The City of Buenos Aires integrates QuarkID, a ZKsync-powered decentralized digital identity solution, into its miBA platform, making it the first city to implement blockchain and zero-knowledge cryptography for self-sovereign digital identities. Residents now have control over their personal data through secure and transparent digital identity management.

QuarkID allows citizens to access, store, and share verified credentials securely, giving them ownership and control over their personal data. Zero-knowledge proofs ensure privacy by revealing only necessary information. With an open-source framework scalable to other organizations, QuarkID transforms government services through blockchain technology, setting a new standard for digital identity management.

Empowering citizens to securely own their data, Buenos Aires pioneers in safeguarding personal information through advanced cryptographic proofs. QuarkID, now integrated into miBA, offers over 60 digital documents and certificates to users, with plans to expand to additional credentials. The open-source protocol is welcoming developers and enterprises to contribute to its growth, positioning itself as a Digital Public Good for secure digital identity management.
