Humanity Protocol Launches Testnet Beta, Paves Way for World’s First Fairdrop

Humanity Protocol has officially launched its Testnet Beta, marking a major step towards decentralized identity verification and the world’s first fairdrop. The rollout is part of a three-phase strategy that began in September 2024 with the creation of Human IDs and continues with a new, refined user experience and enhanced dashboard.

Testnet Beta: A Step Closer to Decentralized Identity

The Testnet Beta is the second phase of Humanity Protocol’s ambitious roadmap. It introduces a revamped user dashboard designed to improve navigation, track progress, and simplify the onboarding process. The updated interface is part of Humanity Protocol’s mission to streamline decentralized identity verification for its rapidly growing user base.

Since its initial testnet launch in September, Humanity Protocol has secured nearly 7 million Human IDs, registered 10 million wallet addresses, and onboarded over 5 million RWT holders. With millions of transactions processed in the last 24 hours alone, the platform is scaling rapidly to meet demand.

The latest Testnet Beta marks the beginning of a gradual transition to Phase 2, setting the stage for palm scanning functionality and decentralized identity verification. According to the team, the rollout is designed to be iterative, ensuring stability and security as new features come online.

RWT to HP Conversion: The Move to Humanity Points

One significant change introduced in the Testnet Beta is the conversion of RWT (Reward Tokens) to Humanity Points (HP). This transition happens at a 1:1 ratio and requires no action from users.

HP will serve as a representation of users’ contributions to Humanity Protocol, playing a key role in the platform’s upcoming fairdrop—a decentralized distribution of value based on user engagement. Unlike traditional airdrops, Humanity Protocol’s fairdrop aims to reward genuine contributions in a transparent, community-driven process.

For now, HP transactions will be processed off-chain to enhance speed and scalability. Humanity Protocol confirmed that this will not impact fairdrop eligibility, with the transition designed to be seamless and fully automated.

Preparing for the World’s First Fairdrop

The Testnet Beta is just one part of Humanity Protocol’s larger vision. The team has announced plans to roll out additional features over the coming weeks. These updates will enable users to verify their humanity, enhance their profiles, and participate in decentralized identity initiatives.

The protocol aims to empower users to prove their identity, perform transactions, and access real-world and digital events securely. Humanity Protocol envisions a future where palm prints—a natural, unique identifier—serve as the key to secure, self-sovereign identity.

What’s Next?

The Humanity Protocol team is urging users to log in, explore the new dashboard, and continue referring others as the platform prepares for Phase 2. The next steps include:

• Activation of palm scanning functionality
• Enhanced identity verification tools
• Launch of the fairdrop, rewarding active participants

Humanity Protocol is setting the stage for decentralized identity to become a cornerstone of Web3. With its innovative approach to self-sovereign identity, the platform aims to redefine how users interact with digital and physical spaces.
