<p>In a collaboration between the Dubai-based Human Institute, Hong Kong’s Animoca Brands and Polygon Labs, the launch of Humanity Protocol on Polygon CDK has been confirmed.</p><h2 id="header-0">Palm recognition technology</h2><p>Spearheaded by Hong Kong entrepreneur Terence Kwok and guided by a council of Founding Humans including Yat Siu, Chairman of the board at Animoca Brands, and Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon Technology, this protocol pioneers the use of palm recognition technology as a less intrusive alternative to conventional methods like iris scans.</p><p>Humanity Protocol is attempting to bring about a paradigm shift in user-centric identity verification within Web3 applications. By integrating palm recognition technology into blockchain infrastructure, it offers a streamlined and inclusive experience for users, departing from the often cumbersome and intrusive nature of existing proof-of-personhood technologies.</p><h2 id="header-1">Non-invasive ID verification</h2><p>In an <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;humanityprot/humanity-protocol-emerges-from-stealth-human-institute-in-collaboration-with-animoca-brands-and-d74b8757e44e" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announcement</a> on Tuesday, Yat Siu emphasized the significance of non-invasive biometrics in fostering a user-centric ecosystem. He underscored the importance of Humanity Protocol’s approach in promoting equity and inclusion while upholding the principles of digital ownership.</p><p>Echoing these sentiments, Polygon’s Sandeep Nailwal highlighted Humanity Protocol’s pivotal role in enabling a diverse range of blockchain and real-world applications. Taking to the X social media platform, pseudonymous crypto trader and angel investor &#64;Bull1shkid <a href="https://x.com/Bull1shkid/status/1759916755558805671?s&#61;20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">wrote</a>:”Worldcoin has shown that there is a lot of interest in an identity verification mechanism in the crypto space. Humanity is applying this to crypto, making it decentralized and more convenient to use. With Polygon and Animoca on board. Proud to be an early backer!”</p><p>By contrast, Worldcoin, which depends upon iris scanning, has proven to be far more controversial. The project is being investigated by multiple authorities worldwide, with the most recent probe having been <a href="https://coinnesslive.page.link/L6Ssdi73zhnQSp917" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launched</a> in Hong Kong.</p><h2 id="header-2">Leveraging ZK-proofs</h2><p>The Humanity Protocol leverages ZK-proofs, cryptographic protocols that enable users to prove specific information without revealing the underlying data itself. By amalgamating Sybil resistance with verifiable credentials in a decentralized validator node network, Humanity Protocol paves the way for decentralized social media platforms, enterprise DeFi solutions and beyond.</p><p>The incorporation of zkEVM Layer-2 blockchain protocol, fortified by ZK proofs, not only enhances network security and efficiency but also grants users complete ownership over their data and identity.</p><p>Nikita Uriupin, founder of Exverse, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/animoca-polygon-humanity-protocol-zkp" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">highlighted</a> to Cointelegraph the potential of privacy-preserving technologies like ZK-proofs in bolstering the mass adoption of Web3 technologies. He emphasized the confidence instilled by such solutions in an era marred by widespread data breaches.</p><p>According to data from IT Governance, the year 2023 witnessed 2,814 reported data breaches, compromising over 8.2 billion documents throughout the year.</p><p>With the imminent launch of the Humanity Protocol Testnet, users will soon have the opportunity to experience the protocol firsthand and begin earning rewards. Positioned as the human layer for Web3, Humanity Protocol aims to onboard the first billion humans onto a Sybil-resistant network of blockchains, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the decentralized web.</p><p>By seamlessly integrating cutting-edge palm recognition technology with blockchain infrastructure, the protocol has the potential to set a new standard for user-centric identity verification, promoting equity, inclusion and genuine digital ownership in the Web3 landscape.</p>
