This time @0xMiden × @billions_ntwk collaboration marks an important step forward in the practical privacy journey.

On-chain identity has always been awkward:
Either fully anonymous, with little chance of compliance;
Or fully open, with documents, facial recognition, and selfies handed over to a black box.
Neither is very dignified.

Miden's integration with Billions' ZK identity technology essentially rethinks this problem from the ground up.
It's not a choice between anonymity and transparency, but rather proving that you meet certain conditions without revealing who you are.

The current process becomes:
One-time verification of documents and liveness detection → Obtain a zero-knowledge proof → Raw data is directly deleted.
In the future, you'll only need to present the proof:
Proving age, nationality, residence, qualifications—personal information no longer needs to be repeatedly exposed.

For users, this is sovereign identity.
It's not about handing over data to gamble on others' self-discipline, but only revealing the necessary facts.

For developers, it's more practical:
No need to store passports, no handling of private data, no risk of data leaks,
But KYC / AML can still be conducted normally.
Compliance risks are handled by Billions, while identity capabilities become a foundational layer through Miden.

This also explains why I’ve always believed that @0xMiden is pursuing a practical privacy approach.
It's not about extreme anonymity, but enabling finance, institutions, and RWA to truly use and dare to use.

So this collaboration isn't just adding an identity module,
But laying the groundwork for the 2026 vision of "Privacy + Compliance" as infrastructure.

When privacy can truly enter the mainstream, the Miden × Billions step is worth serious study.
