The wallet app lets citizens prove age, residence or licence status by revealing only the attribute requested. Verification works without a network connection, and the issuing authority says it cannot see where credentials are used. Independent audits are promised.

Key takeaways
- Selective disclosure reveals only requested attributes
- Offline verification removes a tracking point
- Audits will test the no-log claim
