Concordium Debuts ID App with Coin98 to Solve the Internet’s Age Check Problem
From multi-chain wallets to websites, the newly launched Concordium ID app lays the foundation to enable interoperable zero-knowledge proofs for privacy-preserving age verification. Coin98, an early adopter, gives access to millions worldwide.
In a landmark step towards safer, more privacy-conscious digital experiences, Concordium has launched Concordium ID, a standalone app designed to enhance access to all of Concordium’s identity features, including zero-knowledge proofs for privacy-first age checks. This app makes the chain’s protocol-level ID layer interoperable with third-party multi-chain wallets via the SDK, and empowers users to create Concordium accounts that will soon allow them to securely and privately verify their age and other attributes online without ever compromising privacy.
For Web2 and Web3 platforms alike, the Concordium ID was built with regulatory-grade age verification in mind, offering accountability and user privacy safeguards. And from day one, multi-chain wallet Coin98 integrated the app, giving millions of wallet users the ability to create Concordium accounts directly within their preferred wallet environment to hold and use CCD, the chain’s native token. Coin98’s 10M+ global user base also has built-in access to future privacy-first verification features, extending Concordium ID’s reach across ecosystems without adding integration friction.
Concordium ID is now available on iOS and Android.
Age Verification Without the Data Grab
More than a technical achievement, Concordium ID has been designed for additional features that address one of the internet’s long-standing problems: the lack of a viable, trustworthy verification system. As recent headlines indicate, online age verification has become a constant tug-of-war between user privacy and regulatory compliance. What it comes down to is that the web has never had a viable age verification system. Existing solutions have either relied on self-attested “Yes, I’m over 18” checkboxes or invasive ID uploads that scatter personal data across databases. These methods are easy to bypass and a magnet for fraud.
Concordium ID has the potential to end that trade-off, by giving platforms a way to meet compliance standards without infringing on the privacy of users or their control over what they share, and with whom. For digital businesses and social platforms, this means meeting age-gating requirements without introducing data storage liabilities. For users, it’s the ability to access age-restricted content or services with complete control over what information is shared.
The Groundwork for Viable Age Verification and More
Unlike other identity tools, which operate at the verification layer and depend on the separate ledgers or registries, Concordium embeds its ID layer directly into its Layer-1 protocol. This architecture supports on-chain privacy-first identity, and with the launch of the standalone Concordium ID app, the protocol-level identity layer becomes interoperable across Web2 and Web3 applications and services, and lays the groundwork for upcoming capabilities such as age verification and verify & pay, enabling users to prove eligibility or identity and complete transactions in a single, seamless flow.
With a developer-friendly SDK, third-party wallets, merchants, age-gated and geo-restricting platforms can begin integrating today in order to be ready to activate new PayFi features as they roll out without needing deep cryptographic expertise. By abstracting away complexity, Concordium removes the barriers associated with zero-knowledge proof adoption such as scaling and steep learning curves, and delivers a solution designed not just for current integrations, but for tomorrow’s compliant-ready, privacy-first economy.
Beyond Wallets
The launch of Concordium ID marks only the beginning. Future integrations will carry privacy-first identity—soon with age and geo checks—far beyond wallets into merchant websites, regulated services and dApps. In industries where compliance is non-negotiable and user confidence is critical, a trust-preserving approach should be the standard, not the exception.
With Coin98 leading the charge as a first adopter, Concordium is only beginning to show what’s possible. This launch opens the door to a wave of integrations that will put portable, zero-knowledge proof identity into the hands of hundreds of millions of users, transforming how privacy, compliance, and trust work online.
