This blog covers progress across Human Passport, Human Network, and Human Wallet — including key partnerships, campaigns, and updates from the broader human.tech ecosystem
human.tech
As our open framework for human flourishing, human.tech launched campaigns and collaborations to operationalize privacy, key ownership, and digital personhood. In this section, we share highlights across cultural initiatives and ecosystem partnerships built on top of the human.tech suite of products.
Campaigns
In Q2, we worked intensively to prepare the launch of our cultural campaign and to establish the foundation for the Human Passport user rewards program set to start early in Q3 of 2025.
HUMN onchain SUMR
It’s been brewing for a while, and now we finally reveal the big plan: this SUMR, we are launching the HUMN Points program, with the intention to reward verified HUMN presence onchain.
Season 1 of the program is about to begin, and it’s going to be focused on Human Passport. If you’ve used Human Passport before, you’re in a good spot — we are rewarding early adopters with a 2x Multiplier for their future HUMN Points collection.
The campaign will go live soon. Updates will be posted across our social media.
The Manifestation Campaign
This quarter, we launched the Manifestation Campaign, a three-month cultural initiative exploring how natural digital rights and human-aligned technology can shape the future.
The campaign, part of our ongoing work on the Covenant of Humanistic Technology, began with an opening digital exhibition featuring artists Idil, Infiniteyay, and Panaviscope interpreting these themes through their own lens.
We're currently seeking early partners to contribute to the Covenant by helping draft the principles that guide human-aligned technology and contribute essays, technical work, illustrations, artistic interpretations, and applications of human.tech. You’re invited to join us!
human.talk interview series
Alongside the campaign, we released the first episode of the human.talk interview series, featuring conversations with builders and researchers shaping identity, privacy, and governance in web3. The first episode featured scientist and data commons advocate, David Dao.
Partnerships & Collaborations
This quarter, we fostered high-impact partnerships to bring human.tech’s infrastructure into real-world use cases.
human.tech × Refunite
We continued development of Relay ID, a privacy-preserving identity layer for displaced populations to enable direct aid distribution through social attestation and group membership.
human.tech × Ika
Proof of Clean Hands went live on Sui, as Ika uses Clean Hands for a compliant airdrop to verify high-value recipients using zero-knowledge proofs.
human.tech × Stellar
We secured a Stellar Community Fund grant to expand human.tech’s Human Key infrastructure to Stellar, supporting ZKID, wallet onboarding, and stablecoin disbursement through Refunite’s network of over 150 million people in Africa.
human.tech × Aztec
The Human Bridge is now live on the Aztec testnet, connecting privacy-preserving on-chain identity with zero-knowledge infrastructure. In the bridging process, you exchange testUSDC on Ethereum to cUSDC (Clean USDC) on Aztec.
What’s Clean USDC? It’s the funding bridged with security that the entities performing the bridge process:
For all transfers: verified humans = score 20+ on Human Passport app
For transfers above $1,000: not on the sanctions list = generated Proof of Clean Hands
→ Try it: bridge.human.tech→ Learn how: Human Bridge tutorial
human.tech × Funding the Commons
We continued our collaboration to explore regenerative and identity-aware financial systems. Very aligned with our goals, we are looking forward to collaborating further during the next FtC event, this November in Buenos Aires!
Events & Gatherings
We connected with communities and builders at events, showcasing our work and seeking collaborators for human-aligned technology.
ETHDam (Amsterdam)
Our co-founder, Shady El Damaty, spoke at ETHDam about digital rights, verified identity, and the journey from neuroscience to decentralized governance. What was it like? You can listen to the full talk below.
Community Picnic in Vondelpark (Amsterdam)
We also hosted a community picnic in Vondelpark, a relaxed afternoon with snacks, Human Passport demos, and open conversations about what it means to be human in the age of AI. We loved it, and we’ve heard many attendees loved it too.
Paris Blockchain Week
It was a chance to meet teams from across the globe, and we took it, sharing updates on the Human Passport, privacy-preserving infrastructure, and the work of the Holonym Foundation.
If you missed meeting us first half of 2025, we’re prepping for Buenos Aires later in Q4.
No Panels. No Pitchdecks. Just Humans (Paris)
During Paris Blockchain Week, we brought together founders, collaborators, and friends of human.tech for an off-the-record evening. No slides, no pitches, chillout vibes instead. We gathered for a conversation about identity, privacy, d/acc, and what comes next.
Berlin Blockchain Week
We were present at a stream of events during the 3-week-long blockchain week in Berlin. Among others, we attended and sponsored the Funding the Commons conference, partnered with Web3 Privacy Now for their hackathon, attended Protocol Berg, and co-hosted LUKSO Sundowner.
It was fun!
Human Key from Heartbeat Workshop
During Funding the Commons and Web3 Privacy Now, one of the Covenant community members, AJ (@syncrograph), gave a live demo explaining how bio signals, like ECG, can be used to identify unique humans.
As an interactive piece, participants could volunteer to have their heart data measured and see how their heartcode related to a set of reference recordings from anonymous individuals. Each also received a personalized sticker of their heartcode as a souvenir from the workshop.
Proof of Talk
We sponsored and attended this gathering of leaders shaping the future of web3, governance, and digital trust. Our Lead Cryptographer, Louis Tajan, and CBO, Angelica Vidal, connected with builders, thinkers, and policymakers working toward a more human internet.
ETHCC Cannes
Despite short attendance of just 24h, our CMO Yan Ketelers had a great turnover of interesting discussions. Looking forward to the follow-ups of the conversations!
Human Passport
Having built a time-tested Sybil protection infrastructure for web3 and been in the trenches with bots, Human Passport continued to advance this quarter through new product updates, active campaigns, and ecosystem collaborations.
Product Updates
Human Passport Live on Base
Human Passport is now fully supported on Base, with Sybil detection models, Stamps, and data services live. Builders can now integrate Passport natively across the Base ecosystem.
New Stamp: Proof of Clean Hands (PoCH)
A new Stamp was launched this June! The PoCH Stamp allows users to prove they’ve never used a wallet tied to fraudulent activity. It’s an onchain compliance check for facilitating private transactions, high-value reward distribution, and other use cases..
New Stamp: Biometrics
We’ve recently released a new Biometric Stamp, powered by human.tech. The new 3D liveness check credential is to replace the Civic Stamp that is retiring from Passport duty.
In Preparation: zkEmail
We are working on releasing a new Stamp soon, allowing to prove humanity from real-life activities, like purchasing groceries, books, or booking a ride! More information to be shared soon.
Docs update
Our DevRel and Customer Success Lead, Daniel, made sure docs are well structured and organized. We are going to implement further improvements to the human.tech docs as a whole later this year.
Human ID integration in Progress
We are steadily adding Human ID products into the Passport backend, with Proof of Clean Hands, Phone Verification, and Biometrics already supported.
Passport Embed: Access for Partners
Partners can now request early access to test Embed to allow users to prove humanity without leaving their own frontend interface.
New UI for Human Passport
We are working on the fresh new UI for the Passport app, that will better match our new identity and branding. Expect the changes to launch early in Q3.
Campaigns
Human Passport x LayerEdge
In April, LayerEdge fully integrated zkPass and Human Passport to power its Proof of Humanity system on testnet. The result: over 500,000 verified humans and 1 million attestations, demonstrating real-world scale for Sybil-resistant community building via zk-powered identity and on-chain point locking

Human Network
The Human Network is the bedrock of human.tech, decentralizing the backend of the core stack and ensuring security. This quarter, Human Network onboarded new operators, strengthened economic security, and maintained high throughput and uptime. The network is on track to scale for real-world use cases, where anyone with an internet connection can reliably derive Human Keys.
Product Updates
The Human Network continued to mature as the shared backend powering proof of personhood and key generation for wallets across the human.tech ecosystem.
Infrastructure improvements
We made steady progress on decentralization and resiliency. This included onboarding new node operators and increasing redundancy across the network. As of this quarter, $3.4B in restaked assets secure the Human Network via EigenLayer and Symbiotic, with 27 nodes operated by 21 operators.
3 internal nodes
10 nodes secured on EigenLayer (incl. top 1 EigenYields)
14 nodes secured on Symbiotic (incl. top 5)
Credential migration from Human Passport
We’ve begun migrating Human Passport credentials to the Human Network, enabling a more unified, verifiable backend for apps using proof of personhood. As of this quarter, the Network now computes ~50% of all Passport credentials, at a daily rate of around 7,000.
Human Key throughput
With continued scaling, the Network now supports the generation of up to 1 Human Key every 48 seconds, and it’s only accepting 10% of requests. 378k requests were processed in total so far.
Improved network security
Restaking has been part of the Human Network’s foundation from day one, and this quarter, more contributors joined by restaking assets through Symbiotic or EigenLayer. These restakers help secure the Network by backing its validators with economic weight.
We also welcomed Alchemy as a validator operator, adding further reliability and professional infrastructure to the network.
Publicity & Mentions
We’ve been called out — in a good way
As the Human Network grows, more builders are taking notice. This quarter, we saw organic mentions and shoutouts from developers and researchers recognizing its role in Sybil resistance and infrastructure design. From onchain identity conversations to validator decentralization debates, the Human Network is increasingly part of the broader conversation.
