Google is bringing zero-knowledge proofs to Google Wallet, allowing users to verify their age on websites without revealing personal details like birthdates.
The privacy-enhancing feature marks a major step in making cryptographic identity tools more accessible—and more invisible—for everyday users.
“When tech giants like Google start seamlessly integrating Zero-Knowledge Proofs into their apps, it’s a clear signal that privacy-driven innovations are becoming mainstream,” said Rob Viglione, co-founder of Horizen Labs, in a note to crypto.news. “The next frontier for our industry is building compliant privacy solutions that offer greater protection without burdening regulators.”
