Introducing Gataca Vouch

Over the last few years, industries like adult entertainment, dating, social media, gaming, and age-restricted e-commerce have faced growing pressure to ensure that their platforms are accessed only by users of legal age.

However, traditional age verification methods often fall short, either not being reliable, compromising user privacy, or creating friction in the user experience.

At Gataca, we saw an urgent need for a better solution—one that would provide strong protection for children while offering adults absolute privacy and ease of use. That's why we created Gataca Vouch.

What is Gataca Vouch?

Gataca Vouch is an Identity Provider (IdP) solution designed to make age verification easy and secure by interacting with ID Wallets.

With Gataca Vouch, users can prove they are of legal age with just a tap on their phone, without revealing any personal information. This ensures complete anonymity for adults and minimizes any impact on platform traffic.

How it works?

Users scan a QR code with their ID Wallet before accessing restricted content, share a credential confirming they are above the required age with a single click, and gain instant access—no personal information is shared, not even their exact age or birthdate.

The credential shared is an "Age Over 18" (or the required age) verifiable credential obtained within the Gataca Wallet.

What Sets Gataca Vouch Apart?

Unlike federated identity systems like "Sign in with Google" or Facebook, Gataca Vouch doesn't store user information. Instead, users manage and store their data in their ID Wallets, ensuring privacy and control.

Gataca Vouch is also adaptable for various identity verification needs, making it a versatile solution and opening new business opportunities for organizations beyond age verification as demand for ID Wallets and verifiable credentials continues to grow.
