Build 'DecentralVerif'—a blockchain-based, privacy-preserving age verification system for decentralized social networks. The platform would use ZKPs and decentralized identity standards (DIDs) to verify age without storing personal data, provide 'Compliance Nodes' for platforms to integrate age verification, and offer a 'Regulatory Compliance Dashboard' for auditors.

The Workflow Friction
Decentralized social networks struggle to comply with age verification laws without centralized control. Current solutions are either non-compliant or too invasive. The cost of non-compliance includes platform shutdowns and legal penalties.
