Build 'AgeLock'—a decentralized, privacy-preserving age verification protocol using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and biometric analysis. The platform would: 1) Replace ID uploads with cryptographic proofs (e.g., 'User is over 16' without revealing birthdate); 2) Integrate with decentralized identity standards (W3C DIDs, SpruceID) for seamless adoption; 3) Deploy edge AI to detect circumvention (e.g., VPNs, deepfake IDs) without storing user data; 4) Provide 'School Compliance Kits' for educators to enforce age gates; 5) Offer audit trails for regulators (e.g., '95% of Bluesky users verified').
