Humanode combines cutting-edge liveness detection, multimodal biometric processing, and continuous proof-of-existence to create robust and fair market participants in DEXs.

Identity fraud will be reduced when no two different individuals can claim to be identical as the underlying liveness detection cannot be spoofed. Humanode presents a robust identification system for the crypto insurance industry.

Humanode provides Sybil resilience on any blockchain by using a liveness detection proof-of-existence mechanism. So, what does a proof-of-human-existence protocol entail? These are some of the applications and protocols we anticipate.

To maintain the integrity of decentralisation and economic fairness, gamers would have to demonstrate that they are indeed a human behind the game character, resulting in a more equitable and democratic system for GameFi companies.

Public goods have a positive impact on society, e.g. helping those living in poverty meet their most basic needs and foundational infrastructure for all. Humanode can help amplify that impact.

DAOs can use Humanode to create a first-of-its-kind universal sybil defence that can drastically alter standard practises when interacting with one another in a permissionless environment.

When a network lacks any third-party intermediaries to verify identities, anyone with enough resources can attack and take control of the network. This is where Humanode can provide network integrity with Biometric-based Validators.

Since web3 social networks are built on an open codebase, developers can construct social graphs that create reputations. When integrated with a proof-of-person protocol like Humanode, this can prevent Sybil attacks on the network.

With the application of cutting-edge liveness detection, validated participants can be proven to be distinct and human. Based on the “one human, one allocation” premise, Humanode will ensure a fair distribution of tokens to everybody eligible for the retroactive airdrop campaign.

Humanode enables investor identification which does not demand the sharing of any personal information to formalize a unique human (no KYC). It uses a search-and-matching algorithm to demonstrate the humanness and individuality of its participants.

Humanode enables OTC platforms to enforce “honest” behavior and determine transaction “validity” without compromising the sensitive details.

With added security feature in DIDs enabled by Humanode, even if the keys are compromised, not all is lost.

Crypto-biometrics can provide the highest level of identity verification for credit score. It is a win-win situation for both the creditor and the debtor, while also resolving a major issue for lending platforms in terms of establishing trust and responsibility.
