Bitcoin.com has teamed up with Concordium, a Layer-1 blockchain project, to launch an innovative age verification feature for stablecoin transactions. The initiative aims to align crypto payments with emerging compliance standards in both the EU and the United States, while preserving user privacy through advanced zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs).
Age Verification Without Compromising Privacy
The new integration enables Bitcoin.com wallet users to confirm specific identity attributes — such as being over 18 or residing in a particular jurisdiction — without disclosing any personal data.
Verification will be performed by trusted third-party validators, but crucially, no identifying information will be stored on-chain. Instead, each transaction generates a ZKP-based credential, proving compliance without revealing sensitive details.
According to Bitcoin.com CEO Corbin Fraser, such features represent an essential step toward scaling the crypto economy responsibly:
“Privacy-preserving compliance is the future of digital payments. It helps build trust with regulators while protecting the freedom of users,” Fraser said.
A Response to Global Regulation Trends
The initiative reflects growing regulatory pressure to implement age-based restrictions on digital asset transactions. Earlier this year, Concordium launched a ZKP-powered age verification app, already integrated by Coin98 and Safle.
By partnering with Concordium, Bitcoin.com positions itself at the forefront of regulatory innovation in the DeFi and stablecoin ecosystem — promoting safer, compliant, and privacy-focused crypto adoption.
