The Problem

New legislation is forcing websites and platforms to verify user ages, but current solutions require collecting government IDs, credit cards, or biometric data—creating massive privacy risks and surveillance infrastructure. Website operators face an impossible choice between legal compliance and protecting user privacy, while users risk identity theft and loss of online anonymity.

Potential Solution

A drop-in API and SDK that enables age verification through zero-knowledge proofs, allowing platforms to confirm a user meets an age threshold without ever seeing or storing their actual identity documents. Users verify once through a trusted credential issuer and receive a reusable cryptographic token that proves only their age bracket—no PII touches the platform's servers.

Why Now?

Multiple federal and state age verification bills (like HR 7757/KOSA) are rapidly advancing through legislatures in 2026, creating urgent compliance demand. Platforms need solutions immediately, and the current market offers only privacy-invasive options that users and advocacy groups actively oppose.
