IDPs (Identity Providers) let you prove things like age or identity without oversharing. One-time verified, then you control what info gets shared—secure, consent-based, privacy-first.
Instead of sending your full ID, send a zero-knowledge “This user is over 18,” cryptographically signed by the IdP
