According to Cointelegraph, on August 23rd, Parity Technologies, the parent company of Polkadot, plans to launch a Web3 identity verification solution called Proof-of-Ink. The solution generates tattoos using a unique algorithm to prove a user's digital citizenship, aiming to solve a key obstacle faced by the widespread adoption of Web3. Gavin Wood, co-founder of Ethereum, Polkadot, and Kusama, revealed at the Berlin Web3 conference that Proof-of-Ink is planned to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2024. The system will require users to tattoo a unique pattern generated by the algorithm on a specific part of their body as proof of their digital identity. Each tattoo design is created based on a random number generated by the blockchain, ensuring the uniqueness of each user. In addition to Proof-of-Ink, Wood revealed that two other digital identity solutions are currently in development and are expected to be launched next year, but no specific details were disclosed.
