Living on Blockchain is about removing the jargon from the blockchain and crypto space, disseminating information for greater adoption and most importantly, shedding more light on the women and men in blockchain, creating interesting platforms.
In this deep-dive episode, I explore Humanity Protocol, which officially launched its mainnet on August 8, 2025, with a $1.1 billion valuation backed by Jump Crypto and Pantera Capital.
At its core, Humanity Protocol is a privacy-first identity layer using zkTLS (zero-knowledge Transport Layer Security). It enables Web2 credentials—like your airline or hotel loyalty programs—to be verified and used in Web3 without exposing any personal data.
Forget iris scans and invasive biometrics—Humanity Protocol is challenging Worldcoin’s approach with cryptographic integrity and real-world usability.
I unpack:
How zkTLS actually works
Why identity in Web3 is broken (and how this fixes it)
Use cases across DAOs, airdrops, and onchain reputation
The real questions we should be asking about adoption and decentralization
