Now, a new partnership has me wondering: could the same thing happen with digital identity? Could Africa do the impossible and leapfrog the West...
The rise of digital identity verification in real estate isn’t just about stopping criminals. It's about rebuilding something far more fragile: trust. The future of the one platform on which every successful transaction, every vibrant community, and yes, every safe and sound home rests today. And frankly, that foundation is...
Let’s face it – are you not sick of identity theft alerting? We all are. So, every two weeks, a Fortune 500 company announces a new data breach of at least 1.5 million records. Now, your Social Security Number (SSN) might be in circulation on the dark web like an...
T-Mobile’s newfound adoption of CLEAR’s biometric authentication system, CLEAR1, sounds like a leap into the future. A future where lost passwords and easily phished hard-to-recall PINs are just a memory from days long past. The promise is tantalizing: enhanced security, a bulwark against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, and a seamless,...
A measly £9,166. That's all it took. That's the price tag for Hippo Digital to start poking around the UK Ministry of Defence's (MoD) identity systems. Now, I'm not saying this is some grand conspiracy, but doesn't it make you just a little uneasy? Interestingly enough, Hippo Digital recently received...

We’ve all been there. Or you’re waiting on hold with a government agency. On the other hand, you’re fighting with an awful website that seems designed to prevent you from finding the information you want. It's infuriating, and frankly, insulting. It erodes our trust in the same places that are...

Remember the early days of the internet? Wild West, right? That’s how DeFi seemed just a few years ago. “Rug pulls” started entering the broader crypto lexicon. That’s starting to change and for the better. We know regulation can be a buzzkill but it’s the only way to find out...
Humanity Protocol opened the doors to its fast and secure decentralized ID service on June 26. The H token saw its value explode following a successful “Fairdrop” to early users and supporters. The H token, meanwhile, has seen a 40% price surge over the last 24 hours. The flood, of...
The crypto world loves a good narrative, and Humanity Protocol's H token is dripping with one: a fairdrop revolution. Yet the promise is unmistakable. We will fight to reclaim airdrops from the arms of the bot armies and restore them to actual, live human beings. The method? Palm scans. Yes,...

While everyone’s chasing the next crypto unicorn, I can’t shake the feeling we're blindly galloping towards a future where our bodies are the ultimate key – and the ultimate target. Humanity Protocol’s H token has skyrocketed, partially fueled by...

The fulfillment of digital utopia, being in touch with everyone on planet Earth through expansive online metaverses, creating prosperous virtual societies? It sounded revolutionary. Now, look at Horizon Worlds. Clunky avatars, digital tumbleweeds, and a...
Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe. But let's be brutally honest: entrusting the keys to your existence to a single, centralized entity – especially one with Zuckerberg's track record – is a recipe for disaster. Well, it’s...
