Humanity International Investments Hits Major Milestones in Digital Identity with the Humanity Protocol Initiative
DUBAI, UAE, March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Humanity International Investments announces significant milestones in its innovative Humanity Protocol initiative. Over 40,000 NFTs have been claimed to date, showcasing the project making remarkable strides in digital identity and blockchain technology integration.
Humanity International Investments, under the Chairmanship of His Highness, Sheikh Marwan bin Mohamed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, launched a blockchain-based economic empowerment initiative, the Humanity Protocol, and strategically partnered with BIO-key (Nasdaq: BKYI), a leader in Identity and Access Management solutions including biometric palm scan authentication.
This collaboration will enable individuals, particularly in Africa, to authenticate their identities through a palm scan to securely claim their digital footprint through a Non-Fungible Token (NFT). The innovative approach not only enhances security and privacy in digital transactions but empowers individuals by providing them with a verified and immutable digital identity, marking a significant step forward in the integration of biometric technology with blockchain for identity verification. To date, the partnership has already garnered approximately 15,000 palm scans with plans to verify each of the current registered users.
"This milestone demonstrates our commitment to revolutionizing digital identity in Africa and beyond, made possible by our partnership with BIO-key, a leading biometric technology provider," said Aly Ramji, General Partner of Humanity International Investments.
The initiative has expanded to include a groundbreaking Community Staking program, engineered to function as a comprehensive ecosystem where Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) represent the identity of participants. Each NFT assigns a unique digital identity to each user but also facilitates a direct and transparent method for distributing economic returns.
With over 40,000 unique registered users across 94 countries, with a significant footprint in Nigeria, Kenya, and Vietnam, the Humanity Protocol demonstrates a sustainable model where community stakers back each participant. This backing is not just financial; it's a vote of confidence in the individuals' ability to contribute to and thrive within the digital economy.
"This innovative program is designed to provide financial benefits to participants, fostering a robust and financially inclusive community to those at the bottom of the pyramid across Africa and Asia", said Ramji.
The Humanity Protocol is pioneering a digital identity revolution, leveraging the potential of Africa's young and rapidly urbanizing population to ensure broader access to the decentralized digital economy. The community staking program is Humanity International Investment's commitment to inclusivity and security in the digital space.
