● Humanity Protocol has launched a new palmprint recognition technology to verify individuals in Web3, aiming to provide a privacy-preserving alternative that avoids more invasive biometric methods.
● Leveraging zero-knowledge proofs to enhance user privacy, enabling secure identity verification without exposing personal data.
Hong Kong/Dubai – February 20, 2023 — Today, Human Institute, a leading organization dedicated to amplifying human potential amid the transformative impact of artificial intelligence, announced the launch of Humanity Protocol on Polygon CDK in collaboration with Animoca Brands, a pioneer in digital property rights gaming and the metaverse, and Polygon Labs, developer of Ethereum scaling solutions.
Founded by tech entrepreneur Terence Kwok and guided by a Founding Humanity Council including Animoca Brands co-founder and Executive Chairman Yat Siu and Polygon Labs co-founder Sandeep Nailwal, this revolutionary protocol uses cutting-edge palmprint recognition technology as a less invasive alternative to methods like iris scanning, easily accessible via smartphones to establish Proof of Humanity (PoH) within Web3 applications.
Animoca Brands played a key role in fostering ecosystem growth and guiding the team in adhering to Web3 best practices, while also contributing its expertise in digital property rights. Additionally, the protocol leverages the power of Polygon CDK to further enhance scalability and efficiency. The founding team consists of seasoned technology executives and entrepreneurs with multiple patents in machine learning—a critical area of expertise for scalable and accurate identity verification.
User-centric palmprint recognition is seamlessly integrated into the blockchain, ensuring ease of use in everyday activities and prioritizing optimal accessibility. Centered on simplicity, this inclusive approach reinforces Humanity Protocol’s commitment to delivering intuitive and user-friendly experiences for individuals engaging with Web3 applications.
The zkEVM Layer-2 blockchain protocol is powered by Polygon CDK and secured through zero-knowledge cryptographic proofs, while integrating a Proof of Humanity consensus mechanism for identity validation. Launching as a pioneering blockchain ecosystem, Humanity Protocol achieves true Sybil resistance and incorporates natively verifiable credentials within its decentralized network of validation nodes. This innovative combination paves the way for a wide range of diverse applications—from fully on-chain gaming and decentralized social media (DeSo), to enterprise-grade DeFi solutions, faridrops, network states, real-world assets (RWA), and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN).
Yat Siu, co-founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, emphasized: “Existing proof-of-personhood technologies can be intrusive, complex, or burdensome. By leveraging advanced technology centered on non-invasive biometrics through a Proof of Humanity consensus mechanism, Humanity Protocol is building a user-first ecosystem that enables millions to access a truly decentralized and verifiable digital identity solution—one that upholds genuine digital ownership principles and promotes greater fairness and inclusivity for all participants.”
Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, shared his thoughts on the protocol’s launch: “As the world’s first blockchain ecosystem that is not only truly Sybil-resistant but also natively integrates verifiable credentials within a decentralized network of validating nodes, Humanity Protocol lays a broad foundation for building both blockchain-based and real-world applications.”
With the upcoming launch of the Humanity Protocol testnet, users will soon be invited to go online and start earning rewards.
Proof of Humanity introduces an unparalleled feature, providing developers with a unique mechanism for human identity verification while giving users full ownership over their data and identities. As the human layer for Web3, Humanity Protocol stands out at a pivotal moment when Web3 is approaching the milestone of creating one hundred million wallets, underscoring its distinct mission—to bring the first billion people onto the blockchain.
