## About

Based in Hong Kong and founded in 2023 by CEO Terence Kwok, Human Institute, Ltd. trading name under Humanity Protocol offers a digital platform focused on verifying digital identities and secure transactions. In May 2024, Humanity Protocol raised USD 30 million in seed funding led by Kingsway Capital with participation from Hashed Ventures, Animoca Brands, Blockchain.com Ventures, and Shima Capital. In January 2025, Humanity Protocol raised USD 20 million in venture funding co-led by new investors Jump Crypto and Pantera Capital.

Humanity Protocol’s primary offering is the Proof of Humanity platform, intended to safeguard and verify digital identities in an increasingly data-driven environment. The platform addresses critical use cases such as online and offline authentication, cost-effective Know Your Customer (KYC) processes, and tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). By bridging the gap between digital and physical identities, the Proof of Humanity system facilitates secure transactions for a wide range of users, including individuals, decentralized organizations, and institutions that rely on the protection and verification of sensitive information. Key customer segments include individuals concerned about identity theft, financial institutions managing sensitive client data, and online platforms requiring robust user verification processes.


Humanity Protocol generates revenue primarily through subscription-based models and partnerships with organizations that require identity verification and secure transaction processes.


In May 2024, Humanity Protocol raised USD 30 million in seed funding to accelerate hiring and product development. The company plans to launch new products to enhance its identity verification capabilities and expand its market presence in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific by the end of 2025.
