Proof of Human

Strongest uniqueness signal available. Iris biometrics verified through a trusted hardware - Orb - provide population-scale sybil resistance and liveness guarantees. Best for high-stakes actions where one-person-one-action matters most.

Zero-knowledge proofs

Users prove things about themselves without sharing any personal information. Verifications are unlinkable across apps — no one can track a user's activity between services.

-

Multi-party computation

Hashed embeddings are split into encrypted shares across independent nodes. No single party holds any data, even in encrypted form.

-

Self-custodial

Capture and proof generation happen on the user's device. Your app never receives personal data — only a yes/no proof.
