Humanity Protocol will launch its on-chain digital identity in partnership with Mastercard’s open finance platform. Its Human ID will roll out for US clients first, later aiming for global expansion for open finance. The protocol aims to expand to credit, loans, and other financial services.
Humanity Protocol previously hinted at the notable partnership with Mastercard’s platform for open finance. It uses Ethereum for its on-chain Web3 identity.
Some partnerships make sense. Others make history.

Human ID is designed for cross-platform verification, using one identity across all blockchain and centralized systems. The credentials will remove the requirement for renewed KYC monitoring. In the future, the ID may be used for crypto-native, as well as traditional services.
Humanity Protocol envisions its use cases to include RWA, neobank services, and personalized DeFi products. Verification includes identity and data, including financial qualifications, income data, and collateral ownership.
All data can be selectively disclosed, using zero-knowledge cryptography. While most Web3 use cases are permissionless, some protocols are trying to sift out users and bots. Humanity’s credential-based access system can be used in finance, as well as other access points, ensuring the end user is a verified human, presenting all necessary data.
Humanity Protocol to use single-point verification for multiple platforms
Mastercard’s open finance features allow the usage of verification solutions. Human ID holders will be able to prove personal financial details seamlessly, after only getting verified once.
“We believe that identity is foundational to the future of finance,” said Terence Kwok, Founder of Humanity Protocol.
“Together with Mastercard, we’re enabling our Human ID holders to demonstrate they meet financial requirements, without spending valuable time on manual processes.”
The Human ID can verify bank account ownership and validate all identity proofs linked to that account. The on-chain identity is reusable, and can facilitate interactions across multiple markets and DeFi apps. For now, DeFi usage is permissionless, but the ability to get verified may boost regulations for the sector.
Humanity Protocol aims to revive on-chain ID narrative
Humanity Protocol is a relatively new addition to the on-chain ID narrative. The native H token rallied to a peak of $0.37 as of October 25, later dropping to its current level of $0.25.
The token is an addition to the collection of assets connected to securing personal identities. After the latest market correction, the sector of ID tokens has a market cap of around $3B, led by Worldcoin (WLD).
Humanity Protocol aims to secure a wider number of data points, offering a user-friendly product with multiple verification tools.
