Humanity Protocol with palm identification technology will be launched in the Polygon testnet
The project offers identification technology based on biometric scanning of the user's palm. The protocol team is developing a "less invasive" verification method than iris scanning.
On February 20, 2024, the Humanity Protocol announced its upcoming launch on the Polygon test network. The project team is working on a technology for identifying users by the palm of their hand.
According to available information, this verification method was developed in partnership with Animoca Brands and Polygon Labs. The founders of Humanity Protocol note that they want to offer users a "less invasive" identification method than iris scanning.
The protocol is based on the modular software Polygon CDK. The project is based on the Proof-of-Humanity (PoH) consensus. It allows the user to prove the authenticity of the data without disclosing the information contained therein.
According to the management of Humanity Protocol, the use of biometric identification of the client by the palm of his hand will simplify the introduction of the Web3 industry into other areas of human life. In particular, such a solution can be integrated into Web2, the project team believes.
"Using the advanced technology of non-invasive biometrics underlying the PoH mechanism, Humanity Protocol creates a user-centric ecosystem. It can attract millions of people to an identification method that is truly decentralized and respects the principles of digital ownership," said Yat Siu, co—founder of Animoca Brands.
