ChainCatcher news, the Self Labs team announced the launch of the zero-knowledge proof protocol Self Protocol, after Self Labs acquired the digital identity protocol OpenPassport.Self Labs CEO Eric Nakagawa stated, "Today, every on-chain project faces the same challenge: how to ensure its application covers unique users without compromising privacy. Our protocol provides the necessary infrastructure for projects to guarantee verifiable identity credentials while protecting user data, without disclosing any underlying information or engaging in invasive procedures—this is the foundation that has been missing in the on-chain economy and the entire internet."OpenPassport co-founder and current Self Labs co-founder Florent Tavernier said, "I am excited to join Self Labs and combine our expertise in ZK technology and identity solutions to expand Self Protocol into on-chain and other areas."
