Self Disclosure Privacy using ZK Proofs, Demonstrated & Executed Directly on Cardano Preview
I built a demo where a customer buys a beer and proves they are 18 or over, without ever showing their ID. No name. No birth year. No photo. Just maths.
Two beers were ordered. Two separate transactions. The same proof, reused, no re-verification needed. The blockchain recorded "age verified" both times. That's all it knows. No name. No address. No date of birth. No photo. No personal data of any kind.
This runs entirely and directly on Cardano. No sidechains. No L2s. No off-chain verification. The ZK proof is checked by the Plutus V3 validator itself, on-chain, using Groth16.
And this isn't just for bars, it works for shops, website signups, any age-restricted service. One credential, reused anywhere. Self disclosure means you choose what to share, and in this case, the customer chose to share nothing except "yes, I'm old enough, give me a nice cold beer." 🍺
Massive shout out to everybody involved in the below!
Aiken smart contract language on Cardano (please don't judge my Aiken... I know it's bad 😂)
ak-381 by Modulo-P, Groth16 SNARK verification library for BLS12-381 on Aiken
Circom + snarkjs, ZK circuit design and proof generation
MeshSDK, transaction building and wallet management
Blockfrost, blockchain data provider
A basic demo to set the stage for further privacy enhancements that can occur directly on Cardano.
Self disclosure privacy on Cardano
Cheers Cardano 🍻🍻

Hello @MidnightNtwrk,
We’ve decided to upgrade Fetch. Why stop at an aggregator when you can build a decentralized exchange instead?
Private by design. Degenerate by nature.
Until our editor is online, you can take a look at the stock page. It's beta, nothing official, but not without value. Some of the experiments we do will be posted here. At the moment everything is free but with a small watermark.

Android's openness distinguished it from iPhone for 17 years. Google is now requiring mandatory developer registration for all apps, including those distributed outside the Play Store. https://t.co/TmptMw3LVh #KeepAndroidOpen
Here is the list of billions Elon Musk and his companies have received from the US taxpayer, while doing everything he can to dismantle the state.
Much of it also came during his infamous time at DOGE.
Many billions are still not precisely disclosed or impossible to fully trace publicly.
I will keep digging, for the culture.
‼️🚨 ALARMING: Google now treats privacy as suspicious behavior by default. Users of GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, /e/OS, and other deGoogled Android phones are being locked out of millions of websites unless they install the exact Google Play Services software they deliberately removed.
GrapheneOS is recommended by the EFF and used by journalists, lawyers, and activists in high-risk environments. The audience most likely to read Google's data practices and refuse its terms is now flagged as fraudulent for that exact decision.
What happened?:
▪️ Google announced "Cloud Fraud Defense" at Cloud Next on April 22-23, 2026, branding it "the next evolution of reCAPTCHA." Existing reCAPTCHA customers were auto-migrated.
▪️ When the system flags traffic as suspicious, the old click-the-bus puzzle is gone. Users get a QR code instead.
▪️ Scanning the QR code requires Google Play Services running on the device. Internet Archive snapshots show this requirement has been live since at least October 2025, silently rolled out for 7 months before anyone noticed.
▪️ No Play Services = no QR scan = locked out.
The bigger picture:
▪️ Google already tried this in 2023. It was called Web Environment Integrity (WEI), and it would have let Google decide which devices were "real enough" to access the web. Standards bodies and the public pushed back hard, and Google killed it. Three years later, the same idea is back, just hidden behind a QR code instead of a browser feature.
▪️ reCAPTCHA runs on millions of websites. Every developer who keeps using it is now, by default, telling deGoogled Android users they're not welcome...
Imagine her nightmare in 2030: every private message scanned, internet access gated behind digital ID, VPNs restricted, encryption broken "for the children."
You are running ads about one dystopia while quietly building another.
