TON Society, a group that develops the TON ecosystem, has partnered with HumanCode, an artificial intelligence firm focused on digital identification verification. The two companies have jointly announced a $5 million reward scheme to promote the adoption of HumanCode’s novel palm scan technologies across the TON network.
This partnership is expected to offer Toncoin users an advanced and reliable system of digital identity validation that guarantees robust privacy protocols. Ultimately, this will enable more than 500 million Telegram users to have digital identity capabilities in the next five years.
What is HumanCode?
HumanCode’s palm scanning solution is a palm recognition system that offers the fastest, most accurate, and simple user experience, which is available through any smartphone regardless of its browser, camera, or skin color. The technology can identify a person as a human within seconds using their palms while ensuring absolute physical anonymity.
The Benefit of this integration to TON coin users
HumanCode’s exclusive palm scanning technology in the TON ecosystem will provide Toncoin users with a voluntary means for providing their human identity on the blockchain. This infrastructure sets a new standard for the community by combating bot proliferation, increasing user control, and promoting self-governance over online identities.
“I spent many years working with the leading technology companies in the world, creating bots for search engines and social platforms, Now, we have reached a stage where bots present a significant risk to the Web. Solutions are in great demand for proof-of-human. Whilst other proof-of-human solutions exist, HumanCode’s palm system offers greater user privacy protection and does not require specific hardware. With over 900 million monthly active users, we strongly believe Telegram is the tool to deliver web3 mass adoption and we are excited for HumanCode to support the TON community.”
Dr Zhang, HumanCode’s founder
Supporting this assertion, Ekin Tuna, director of Growth at TON Foundation expressed that “Supporting Proof of Personhood protocols like Humancode is a step towards a practical reputation system that has real-life use cases for everyone entering our ecosystem,” He adds that “A scalable, private, and decentralized identity will help to onboard the first one billion users to the Web3 ecosystem in Telegram. We look forward to going further and seeing what exciting use cases it will unlock for the community and TON developers alike.”
What you should know about TON
The TON society is ready to give one million Toncoin tokens worth $5 million to provide incentives for uptake. Members who undertake the palm scam and show proof of their humanness will be able to get these rewards. Becoming part of TON society is as easy as connecting their TON wallet at society.ton.org.
The Open Network (TON) is a globally popular decentralized blockchain network with the aim of empowering many users to own their digital identity, data and digital assets by 2028.
Conclusion
The partnership between HumanCode and TON society is an essential move towards practical, privacy-preserving management in the broader Web3 landscape and within the TON ecosystem against an increasing demand for digital identity solutions.
