Humanity Protocol Launches ZKP-powered Palm Recognition System<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Polygon chain development kit <\/a>(CDK) testnet was where Humanity Protocol debuted on February 20, according to a press release that Polygon Labs and Animoca Brands collaborated to develop the protocol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humanity Protocol, which Chung Yin and Terence Kwok co-founded, endeavors to provide an alternative to biometric verification techniques like less intrusive iris scanning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yat Siu, executive chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands<\/a>, asserts that proof-of-personhood solutions frequently impose an intrusive and onerous burden on users, unlike Humanity Protocol, which will facilitate greater user inclusion and equity. As Siu composed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Humanity Protocol is constructing a user-centric ecosystem capable of onboarding millions to a verifiable digital identity solution that is genuinely decentralized and upholds the principles of authentic digital ownership by leveraging the cutting-edge technology incorporating non-invasive biometrics that forms the basis of the proof-of-humanity consensus mechanism.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 13, three months after its launch, 40,000 individuals registered with Humanity Protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all who've joined us on this journey towards a more inclusive digital economy!#NFTAirdrop\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> #CommunityStaking<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/H6dMCU5yfs<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>— Dreamplay by HumanityProtocol (@HmntyProtocol) February 13, 2024<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/blockquote>

The foundational layer 2 of the protocol, known as the Polygon CDK, strengthens network security by utilizing zero-knowledge proofs <\/a>(ZK-proofs) and implements the proof-of-humanity (PoH) consensus mechanism to verify identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZK-proofs are cryptographic protocols that facilitate the demonstration of particular information to another user without disclosing said information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nickita Uriupin, the founder of Exverse, posits that progress in privacy-preserving technologies such as ZK-proofs may facilitate the widespread adoption of Web3 technologies. He said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the era of ubiquitous personal data leaks, proved by time, calculations, and billions of dollars in trading volume, Web3 solutions will bring even more confidence for Web2.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on IT Governance's data, 2023 witnessed a cumulative count of 2,814 reported data breaches, which compromised more than 8.2 billion known documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humanity Protocol, unlike Web2 data administration systems, grants users absolute ownership of their data. Sandeep Nailwal<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, the co-founder of Polygon, asserts that the protocol will facilitate the development of numerous novel applications. His writing was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the world\u2019s first blockchain ecosystem to not only be truly sybil-resistant but also to natively integrate verifiable credentials into a decentralized validator node network, Humanity Protocol lays the foundation for a wide variety of blockchain and real-world applications to be built on top.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
