Zero-Knowledge Proof Identity Layer ZKPass Reaches 120 Million Users: Privacy-Preserved Identity Verification Goes Mainstream

Decentralized identity protocol ZKPass today announced it has surpassed 120 million users globally, becoming the first zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) application to reach the 100-million-user milestone. ZKPass allows users to verify identity without revealing specific personal information—proving you're over 18 without disclosing your date of birth, or proving income meets a loan threshold without revealing the exact amount.

ZKPass is built on zk-SNARK technology, compressing identity proofs to just 200 bytes with verification time under 50 milliseconds. The protocol is compatible with the EU's eIDAS 2.0 digital identity framework and US NIST digital identity guidelines.

ZKPass Foundation Technical Director Elena Petrova stated: "Traditional identity verification requires surrendering all personal information—it's like giving someone your entire building's keys just to prove you live on a certain floor. ZKPass lets you prove 'I live on this floor' and nothing more."

ZKPass is currently integrated into Revolut (financial KYC), Germany's federal digital identity system, and Singapore's SingPass. JPMorgan Chase revealed that its retail banking now supports ZKPass identity verification, reducing KYC processes from an average of 3 days to instant completion.

However, ZKP technology still carries significant computational overhead. Generating a zero-knowledge proof requires approximately 2 seconds of smartphone CPU time, potentially longer on low-end devices. The ZKPass team is developing a hardware-accelerated next-generation proof system targeting generation times under 200 milliseconds.
