The Humanity (H) token project offers what it calls Proof of Humanity – a mechanism for verifying that a user is a real person, directly tackling the mass proliferation of bots and fake accounts.
The technology is built on biometrics combined with zero-knowledge proofs to ensure full data privacy.
In an earlier overview, we covered Sam Altman’s Worldcoin project, whereby the technology similarly involves identifying and verifying individuals through an upfront scan of the iris and recording of a cryptographic code.
That token looked quite controversial, and several countries suspended or outright banned its operations.
Worldcoin is now shaping up to be a key competitor to Humanity. Notably, the latter has drawn criticism over an alleged lack of genuinely proprietary technology.
Humanity has traded in rally mode recently – up 150% in May and 30% MTD.
Crypto market experts highlight three catalysts: first, the listing on Bybit on May 20, which boosted the token’s liquidity; next, the mainnet launch; and finally, the broader surge of interest in AI-driven solutions.
In late April, the Humanity Foundation offered investors a choice to either push back the start of the token unlock from June 25 to September 25 and spread it over three years or proceed with the June 25 unlock at a steep discount.
In the upshot, there is a risk of a so-called “dump” towards late June, which could weigh meaningfully on the token’s market cap.
Technically, a mild correction is emerging on Humanity’s daily chart, as the price action slipped towards and breached the $0.70 Fibonacci level, then extended the downturn towards the next support at $0.6055 – the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level.
In the event of a breakdown, the bears will most likely set their sights on testing $0.55.
In the alternative scenario, a retracement to the upward track would require the price action to reverse sustainably and break above its prior highs.
