TechFlow news, Human Institute has launched Humanity Protocol, a privacy-preserving biometric palm recognition protocol for verifying Web3 identities.
According to a press release shared by Cointelegraph, Humanity Protocol went live on February 20 on the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) testnet, developed in collaboration with Animoca Brands and Polygon Labs. Co-founded by Balázs Némethi and Chung Yin, Humanity Protocol aims to provide a less invasive alternative to biometric verification methods such as iris scanning.
