in the Web3 era and transfer value in a secure, controlled way. TOPOS will gradually build an open clearing and settlement system for Web3 in a compliant, secure, open and convenient manner.

This historic collaboration between the two parties is grounded in their shared vision and value judgment for the future of global digital payment and clearing. The TOPOS network offers DCS a complete underlying solution for issuing tokenized money compliant with the PlatON Network, assisting DCS in securely, stably and transparently managing the minting, burning and scenario-based use of tokens.

Through this partnership, the industry is presented with PlatON’s comprehensive strength and ambitious vision in Web3 open financial infrastructure and its ecosystem. It marks the initiation of TOPOS’ business strategy as the global digital currency payment and clearing network for the Web3 era. This proves that TOPOS is poised to thoroughly and deeply support various traditional financial institutions in their strategic transition to open finance under the Web3/digital currency system. Moreover, it is ready to serve more financial institutions committed to the construction of the new TOPOS clearing network.

zkPass pre-alpha testnet opens for public testing 5958

In a significant stride towards revolutionizing data privacy and verification, zkPass, the innovative privacy-preserving protocol for private data verification, announces that its Pre-alpha Testnet is open for public testing.

A Glimpse into the Future: zkPass Pre-alpha Testnet

The zkPass Pre-alpha Testnet presents a transformative approach to private data verification. Built on the bedrock of Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), and Three-party Transport Layer Security (3P-TLS), zkPass introduces TransGate—a gateway empowering users to selectively and privately validate their data from any HTTPS website. This encompasses diverse data types, including legal identity, financial records, healthcare information, social interactions, work history, education, and skill certifications. zkPass achieves these verifications securely and privately, obviating the necessity to reveal or upload sensitive personal data to third parties.

The Power of Scalability

zkPass can be readily incorporated into multiple application scenarios, including composable decentralized identity passes, DeFi lending protocols based on off-chain credit, privacy-ensured healthcare data marketplaces, and dating apps featuring verifiable zkSBTs, etc. Wherever there is a need for trust and privacy, zkPass can provide a solution.

By employing cryptographic technologies like MPC, ZKP, and others, zkPass enables users to validate their private data through the verification of their HTTPS-based web session—eliminating the need for file uploads or the exposure of sensitive details.

For example, through zkPass, Alice can prove:

  • Based on her server response to the Steam/GOG website, she has purchased 10+ games with 100+ hours of gameplay and is not required to disclose any other private information about her account to a third party.
  • Based on her server response with the Harvard Alumni website, she has a Bachelor’s degree and is an alumnus of Harvard University, but does not disclose any of her other superfluous personal data.
  • Based on her server response with the Porsche website, she owns a Porsche, but does not disclose her frame number, purchase order, or other private data.
  • Based on her server response with the bank’s website, she owns assets greater than $100K, but does not disclose any of her specific account assets, transfer records, or other private data.

zkPass can be applied in various scenarios to enhance user experience, trust, and privacy:

  • The Metaverse/GameFi program is looking for gaming ambassadors to participate in a test and offer a reward, and they can easily verify that Alice is their target user.
  • Alice can seamlessly access the Alumni DAO via her zkPass zkSBT while ensuring privacy and trustworthiness.
  • Alice leveraged her RWA ZKPs to establish a reputation for high ratings, which allowed her to access a DeFi lending platform and secure lower mortgage and borrowing rates, ultimately boosting her capital efficiency.

By redesigning the TLS protocol to Three-party TLS, zkPass makes it seamless for any HTTPS-based website to be used as a trusted data source for provenance of zero-knowledge metadata without having to authorize any APIs.

Open Invitation to Shape the Future

zkPass launched its Pre-alpha Testnet in July, receiving an overwhelming response with over 200,000 waitlist signups. Currently, tens of thousands of whitelisted users have already generated more than 100,000 zero-knowledge proofs, each representing their respective private data, identity, or ownership.

User feedback holds immense importance as it helps refine and enhance their solution. The public release of the Pre-alpha Testnet extends a warm invitation to technology enthusiasts, privacy advocates, and individuals who deeply value secure data practices. This invitation aims to shape the future landscape of data privacy alongside zkPass collectively.

Participating in the Pre-alpha Testnet not only grants users early access to an advanced solution but also empowers them to actively contribute towards its improvement. This collaborative effort is a key driver in tailoring zkPass into a privacy-focused protocol that empowers users in an increasingly data-centric world.

How to Get Involved

Getting involved in zkPass’s Pre-alpha Testnet is simple:

  1. Users can Install the TransGate Extension from Google Chrome Web Store.
  2. Interested users join pre.zkpass.org to be a part of the Pre-alpha Testnet and experience firsthand the power of private data validation.

More tutorial details can be found on the doc wiki and engage with the zkPass community. Users are invited share their insights, and become an integral part of shaping this groundbreaking technology.

About ZkPass

zkPass is an advanced privacy-preserving protocol for private data verification. It allows users to securely and selectively validate their data from any HTTPS website, making it highly versatile for various applications, including banking and DeFi lending protocols. zkPass is the ideal solution whenever trust and privacy are essential.
