Humanity Protocol is a zkEVM Layer-2 for decentralized identity that uses palm-biometric Proof-of-Humanity and zero-knowledge proofs to issue privacy-preserving, Sybil-resistant credentials.
The Humanity API allows interaction with the Humanity network through a set of JSON-RPC methods. Its design is familiar to developers who have worked with Ethereum’s JSON-RPC APIs, making it intuitive and straightforward to use.
