Web3 is giving a new twist to what digital identity means, moving beyond logins and KYC to becoming a bridge between who you are in the real world and how you interact with other individuals and businesses online. On Humanity Protocol, this bridge is built with verifiable credentials (VCs). These are tamper-proof, privacy-preserving proofs that you control and selectively share when navigating the Internet across Web2 and Web3.
With VCs, you no longer need to hand over unnecessary information or documents each time a platform asks for verification. Instead, you decide what to disclose, when, and to whom. Whether that’s proving your age, your alumni status, or your loyalty program membership, Humanity Protocol ensures you remain in control of your digital self.
What Are Verifiable Credentials on Humanity Protocol?
Verifiable credentials are digitally signed attestations of facts about you. Think of them like digital passports, certificates, or membership cards, but cryptographically secured and stored in your wallet, not on a company’s servers.
Examples include:
Proof that you’re human (via palm-based biometrics).
Proof of membership in an organization via zkTLS.
Proof of travel loyalty status (newly available in the dashboard).
Proof of completed KYC, reusable across platforms multiple times.
Each VC can be verified independently by any platform or protocol without exposing your underlying data. This keeps your privacy intact while proving the facts that matter.
What’s New in the Dashboard?
Humanity Protocol’s dashboard has just expanded its range of VCs, making it easier than ever to unlock real-world benefits on Humanity using nothing but your Human ID. Alongside identity and referral tracking, you can now link and verify travel memberships like airline or hotel loyalty programs. This feature is available today and can be done in minutes here. This means your VCs go much further than proof of humanity, delving further into proof of reputation, achievements, and more.
Imagine joining a Web3 travel community where your Gold or Platinum airline status unlocks instant perks, or accessing DAO-gated lounges based on verified membership tiers. The credential lives with you, not the platform, so you can carry it across ecosystems without friction. Moreover, you get to choose what information is relevant to share and the information you want to keep to yourself.
Building the Open Identity Graph
Humanity Protocol is quickly becoming an open identity graph. This is a decentralized, composable web of verifiable credentials that, unlike siloed Web2 profiles, where your LinkedIn, airline app, and crypto wallet don’t interact with each other, our identity graph connects credentials across platforms while keeping them user-owned, portable, and private.
This cross-platform composability bridges Web2 and Web3. For example, you can:
Link your university email to prove alumni status in a DAO.
Use your airline loyalty credentials to access gated travel NFT perks.
Prove verified credit history without exposing sensitive financial documents.
The open identity graph ensures your digital self is greater than the sum of its parts and lays the groundwork for one verifiable identity that works everywhere.
How to Start Using Verifiable Credentials
Reserve your Human ID through the Humanity Protocol dashboard.
Connect and verify credentials from basic humanity proofs to travel memberships.
Choose where to use them: share credentials with apps, DAOs, or platforms that require proof.
Stay in control by deciding which credentials to disclose, and verification happens without giving away extra data.
The Future of Identity Is Yours
Humanity Protocol’s verifiable credentials is the foundation of a trusted, privacy-first internet. By combining human verification, credential portability, and a composable identity graph, we’re enabling people to carry their digital selves anywhere, from Web2 platforms to decentralized communities.
And with the new addition of travel memberships, the vision becomes clearer: your identity, your achievements, your memberships. All verifiable, all portable, all yours.
