Humanity Protocol, a zero-knowledge decentralized identity project using palm prints, is competing with Worldcoin’s iris scan technology. Valued at $1 billion in a seed funding round led by Kingsway Capital, Humanity Protocol secured $30 million, with investments from Animoca Brands, Blockchain.com, and Hashed. This follows a $1.5 million investment from angel investors and key opinion leaders in early March. The project aims to enhance secure digital identity verification using innovative biometric technology.
