Utilizing palm scans and a consensus mechanism dubbed \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/ethereum-co-founder-vitalik-buterin-analyzes-worldcoins-proof-of-humanity-system\/\">Proof of Humanity<\/a>,\u201d the protocol ensures unique identity verification within a decentralized framework. This approach contrasts with Worldcoin\u2019s iris-scanning tool, raising privacy concerns among regulators in France, the U.K., and Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>Founder Terence Kwok highlighted the protocol\u2019s focus on user privacy and data ownership. He stated, <em>\u201cWe\u2019re creating a decentralized identity protocol that solves verifiable uniqueness and humanity in a way that protects user privacy and self-ownership of data.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With the substantial funding secured, Humanity Protocol intends to bolster its team and advance product development. A public testnet launch is on the horizon for the second half of the year, underscoring the project\u2019s commitment to revolutionizing decentralized identity verification.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>175% Extra +<strong> $75 Risk Free Bet<\/strong>!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only. 175% on 1st Deposit + $75 Risk Free Bet<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/crypto\/humanity-protocol-secures-30m-valuation-at-1b-for-decentralized-id-revolution\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Crypto News &#8211; iGaming.org ) Humanity Protocol, an innovative project in decentralized identity, announced a significant milestone, securing a $1 billion valuation in a recent funding round led by Kingsway Capital.
