Humanity Protocol has taken its biggest step yet towards fully decentralized identity, as it announces its integration with Walrus to migrate all user data across decentralized nodes. Walrus, built by the team behind Sui, enables robust, cost-effective storage of unstructured data across decentralized nodes, ensuring high availability and reliable performance even under challenging conditions. By leveraging Walrus, Humanity Protocol can now bring fully user-controlled and decentralized verifiable credentials to life.
This integration also establishes a new benchmark for secure, user-controlled, and verifiable identity infrastructure, enabling developers and applications on Sui to access reliable human identity data in real time while maintaining privacy and security.
Humanity Protocol’s broader mission is to bring true ownership and verifiable identity to everyday people, seamlessly integrating with the Web2 apps they already use. By bridging decentralized infrastructure with familiar applications that people use everyday, Humanity Protocol is creating a future where human identity is portable, private, and trustworthy, empowering people to interact online with confidence and greater autonomy than ever before.
Why This Matters
Since Humanity Protocol emerged from stealth in early 2024, it has steadily progressed toward fully decentralized on-chain identity with real-world use cases. Now that Humanity has begun integrating with numerous platforms and ecosystems both on Web2 and Web3, it’s taking the next big step towards turning its distributed data management system into a fully decentralized one.
The benefits also extend to Sui’s global pool of developers. With this integration, those building on Sui can now access verifiable human identity signals directly from Humanity Protocol, enabling new applications that are human-aware by design without compromising privacy.
By anchoring millions of credentials on Walrus and enabling real-time verification across Sui dApps, Humanity Protocol is laying the foundation for interoperable, multi-chain identity, breaking the silos that have limited the utility of human identity across Web2 and Web3.
How It Works
At the core of the integration is a combination of encryption, API abstraction, and cross-chain communication. Credential data is encrypted at rest with user-delegated keys, and Tusky serves as the interface layer that connects Humanity Protocol’s backend to Walrus.
Developers can access and verify credentials through a simple API, while Sui smart contracts can request verification results and receive them instantly, enabling trust-minimized, high-performance identity workflows.
All major components of Humanity Protocol’s credential infrastructure, such as claims data, proofs, issuance metadata, revocation logs, and verification receipts, have been migrated to Walrus, ensuring that the system is fully operational and optimized for performance, integrity, and scalability.
More to Come
This is just the start of Humanity Protocol’s journey. With the Walrus integration live, the team is now gearing up for a wave of upcoming integrations across the apps and services people use every day, from social networks to financial platforms.
By meeting users where they are and providing a safer, more private, and user-first way to manage personal information, Humanity Protocol is set to fundamentally change how digital identity is handled. This approach puts control back in the hands of users and makes secure, verifiable identity a seamless part of everyday life. By taking this major step towards full decentralization, Humanity Protocol is creating a world in which trust, privacy, and portability are built into every interaction.
