## Description

In this ETHGlobal Taipei 2025 workshop, Remy Colon, co-founder of Self Protocol, demonstrates how to integrate Self—a privacy-focused identity verification protocol—into applications using biometric passports and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs).

The workshop covers the project’s vision, technical implementation (including frontend, backend, and smart contract integration), and available bounties for developers building with Self. Learn how to enable secure, anonymous identity checks while maintaining user privacy and compliance.
