Zero-Knowledge Proofs Solve Internet Age Verification The Policy Struggle Lawmakers around the globe are struggling to find the right balance between enabling safe and secure internet access for minors without imposing on civil liberties (including privacy rights). In the US,
Age verification doesn’t have to mean surveillance. zk identities let you prove facts, like age or citizenship, without revealing personal data. ZKPs offer a path forward that protects minors and individuals’ right to privacy.

The new market structure draft from Senate Banking has the best developer protections language we have seen to date. Still digging into the rest of the bill, but this is worth celebrating immediately. Could not be more thrilled to see @BankingGOP include an amendment to Section

Software developer protections are a non-negotiable. Happy for Aztec Labs to sign-up to this to ensure developers are protected. Protect. Developers. Now.
Today, a coalition of 100+ signatories join DEF in sending a letter to Congress. Software developer protections are a non-negotiable in digital asset market structure legislation. This critical issue unites us — crypto and tech builders, investors, and advocates.

UK bonds mooning hard as the UK debt starts to spiral out of control. Really think we’re in trouble to be honest. Younger generations don’t have the wealth that prior generations had. They can’t afford to pay ever more tax. People lucky enough to have wealth are increasingly

While these remarks are a good step forward, leaving an open door to future prosecution is not an outcome software developers will feel comfortable with, given how politicised prosecutions can be. Only the BRCA implemented in its full form can patch this glitch in the matrix.
