What is Human Passport?
Human Passport — your privacy-preserving, Sybil-resistant identity layer for Web3.
Introduction
Human Passport provides several different identity verification and reputation products and services to help users prove that they are a unique human with specific reputation attributes on the web and onchain. These products and services also help partners ensure that their rewards, governance, and other community initiatives are properly and fairly benefiting the high-quality users for which they are built, and prevent Sybils and other bad actors from participating.
While most users will only use the Passport App (Stamp-based verification), Human Passport also offers additional tools for builders, such as Model Based Detection and data services/airdrop consulting.
The Passport App: Stamp-based verification
You can access the Passport App here: app.passport.xyz
Passport's primary offering is an identity verification aggregator that enables users to prove their unique humanity by collecting a variety of different Stamps (verifiable credentials) that represent activities that are easy for Humans to verify, but difficult for Sybils or bad actors. These Stamps fall into the following categories:
Blockchain and Crypto Networks -- Evaluate transaction history, trust graph participation, and other web3 participation and holdings
Government IDs -- KYC via Holonym, Binance, and Coinbase
Social and Professional Platforms -- Google, LinkedIn, Discord, and more
Biometrics -- Uniqueness and Liveness checks via Civic
Users can pick and choose which Stamps they verify, meaning they don't have to verify any Stamps they are uncomfortable with. Each Stamp comes with a weight, and the sum of all your verified Stamps makes up your Unique Humanity Score, which is then used by different partners to provide or deny access.
A score of 20 or above means that the user is likely a unique human, and should be able to participate in partner programs protected by Passport.
Users can also push their Passport onchain to participate in partner programs that are specifically built to verify unique humans via the blockchain.
Privacy preserving
The Passport app is privacy preserving. When users connect Stamps to their Passport, a verifiable credential is created that proves that the specific activity has been performed by the user, but none of the personally identifiable information is collected. This is critical to user privacy, ensuring that no one will dox themselves by proving their humanity with Passport.
