The company is developing palm scan-based verification system for online accounts. It is planning to launch its product in the next few months, reported Reuters.
Humanity Protocol’s Terence Kwok was quoted by the news agency as saying: “The protocol allows people to prove they are human without revealing personal details. This helps solve problems like bots, fake accounts and online fraud.”
With the new funds, Humanity Protocol aims to accelerate the development of its core offerings, including Proof of Humanity and Human ID, and to facilitate seamless integrations with Web3 platforms.
The investment will also bolster Humanity Protocol’s forthcoming initiatives, such as developer grants, partnership announcements, and community-building activities, all leading to the anticipated launch of the protocol’s mainnet.

Together, the firms aim to create interoperable, privacy-focused credentials that work seamlessly across decentralised ecosystems for learners, educators, and developers.
