Privacy-preserving identity is coming to @CantonNetwork .🆔
zkMe integrates with Canton to support zero-knowledge identity verification, reusable credentials, and selective disclosure for institutional onchain finance.

Proof of human will probably land first in places where impersonation has a real cost.
Video meetings.
Signing flows.
Dating.
Agent delegation.
When trust failure gets expensive, "this account exists" stops being enough.
That is usually when a trust check starts turning into product infrastructure.
#ProofOfHuman #DigitalTrust #zkMe
For a long time, the internet treated accounts as a rough stand-in for people.
That worked well enough. Until it didn't.
As agents, synthetic interactions, and automated actions get closer to real product use, "this account exists" is no longer much of a trust signal.
A lot of services are starting to need a better starting point:
is there a real human behind the action?
That is why proof of human is getting more attention.
Not as a slogan. Just as a more realistic baseline for digital trust.

The next phase of Web3 and AI will need more than access. It will need verifiable trust, accountable identity, and compliance without raw data exposure.
Our Founder & CEO @zkm_alex will be speaking on this at #WikiEXPOHK2026.
See you there.

@0xAlvaroHK thanks for the tag! 🚀
We're zkMe, the leading zk-credential layer on Web3. We deliver secure, private zero-knowledge verification (DIDs & zkKYC) without overshare personal data. Backed by Multicoin Capital and OKX Ventures.
We've already sent you the zkKYC details and guide via DM, kindly check your messages!
@joshqharris Excited to see you're looking for a zero-knowledge KYC solution.
Happy to hop on a call and show exactly how we can add privacy-first identity verification to Pixie Chess.
Let's make it happen! 💡
AI agents are moving from answering questions to taking actions.
That changes the security standard.
Agents should not be trusted because they sound convincing.
They should be allowed to act only when authority can be proven.

The Instagram account hijacking story is the kind of thing AI builders should sit with for a minute.
The scary part is not that a support bot gave a bad answer.
It is that an AI assistant appears to have been close enough to account recovery to help someone take control.

This is the direction we are building toward at zkMe.
privacy-preserving identity, selective disclosure,
verifiable credentials, and agent authorization infrastructure that can support policy checks, TEE-backed execution, and auditable flows.
🧵 11/12
If this recovery flow is accurate, the scary part is not simply that one AI fooled another AI.
It is that account recovery became the final judge of identity, ownership, and access, while relying on a signal that can now be cheaply spoofed.
A selfie video may help with UX. It should not carry the whole trust model.
High-value accounts need stronger recovery logic: proof of account control, proof of authorization, risk-based escalation, and a path to human review when the system is about to transfer ownership.
The bigger lesson is simple: digital identity should move away from "does this look like you?" and toward "can you prove the specific claim?"
That claim might be ownership. Eligibility. Delegated authority. Recovery rights.
And it should be proven with as little raw personal data as possible.
Today Instagram had this massive exploit where hackers were just stealing rare handles left and right. Hundreds of accounts gone.
People losing handles they’ve owned since 2010, some worth hundreds of thousands.
I own a few rare ones so I was actually stressed watching this happen in real time, which I haven’t been in years.
Obama White House account got hit.
These aren’t some random new accounts, these are verified, locked down accounts and they still got compromised.
The thing is the exploit is so simple it’s almost funny. Attacker goes to Forgot Password, says their account is hacked, turns on a VPN to match the target’s location (which now you can find on the about section of the page).
Instagram’s AI support flow asks them to verify with a selfie.
They grab a photo from the target’s profile, run it through an AI video generator to make an animation of the person’s face moving around, upload that to Meta’s AI as proof.
And Meta’s AI just accepts it because it can’t tell the difference between a real selfie and an AI-generated video of someone’s face
.
Once verified they change the email to theirs. Password reset link goes to their email. They own it now. 2FA gets bypassed somehow in the process but honestly I don’t know exactly how, just that it did.
Point is even locked down accounts went down.
Then you try to recover your account and you’re talking to a chatbot that has zero ability to help.
You can’t escalate to a human. You’re just stuck. Your asset is gone and there’s no one to call.
The whole thing just highlighted how stupid it is to automate account security without any human in the loop.
One AI fooling another AI while there’s literally no person anywhere to catch it.
Meta took hours to even acknowledge it while accounts were getting stolen every minute.
Now thankfully it’s patched but I don’t think it will be the last one. Stay safe!
@yo_itsmatt Privacy is one layer. Agents also need verifiable identity, authorization, and auditability.
The real unlock is proving what an agent is allowed to do without exposing the raw identity or credential data behind it.
We are building toward this at zkMe.
AI agents will need privacy, but privacy alone is not the full stack.
If agents are going to access services, hold credentials, or initiate payments, they also need verifiable identity and scoped authorization.
The question is not just "can this agent act?"
It is "who is it acting for, what is it allowed to do, and what can be proven without exposing raw data?"
That is the layer we believe needs to be built for agentic finance.
A user gets verified once.
Then copies of their data quietly end up in more places than they expected.
That is the part identity verification needs to fix.
