 <p class="paragraph">However, there is not enough information available about the Human Institute despite being described as “a leading organization.” The Human Institute seems to be a recently created institution to develop the Humanity Protocol, as described on its website:</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="humanity-protocol-and-palm-recognition-verification">Humanity protocol and palm-recognition verification</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">The release described Humanity Protocol’s “User-centric palm recognition” as a revolutionary technology for Proof of Humanity consensus validation. Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, emphasized:</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  <p class="paragraph">“Existing Proof-of-Personhood technologies can be invasive, complex, or burdensome. By leveraging the cutting-edge technology using non-invasive biometrics that lies at the core of the Proof-of-Humanity consensus mechanism, Humanity Protocol is building a user-centric ecosystem that can onboard millions to a verifiable digital identity solution that is truly decentralized and respects the principles of true digital ownership, in the process enabling better equity and inclusion for all participants.”</p> <cite>– Yat Siu</cite>
 </blockquote>
 <p class="paragraph">Interestingly, the announcement teases future rewards for users who can prove their humanity by the palm-recognition model. This is a similar approach to what Worldcoin introduced in 2023 through the eyeball’s scan. In August, experts raised privacy concerns related to WLD’s ID system.</p>
