ShardLab, a division of Hashed, a leading Web3 venture capital firm, has launched a new web app that introduces a revolutionary approach to using decentralized identity (DiD) and seamlessly distributing vouchers, according to the latest updates shared with Finbold on July 8 .
Integrate NFT vouchers with ICONSIAM
Following a successful showcase at Southeast Asia Blockchain Week (SEABW) 2024, where ShardLab demonstrated some practical applications of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the new app highlights additional applications of blockchain in the mainstream.
During the SEABW event, participants also saw how NFT vouchers, powered by blockchain technology, streamlined transactions at ICONSIAM, highlighting both the efficiency and security benefits in retail environments.
The integration of NFT vouchers with ICONSIAM’s point-of-sale (POS) systems, which span more than 60 restaurants and stores, allowed visitors to easily redeem vouchers by simply scanning a QR code.
The official SEABW application is powered by advanced account abstraction (AA) and zero-knowledge (zk) technologies and comes with a number of useful features.
First, the app offers enhanced digital ID verification via zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), allowing users to verify their identity without revealing sensitive information.
Similarly, users can seamlessly receive and redeem NFT minted vouchers via QR codes directly through the app.
The app also includes account abstraction (AA), simplifying the crypto wallet experience and making blockchain apps more accessible to a wider audience.
Bringing Blockchain to the Mainstream
Hojin Kim, CEO of ShardLab, expressed his enthusiasm for further blockchain adoption, stating:
“The launch of this application marks an important milestone in our journey towards mainstream blockchain adoption. By integrating advanced technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs and account abstraction, we pave the way for a future where blockchain is not only secure, but also simple and convenient for ordinary users.”
ShardLab continues to work on developing new solutions that will bridge the gap between blockchain technology and practical applications.
The new app thus underlines blockchain’s potential to revolutionize industries by improving security, efficiency and the overall user experience.
