Humanity Protocol’s Testnet Launch Attracts 25,000 Users to Join the Digital Identity Revolution in the First 24 Hours
Hong Kong, Dubai, London October 04th, 2024: Humanity Protocol, the rapidly growing zero-knowledge (ZK) decentralized identity project, is excited to announce the successful launch of the first phase of its testnet, which has already attracted 25,000 registrations within the first 24 hours. The enthusiastic uptake in the testnet underscores a significant interest and need for enhanced privacy measures and decentralized solutions in digital identity management across the globe.
Recently valued at US$1 billion, Humanity Protocol is at the forefront of the zero-knowledge decentralized identity revolution. By seamlessly blending non-invasive biometrics with cutting-edge Proof of Humanity technology, the protocol offers a secure, user-centric approach to identity verification.
- The testnet rollout is structured in three strategic phases:
Human ID Reservation: Users can now reserve their unique Human ID, serving as their username and identity within the Humanity Protocol ecosystem. This ID is crucial for engaging in secure transactions and accessing various decentralized applications (dApps). - Palm Pre-enrollment via Mobile App: Scheduled for mid-October, this phase will enable users to register their palm prints through a dedicated mobile app, enhancing the security and privacy of the digital identity verification process.
- Full Enrollment via Palm Vein Verification: The final phase involves a palm vein scan using specialized Humanity Protocol devices, utilizing biometric data that provides unparalleled security due to its unique and nearly impossible-to-replicate nature.
- At the core of Humanity Protocol’s security strategy is the use of zero-knowledge proofs, which enable users to verify their identities without disclosing personal information. This enhances user trust while maintaining privacy. Advanced encryption methods built on a robust blockchain infrastructure are also employed to ensure high standards of data protection and prevent unauthorized access.
Humanity Protocol tackles the growing issues of online identity fraud, Sybil attacks, and bot manipulation by providing a decentralized solution for identity attestation. With the ownership of personal data concentrated within a small number of large tech companies, verifying the authenticity of individuals without compromising privacy has become a significant challenge. Humanity Protocol addresses this with a system that uses zero-knowledge proofs and biometric data, such as palm scans, to create unique, verifiable Human IDs. This ensures that users can prove their identity without revealing sensitive personal information, combating the rise of fake identities while preserving privacy and security.
Terence Kwok, CEO and Founder of Humanity Protocol, said, “The successful launch of our testnet is a huge milestone for Humanity Protocol, marking the first step in revolutionizing digital identity through privacy-first solutions. Our community’s overwhelming response reaffirms the demand we’re seeing for a more secure and user-friendly way to verify identity without sacrificing personal data in an increasingly digital world. We’re excited to see users take ownership of their identities in a way that prioritizes privacy, security, and control. This is only the beginning, and we’re committed to continually enhancing our platform to meet the growing needs of our users.”
Participants who engage early not only secure their digital identity but also contribute significantly to the network’s expansion. The platform’s referral system rewards early adopters with a portion of the testnet tokens generated by their referrals, emphasizing the protocol’s commitment to fostering a community-driven ecosystem.
With the progression of the testnet through its planned phases, Humanity Protocol aims to continually enhance user capabilities and security features, reflecting the evolving demands and expectations of the digital world.
