Interoperability protocol Rarimo has partnered with Polygon ID, enabling the use of its verifiable credential infrastructure across multiple blockchains. Rarimo, a tool that helps different blockchains talk to each other, has joined forces with Polygon ID, a system for checking identities, to make their identity-checking tools available across many different blockchains, turning Polygon ID into a multi-chain tool. Polygon ID had previously allowed identity checks only on the blockchain where they were first set up. For example, if you made your ID on Polygon, you couldn’t use it on Ethereum (ETH), meaning users had to make a new ID for each blockchain. But now, with this partnership , IDs made on Polygon (MATIC) can be used on Ethereum. Other blockchains like BNB Chain (BNB) and Avalanche (AVAX) are also expected to join this list soon. Rarimo is excited to announce a collaboration with @0xPolygonDevs & @0xPolygonLabs’ PolygonID Polygon ID’s zero knowledge proofs are now ...

Criminals have moved away from using Bitcoin for money laundering, with stablecoins emerging as an alternative due to accessibility.
