World open-sources its zero-knowledge identity proving toolkit

#World has open-sourced its zero-knowledge identity proving toolkit, #ProveKit . The launch opens ProveKit to developers beyond World, following its early-access deployment in World ID in April. ProveKit enables users to generate cryptographic proofs directly on their phones or browsers, verifying details such as age, nationality, or ownership of a valid identity document without exposing the underlying personal data.

ProveKit generates privacy-preserving proofs directly on users’ devices, revealing only specific claims without exposing documents, while offering 128-bit post-quantum security and fast mobile performance.

Ledger faces $500M lawsuit over alleged data breach and crypto theft

#Ledger faces a proposed class-action lawsuit seeking at least $500M over claims that security and disclosure failures related to a December 2023 incident exposed customers to crypto theft and other financial losses. Plaintiff Douglas Kim claims scammers used compromised customer data to pose as Ledger representatives and steal nearly $1.95M in crypto.

The complaint alleges that attackers gained access to a former Ledger employee’s NPMJS account through phishing after the company failed to revoke their access. The attackers then uploaded a malicious version of Ledger Connect Kit designed to trick users into approving transactions that redirected funds to attacker-controlled wallets, a vulnerability Ledger later acknowledged.

Payward postpones its IPO to Q2 2027

#Payward , the parent company of crypto exchange #Kraken, has postponed its highly anticipated IPO until next year. Payward initially paused its IPO plans in March as falling crypto prices, trading volumes, and valuations weakened market conditions. The company had confidentially filed a draft S-1 with the SEC in November 2025, shortly after raising $800M at a $20B valuation.

Co-CEO Arjun Sethi had confirmed the IPO remained on track just weeks before the delay, highlighting continued uncertainty in the crypto listing market even for one of the industry’s largest exchanges.
