Aztec Labs Acquires ZKPassport Developer Obsidion
Privacy L2 Aztec Labs acquired Obsidion and its founding team in an undisclosed deal, adding a production-ready identity layer to its stack.
Obsidion built ZKPassport, a tool that lets users verify age, nationality, or humanity via NFC passport scan without exposing personal data. It already handled identity checks for 17,000 participants in Aztec’s own token sale and processed tickets at Devconnect.
Aztec will keep both the protocol and iOS app open-source, integrating ZKPassport into its Ignition Chain ecosystem, which launched in November with 136 nodes.
