📝 Hello everyone, I am 𝟏𝟎, welcome back to the #BlockchainDevelopmentHistory project research series. Today, we will focus on (Humanity Protocol).
Seeing the palm print verification of Humanity Protocol, my first reaction was: Worldcoin has competition. But after careful study, I found that this project has a smarter design; it doesn't require an iris scanner, only a smartphone camera; it also does not upload any biometric data, yet can still verify that you are a real person.
👇👇👇
1. Why We Need Human Verification
In today’s world of AI-generated content, 50% of interactions on Twitter come from bots, and 75% of airdrop hunters are witch accounts. Traditional solutions are either as radical as Worldcoin (globally deploying iris scanners) or as weak as CAPTCHA (which has already been cracked by AI).
Its solution is clever; use a smartphone camera to scan your palm, even older iPhones can be used, and after scanning, it is immediately encrypted so that even the project team cannot see your palm print, then it generates a ZK proof, becoming your Web3 pass.
2. Technical Highlights: Balancing Privacy and Efficiency
1. Palm Print vs Iris
Worldcoin requires specialized equipment for collection, while Humanity can be done directly with a smartphone.
Palm prints are harder to forge than facial recognition, yet easier and more convenient to collect than iris scans.
2. The Magic of Zero-Knowledge Proofs
When you log into the DApp with this identity, the system only confirms that it is indeed your registered account but does not know who you specifically are. It's like showing age verification at a bar, only telling the doorman that you are of age, without needing to show your ID number.
3. Supported by Polygon zkEVM
Each verification costs < $0.01, with second-level confirmation, and it is compatible with all Ethereum ecosystem applications.
3. Airdrop Strategy: How to Scientifically Gather Rewards
The project has reserved 12% of the total supply of $H tokens for airdrops, valued at approximately 2.2 million dollars. After practical testing on the testnet, I recommend a practical combination to help you earn more rewards:
1. Basic Operations (Must Do)
1️⃣ Check in on the testnet: https://testnet.humanity.org
2️⃣ Bind your Twitter/X account
2. Advanced Gameplay (Grab Extra Rewards)
1️⃣ Join Discord and actively discuss the project in the #yap channel
2️⃣ Tweet with the hashtag #HumanityProtocol and @ your friends
3️⃣ Participate in the AMA every week and actively ask questions (developers will mark active users)
3. Hidden Buff
After binding Twitter, the Kaito platform will quietly assess your: tweet quality, follower authenticity, and industry influence.
If you become a top contributor (ICT), airdrop rewards can be an additional +50%, while others receive 100 dollars, you can receive 150 dollars, that's great!
4. Why It’s Worth Attention
1. Many Early Opportunities: Just launched the testnet, with continuous feature upgrades, strong sense of participation, and great potential for future project tokens and ecosystems.
2. Reliable Technical Path: The combination of palm print + ZKP has advantages in privacy protection and user experience, and the technical implementation is reasonable.
3. Underlying Identity Infrastructure: Solving one of the biggest pain points of blockchain—unique and real user identity, which will be used in various DApps, DAOs, and NFTs in the future.
4. Strong Support: Backed by giants like Animoca, Polygon, and involved in research with prestigious universities such as Cambridge and Yale, giving the project more assurance.
5. Summary
If Worldcoin is a Web3 passport, Humanity Protocol is more like a Web3 driver's license. It can prove you are a real person while protecting privacy. It combines palm print recognition and zero-knowledge proof technology to solve the uniqueness of identity issue while ensuring privacy security.
Currently, the testnet is completely free, and it’s recommended to spend a few minutes to grab a spot and seize the advantage. In the face of AI-forged accounts and witch attack threats, Humanity Protocol is expected to become a new trend in blockchain identity verification. If you want to take the lead in the Web3 identity infrastructure field, you can start paying attention and participating now.
