The Polygon Labs team announced the launch of Humanity Protocol via X on Tuesday. Polygon revealed that Humanity Protocol navigates the fine line between Sybil-proofing vs. protecting the core values of decentralization and anonymity.
The project is being developed by the Humanity Institute in collaboration with Animoca Brands and will soon launch on the Polygon testnet. Humanity Protocol will empower developers with unique-human authentication mechanisms, while affording users complete ownership over their data and identity.
Polygon (previously Matic Network) is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications. MATIC is up by 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.9941.
