Currently, an invitation code is required to complete the palm print verification process. The invitation codes are released by the official through community channels (such as X, Telegram) periodically, and it is recommended to follow the founder @TK_Humanity or the official @Humanityprot.
Additionally, content contributors on @KaitoAI and Kaito stakers should remember to link to #OKX wallet in the upper right corner to avoid missing airdrops.

Humanity Protocol is a decentralized identity verification platform based on blockchain, aiming to achieve "Proof of Humanity" (PoH) through non-intrusive biometric technology (primarily palm print scanning). The goal of this protocol is to address the increasingly serious issues of identity forgery, bot proliferation, and privacy breaches in the Web3 ecosystem. Compared to other identity verification projects (such as iris scanning used by Worldcoin), Humanity Protocol emphasizes privacy protection and user data autonomy, using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to ensure that users do not have to expose sensitive personal information when verifying their identity.
Core Technologies:
🔸Palm Print Recognition: Scanning users' palm prints through smartphone cameras or dedicated devices to generate a unique and unforgeable digital identity (Human ID). Palm print data is encrypted and stored on distributed nodes, avoiding the privacy risks associated with centralized storage.
🔸Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Users can prove their identity without disclosing original data, applicable in Web3 scenarios such as DeFi, DAO, gaming, and social.
zkEVM Layer-2 Blockchain: Built on Polygon CDK, providing high throughput and low-cost transaction processing while maintaining decentralization and security.
Application Scenarios:
🔸Sybil Attack Protection: Preventing a single entity from creating multiple fake identities, ensuring fairness and authenticity on Web3 platforms.
KYC Optimization: Providing efficient and low-cost identity verification solutions for financial services.
🔸Web3 Ecosystem Integration: Supporting decentralized application (dApp) developers to integrate Humanity Protocol's identity verification mechanism for scenarios like social, gaming, governance, etc.
Funding and Endorsements: Humanity Protocol completed a $30 million seed round financing in May 2024, with a valuation of $1 billion, becoming a unicorn. In January 2025, it received an additional $20 million investment led by Pantera Capital and Jump Crypto, raising its valuation to $1.1 billion. Partnerships with well-known investment institutions like Animoca Brands, https://t.co/EB3I9re7pJ, and Hashed, as well as Polygon Labs, further enhance its market credibility.
Humanity Protocol is at a critical stage of transitioning from testnet to mainnet, and its vision for decentralized identity verification is expected to play an important role in the Web3 ecosystem. Here are several key directions for future development:
Mainnet Launch: The mainnet is expected to launch in sync with TGE, supporting full functionality including palm vein verification, cross-chain compatibility (achieved through LayerZero Labs for interoperability with 70+ blockchains), and developer SDK integration.
Global Expansion: The official plan is to deploy more identity scanning devices globally through the "Humanity Scanners Global Rollout" and attract young users through the University Partner Program.
Ecosystem Development: Humanity Foundation will support the development of applications based on Humanity Protocol through an ecosystem fund, covering areas such as DeFi, gaming, social, and DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure).
Challenges and Opportunities:
Challenges: The popularization of palm print verification needs to overcome issues of device accessibility and user education; differentiation from competitors like Worldcoin needs to be further clarified.
Opportunities: With the increase in AI deepfake technology and bot attacks, the demand for decentralized identity verification is surging, and Humanity Protocol's privacy-first strategy may become the industry standard.
