In a post on X earlier today, next-gen verification ecosystem ShareRing announced that its cross-chain digital identity suite was now live on the Cronos blockchain. Cronos is the second blockchain, after Hedera Hashgraph integrating ShareRing.
The integration, achieved with the support of the Cronos team, will enable a new era of privacy-first identity verification on Cronos’ dApps.
How This Works:
Essentially, ShareRing uses zero-knowledge technology to create a decentralised layer where users maintain control over their information and developers can still verify identification information necessary for trust and compliance.
With a privacy-first approach, ShareRing enables zk credentials for integration into real-world use cases ranging from age-restricted content access and geo-verified services to Sybil resistance via proof-of-human and onboarding flows that require verified credentials.
ShareRing is currently providing ID support for users in 190+ countries without storing any sensitive information or customer data.
Why This Matters:
For Developers:
This integration allows developers to create decentralised identities, issue verifiable credentials on chain and seamlessly verify identity attributes using zero knowledge proofs. ShareRing allows developers to test features through a demo and build the real-world use case for their product.
For the Cronos Ecosystem:
The integration addresses the emerging need for secure decentralised identity solutions in Web3 by providing a plug and play system that is interoperable, privacy focused and aligned with latest regulations.
“This is a significant step toward making secure, self-sovereign identity accessible to more developers and dApps across the ecosystem,” the announcement said.
