Humanity Protocol Mainnet Launches, Introducing Privacy-First Digital Identity with zkTLS

Humanity Protocol's mainnet has officially launched, offering a breakthrough in privacy-first digital identity solutions. Through the introduction of zero-knowledge Transport Layer Security (zkTLS), users can now verify credentials without exposing sensitive personal data. By linking Web2 services like airline and hotel memberships with decentralised Web3 platforms, Humanity Protocol aims to create a portable and secure identity that bridges both ecosystems.

Humanity Protocol announced the official launch of its mainnet, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of digital identity. The platform introduces an innovative solution that bridges traditional Web2 services with decentralised Web3 applications, all while prioritising user privacy. 

At the core of this advancement is zkTLS (zero-knowledge Transport Layer Security), a technology that allows individuals to prove their credentials without disclosing sensitive data. This is achieved through the use of zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring that personal information never leaves the user’s browser.

Humanity Protocol’s mainnet launch introduces a privacy-centric approach to digital identity, allowing users to verify essential credentials such as job titles, educational backgrounds, and even membership in loyalty programs, without compromising their personal data. This landmark innovation aims to support a more secure and user-controlled digital economy, where individuals can prove their identity and achievements across multiple platforms without relying on centralised parties.

zkTLS revolutionises identity verification

At the heart of the Humanity Protocol’s privacy-first approach is zkTLS, a technology that empowers users to prove they have access to specific data, such as a LinkedIn job title or university transcript, without ever revealing the actual content. 

The introduction of this zero-knowledge proof system represents a major leap forward in privacy technology. With zkTLS, sensitive personal information is never exposed, ensuring that users’ data remains secure within their browser. This allows individuals to prove their identity or credentials while maintaining full control over their private information.

Enhancing user privacy with decentralised identity

Humanity Protocol’s approach offers a seamless way to link users’ Web2 credentials to their decentralised Web3 identities. In particular, the platform enables travellers to connect loyalty programs from major airlines and hotel chains, including Delta, Emirates, Marriott, and Hilton, to their Human ID. 

This creates a unified, portable reputation that spans both traditional and decentralised platforms. As part of the launch, users can also link a range of financial, educational, and professional credentials, including creditworthiness, degrees, and job titles, all of which are verifiable through zkTLS without compromising their privacy.

A step toward decentralised, privacy-preserving ecosystems

Terence Kwok, CEO and Founder of Humanity Protocol, commented on the launch, saying:

“Our mainnet release turns decentralised identity into practical infrastructure. With zkTLS now live, anyone can confirm who they are and what they have achieved across multiple platforms, yet no central party ever sees their personal information. This is how we move the Internet toward a future that respects both human authenticity and individual privacy.”

Humanity Protocol is also aiming to cater to the needs of developers by offering a platform for the creation of sybil-resistant social platforms, reputation-based marketplaces, and AI applications that verify human identity while avoiding surveillance data collection. 

The company’s commitment to expanding its infrastructure continues with plans to roll out node support in new regions and to forge partnerships across sectors such as on-chain ticketing, DePIN (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks), and decentralised governance.

The road ahead for Humanity Protocol

With its mainnet live, Humanity Protocol is set to redefine how identity verification works in the digital age. By combining Web2 credentials with decentralised Web3 capabilities, it opens up opportunities for a new era of privacy-preserving digital identities. 

The platform’s flexible framework will continue to support a wide array of credential types, creating a robust ecosystem that can be integrated into various sectors, including finance, education, healthcare, and travel.

As Humanity Protocol expands, the company is committed to making privacy-first identity verification the standard, with a vision of a self-sovereign identity layer that empowers individuals to control their data in a transparent and secure manner.
