Privado ID, the team behind Polygon ID, is excited to announce the release of Privado ID Release 7, marking a significant milestone in our journey to establish the most widely adopted open-source digital identity software.

This release introduces the new Privado ID Web Wallet, designed to elevate user experience to Web2 standards while upholding the decentralization, reusability, and trust inherent in Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) solutions of Web3. Key advancements include:

• In-App Identity Verification: Achieve verification 50% faster with our streamlined process, reducing customer touchpoints from 9 to 4 and eliminating the need for external installations.

• Credential Reusability: Users can securely store and manage credentials across devices, ensuring privacy and convenience without redundant issuance processes.

• Integration with Linea zkEVM Chain: Privado ID now integrates with Linea zkEVM Chain to issue biometric-based Proof of Liveness attestations, enhancing verification capabilities while preserving user privacy.

• Context-Based Unique Identifier (CBUID): Each application context receives a unique identifier, safeguarding user privacy by preventing cross-application tracking.

Further enhancements include new query operators for advanced querying capabilities and support for custom networks on the mobile wallet app.
