[[File:Humanityprotocol.jpg|thumb|Humanity Protocol Logo/Homepage]]Humanity Protocol is an identity protocol which creates a proof of human-ness, which can be used to demonstrate that an individual is a human being instead of potentially a robot. They do this through a camera-based photo of a palm, which is required to be unique. Multiple individuals have reported that the Humanity Protocol Discord was posting malicious links, and one user reported having their wallet drained as a result of interacting with these links. The project has yet to acknowledge the breach or publish any assistance for affected users. The individual responsible for the hack has reportedly gone on to also breach another project called IO.net.<ref name="shadidiotwitter-15731" /><ref name="legendarytunztwitter-15767" /><ref name="reddit-15768" /><ref name="youtube-15769" /><ref name="ducduongtrantwitter-15770" /><ref name="jadennixxietwitter-15771" /><ref name="humanity-15772" /><ref name="humanity-15773" /><ref name="humanityprottwitter-15774" />

== About Humanity Protocol ==
"Empowering the future of digital identity, Humanity Protocol harnesses the latest in non-invasive biometrics and Proof-of-Humanity technology to create a world where decentralization, personal identity ownership, equity, and inclusion aren't just ideals—they're reality.

Humanity Protocol’s Proof of Humanity (PoH) solution verifies that an individual is who they claim to be online without needing them to disclose any personally identifiable information."

"It's time Humans take control"

"Identity is a fundamental right — and in this current age of data dominance among a handful of corporations and artificial intelligence, it is under threat.

Proof of Humanity champions the preservation of our digital identity amidst these challenges."

"We’re becoming increasingly dependent on digitized copies of sensitive documents, such as our medical records or bank statements.

However verifying details from these documents remains intrusive, involving the need to disclose personal information to unknown third parties."

"Our identity is the very foundation of who we are. Proof of Humanity aims to bridge the gap between our online and offline identities.

Beyond integrating our digital and physical selves, Proof of Humanity also protects our digital identities — a crucial step to safeguarding our rights and creating a more equitable and secure online environment for everyone."
