Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Genuinely production-proven (Aztec Dec-2025 sale, Consensys Diligence + TU Vienna audits, acquired by Aztec Labs May-2026, open source retained) but the documented absence of liveness and the multi-document/replay gaps make it unsafe as a sole identity gate without guardrails.
Next
Prototype the open-source Noir circuits/SDK behind a personhood (not legal-identity) framing; require fresh-nonce binding + add a liveness/2FA layer before any value-bearing use.
