Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Buenos Aires has launched the world's first ZK-backed digital identity, successfully granting 3.6M citizens access to government services and the ability to verify credentials without exposing personal data, thanks to blockchain and zero-knowledge(zk) cryptography. By integrating QuarkID into the miBA platform, a digital platform for accessing government docs, residents now gain self-sovereign control over their digital identities, with the government no longer having visibility into how or when these identities are used.
