BrowserID Roots and Revival Catalysts

AWS Lambda hosts verification nodes for low-latency ZK proofs (AWS features page, aws.amazon.com/lambda/features/). Google Cloud and Azure support scaling. Chainalysis 2024 Crypto Crime Report ties 80% of hacks to seed phrase phishing.

BrowserID targets Arbitrum and Base L2s. Users link browser profiles to smart wallets. Ethereum PoS (post-Merge, Sep 15, 2022) boosts ZK identity efficiency.
