Humanity wallet

What is Humanity (H)?

Humanity Protocol is an identity network built around one question: is the account on the other side a real, unique person? It answers it with a palm scan. A user scans their palm in the Humanity app and the network issues a Human ID, a credential that proves uniqueness without publishing the biometric itself; zero-knowledge proofs let a person show "I am one verified human" to an application without revealing who they are. H is the token of that network: it pays for credential checks, is staked by the validators who issue credentials, and serves as gas on Humanity Protocol's own chain.

For a holder, the practical point is where the coin sits. The H you buy on an exchange and withdraw is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. It is not a coin on Humanity's own chain: getting it there means a bridge, and what comes out on the other side is a different balance on a different network. On Ethereum the token moves like any ERC-20: every transfer burns ETH for gas, not H, so a wallet with H and no ETH cannot send it.

Supported networks in Tangem (1): Ethereum. In Tangem the ERC-20 H and the ETH that pays for moving it live under the same address in one wallet, and a transfer is signed by tapping the card to the phone. For a token most holders move rarely and keep for the identity network's utility rather than for daily payments, a cold key with a ready gas balance next to it covers everything, and there is nothing else to maintain.

Two things not to confuse it with. Humanity Protocol is unrelated to the older Proof of Humanity registry associated with Kleros, whose participants received a different token, UBI. And the ticker H is short enough to appear on other tokens; check the name, not the letter, when you add it to a wallet.
