In collaboration with Animoca Brands and Polygon Labs, the Human Institute, a leading organization dedicated to maximizing human potential in the age of artificial intelligence, has announced the launch of Humanity Protocol on Polygon CDK.
Humanity Protocol introduces an innovative palm recognition technology for verifying individuals in Web3, offering a privacy-preserving alternative to more intrusive biometric methods.
Founded by tech entrepreneur Terence Kwok, Humanity Protocol is guided by a council of Founding Humans including Yat Siu, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands, and Sandeep Nailwal, Co-founder of Polygon Labs. This groundbreaking protocol utilizes advanced palm recognition technology as a less invasive means of identity verification compared to methods such as iris scans. Accessible via smartphones, it establishes Proof of Humanity in Web3 applications.
The user-centric palm recognition, seamlessly integrated into the blockchain, ensures ease of use in everyday activities, prioritizing optimal accessibility. With simplicity as its cornerstone, this inclusive approach underscores Humanity Protocol’s commitment to delivering an intuitive and welcoming experience for individuals engaging with Web3 applications.
Powered by the zkEVM Layer-2 blockchain protocol and fortified by zero-knowledge cryptographic proofs for networkNetwork The set of computers connected to each other, called nodes, on which the blockchain of a specific cryptocurrency is based. security, Humanity Protocol incorporates the Proof of Humanity (PoH) consensus mechanism for identity validation. This launch marks the emergence of a pioneering blockchain ecosystem, boasting genuine sybil resistance and integrating native verifiable credentials within its decentralized validator nodeNode Device connected to a blockchain, which makes up the network. network. This fusion sets the stage for a diverse range of applications, spanning fully on-chain games, Decentralized Social Media (DeSO), enterprise DeFi solutions, Faridrops, Network States, Real World AssetsAsset An economic resource with value that an individual or organization owns, controls, or expects future benefits from. Examples of assets: gold, stocks, cryptocurrencies, etc. (RWA), and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN) systems.
