What is Billions Network and How Will It Impact an Aggregated Web3?

Autonomous AI is getting bigger, and so identity fraud. Fake users, deepfakes and bots cost $30B annually. And as Web3 grows and becomes more fragmented, identity must be verifiable, portable, and private by default. 

That’s why the Billions team is building that solution, on Agglayer. A decentralized crosschain identity messaging system that is verifiable, portable, and private by default.

What is Billions?

Billions is the first universal Human and AI Network: a mobile-first, zero-knowledge identity verification network for both humans and AI agents. It allows users to prove they are real and unique, without giving up personal data. In just five months, Billions has verified more than 2M users, built a community of 550K on X, 650K on Discord and gained rapid adoption in Web3 and AI ecosystems.

Privado ID: The Tech Stack Behind Billions

Billions is built on Privado ID, an open-source middleware and SDK suite for decentralized identity. With Privado ID, developers can:

• Issue and verify verifiable credentials (VCs)
• Store credentials in a mobile wallet
• Use zero-knowledge proofs to share only necessary information

Privado ID is built on Circom, the same ZK library used by Worldcoin, TikTok, Galxe, and Scroll and it’s compatible with any EVM chain. Privado ID (formerly known as Polygon ID) originated from the ZK research team at Polygon Labs, and spun out as an independent company in June 2024, with leaders from Polygon, Hermez and Disco.

In an aggregated Web3 world, where does Billions fit in?

Web3 is a network of rollups, appchains, and ecosystems. The diversity of tech is good, but fragmentation can also lead to redundant onboarding (like KYC in every app), Sybil attacks (fake users farming airdrops) and untrusted agents and bots. Billions is the solution: a global, portable identity layer that travels across chains — an absolute must for a truly aggregated Web3 where liquidity, users and state flow across dozens of ecosystems.

Agglayer x Billions

Agglayer is building the modular, credibly neutral interop layer to connect all blockchains  (EVM and non-EVM chains, alike).

Billions aims to scale trust among humans and AI agents by creating a verification network that is accessible globally, with mobile-first verification and privacy at its core. 

And together, they enable:

• Verify once, use everywhere: portable identity across rollups
• Identity-gated applications: quests, governance, or apps across Aggchains
• AI provenance: AI agents prove reputation before taking onchain actions
• Sybil-resistant rollup onboarding: rollups prevent fake user inflows

Here’s an example of how Agglayer solves for bridging identity across chains:

Imagine you’re a user who verifies your identity with Billions. Maybe you’re proving you’re a real human to access airdrops, confirming you’re over 18 to join a DAO, or verifying your AI agent’s credentials before it executes an onchain trade.

• You complete this verification using the Token Distribution process on any EVM with the Billions mobile app
• The identity issuer (the entity that signs and attests to your credential, such as a KYC provider) who signs your credential lives on Polygon
• Later, you want to use that same verified identity across any protocol in Aggglayer that requires KYC

Here’s the cool part:

✅ You don’t need to re-verify or upload anything again.

✅ Agglayer passes your verified identity between chains, securely and privately.

✅ Smart contracts on other chains can trust your credential, because it’s verified through decentralized messaging, and not a centralized oracle or re-verification process.

For you, it feels simple: You verify once → your identity just works wherever you go. That’s what Billions + Agglayer unlock together:

Identity is a skin that moves with you.

Billions and the Agglayer Breakout Program

Billions is part of the Agglayer Breakout Program. This means POL stakers will be eligible to receive airdrops from Billions (along with Katana and Miden). The program provides funding to help founders move fast and bootstrap network effects around Agglayer. As more chains launch, POL utility grows, and so does the Agglayer ecosystem.

Staking your POL is easy to do.

Identity is the new superpower. And it’s in your hands.

In the age of AI and modular blockchains, identity is in the infra. Billions is proving that privacy-preserving identity can scale. And with Agglayer and Billions, you get the best of both verifiable identity, and verifiable state.
