➥ The Battle of Human Identity in the Blockchain World
With the $H TGE launch approaching, it will be the first token to use Fairdrop, powered by Humanity Protocol's on-chain human verification:
- Total supply: 10 billion
- 12% allocation (1.2 billion H tokens), approximately $132 million, reserved for the community
- No bots or sybil attacks
- Only verified humans will receive a fair airdrop distribution
Meanwhile, @Humanityprot is directly competing with Worldcoin.
These projects are leading the way in blockchain-based human identity verification, each with unique approaches and philosophies.
Let's explore how it compares to @worldcoin in our 30-second report.🧵
...
— Business Focus
➠ Humanity
The protocol offers decentralized, privacy-focused identity verification for Web3, emphasizing Sybil resistance and user data control.
➠ World
Worldcoin aims to create a massive identity and financial network for a billion users. It uses World ID to verify humanness and the WLD token for financial inclusion, addressing income inequality with potential for AI-funded universal basic income.
...
— Technical Comparisons
➠ Humanity
- Employs zkEVM L2 based on @0xPolygon CDK
- Proof-of-Humanity (PoH) Protocol via non-invasive palm scans
- Verified users receive certificates called Verifiable Credentials (VC) and Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)
- Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for palm recognition
- Open source and accessible for remote verification
- No central data storage, and ZKPs ensure complete privacy without exposing personal data
➠ World
- World Chain L2s based on @Optimism Superchain
- Uses specialized IRIS Orb hardware for iris scans and stores your biometric code hash on-chain permanently
- Iris data is not stored but converted into a unique code; biometric data remains under user control
- Employs Proof-of-Personhood (PoP) Protocol and ZKPs
- Verified users receive certificates called World ID
- Limited openness and community governance
...
— Backers
➠ Humanity - Raised $50M
Pantera Capital, Jump Crypto, Polygon, Animoca Brands, etc.
➠ World - Raised $375M
Andreessen Horowitz, Sam Altman, Khosla Ventures, Bain Capital Crypto, Blockchain Capital, and Tiger Global
...
— Tractions
➠ Humanity
- 6M+ human IDs minted on testnet
- Plans to integrate with existing Web3 protocols for several use cases such as Fairdrops, DAOs, DePIN, RWAs, etc.
➠ World
- 10M+ users worldwide
- World App with World ID integrated + Mini App that runs on World Chain
...
— Wrap-Up
The core conflict between Humanity Protocol and Worldcoin extends beyond technology—it touches on the essence of decentralization.
Both projects assert that they empower users to control their biometric data. However, Humanity Protocol's genuinely open-source model embodies the true spirit of crypto: transparency, auditability, and genuine decentralization.
In contrast, Worldcoin's "limited openness" seems contradictory in the Web3 realm, where trust should stem from code transparency rather than corporate assurances. This is what makes it facing controversy and banned in several countries as it might breach privacy and regulation.
The pressing question for users isn't which system functions better today, but which approach will safeguard their interests in a decade as power dynamics inevitably change.
What do you value more: the convenience of a well-funded, centralized solution, or the enduring security of a truly decentralized, community-governed identity verification?
