Self Protocol’s proof-of-humanity is now live in Google Web3’s Celo Sepolia testnet faucets, boosting token access for verified developers.
Identity layer Self Protocol recently announced the general availability of its zero-knowledge (ZK) proof-of-humanity in Google Web3’s Celo Sepolia testnet faucets, aiming to help ensure test tokens go to real developers rather than bots or AI agents.
With Self Protocol embedded in the faucet flow, developers can verify that uers are over the age of 18 without sharing sensitive personal data such as date of birth or country of residence. Verified users can receive up to 10x more testnet tokens in their second allocation than non-verified users.
The testnet rollout will also prepare both parties for the launch of a mainnet faucet in the near future, which will allow verified users to access larger allocations while preserving privacy through ZK proofs.
Rene Reinsberg, Co-founder of Self Protocol, said: “We are making testnet faucets useful again for real, human developers after bots have overwhelmingly exhausted resources across the industry. With privacy as the cornerstone of Self’s infrastructure, builders can claim the testnet tokens they need in seconds without disclosing private personal information.”
Rich Widmann, Head of Strategy, Web3, Google, said: “We’re committed to ensuring developers can build faster with reduced friction while maintaining industry-leading security standards. Integrating Self allows us to further this mission with frontier zero-knowledge solutions that benefit developers throughout the blockchain ecosystem.”
