How Does Proof of Humanity Work

Proof of Humanity has a modular, upgradable architecture set to be developed in 2 phases, with progressively higher degree of decentralization along the way:

  • Phase 1 serves to create the largest blockchain network of unique human beings

  • Phase 2 will see Humanity Protocol becoming the identity layer of Web3, with the ability to issue verifiable credentials that attest to users’ identities and other private data (i.e. employment and education records).

The following section outlines the system architecture and the roles of key components.
