zkMe Hosts “Shaping The Future of Identity” Event

On the sidelines of the recent Hong Kong Web3 Festival, we hosted an event for industry partners and investors titled “Shaping the Future of Identity.”

The objective of the event where to share insights on the issues relating to identity and know-your-customer (KYC) in the web3 landscape, learn about the ease of zkMe integration and give more insight into our vision to become the leading web3 zero knowledge (ZK) identity layer.

zkMe Founder and CEO Alex Scheer kicked off the event at Hong Kong’s German Chamber of Commerce with a welcome address and then participated in the first panel discussion titled, “Self-hosted vs KYC”. The discussion was skillfully moderated by Maria, a Director at ODaily and featured the following guests:

• Professor Jack Poon, Professor of Practice (Fintech, Entrepreneurial Finance), Hong Kong Polytechnic University
• Jason Lau, Chairman, Hong Kong Digital Assets Society
• Adam Farhat, Director of Partnerships (APAC), Alchemy Pay
• Alex Scheer, Founder and CEO, zkMe

The panelists covered a broad range of topics and experiences relating to the current regulatory environment as it relates to KYC and the crypto industry, in addition to thoughts on where opportunities may lie in the future.

Shortly after, we were delighted to host Jeff Ren, Partner at OKX Ventures to get a first-hand account of the OKX Ventures investment thesis into zkMe and his views on the industry today.

Next up was a segment from a zkMe client’s point of view, titled “Voice of the Customer: zkMe adoption at Impossible Finance.” We were fortunate to have Seb, who doubles as a crypto lawyer for our client Impossible Finance and a Law Lecturer at The University of Hong Kong chat with zkMe’s CIO, Cecilia Wang. Cecilia quizzed Seb about what differentiated zkMe from other KYC solutions, the integration process and specific benefits the use of zkKYC/Anti-Sybil technology has brought to the Impossible Finance team.

Finally, Alex Scheer rounded off the event with an exciting insight into the future of zkMe by giving guests a taste of the game-changing technological features in development, plus highlighting potential token incentives for early adopters and his views on how zkMe will feature in the data economies of tomorrow.

We are extremely thankful to all of our early clients, backers and partners who have shared in our vision in building truly private and decentralized identities, and we are excited to share more about our plans to become the standard in zero knowledge identity in the future.
