Humanity Protocol teamed up with Kaito to issue Yapper Credentials, bringing trust to Web3 with verifiable identity.
Privacy-first blockchain Humanity Protocol announced a strategic partnership with Kaito, an AI-powered Web3 information platform, to issue Yapper Credentials, a community-driven verification system.
The new feature aims to address a major gap in Web3 by tying real human identity to recognised participation in crypto communities, building a more trusted and sybil-resistant digital ecosystem.
Kaito will serve as an official Identity Validator on Humanity Protocol, categorising users into three distinct tiers through Kaito’s proprietary algorithm. These are:
- Inner CT – Recognised and influential members of the Crypto Twitter (CT) community
- Emerging CT – Up-and-coming contributors gaining traction in the space
- Yapper – General Kaito users who have signed up but do not yet meet criteria for the above tiers
Kaito users who sign up for Humanity Protocol’s testnet and connect their X accounts will automatically receive the Yapper Credential once the integration is live. Users would also be eligible for a 50% bonus for Inner CT and a 25% bonus for Emerging CT in airdrop allocation, incentivising participation and adoption of decentralised identity frameworks.
A key feature of this initiative is cross-chain interoperability. Yapper Credentials issued via Humanity Protocol follow decentralized identity standards, making them portable and usable across blockchain networks.
Holders of Inner CT and Emerging CT credentials will be able to carry cryptographic proof of their verified status into governance platforms, decentralised applications, and community ecosystems throughout Web3.
“The rise of AI and social platforms has changed how reputation is formed in Web3, yet verifiable identity remains missing from the equation,” said Terence Kwok, Founder of Humanity Protocol. “
Through our partnership with Kaito, Yapper Credentials provide a meaningful way to recognise authentic contributions and translate social capital into a verifiable, on-chain identity. This helps users move through decentralised ecosystems with trust, while preserving their privacy and control. It also lays the foundation for a broader set of use cases where identity and reputation matter, from community access and governance to rewards and discovery. We believe this is a major step forward in building a more secure, inclusive, and human-centric internet.”
Yu Hu, founder of Kaito, said: “Kaito’s Yapper Credentials add a new dimension to decentralised identity by spotlighting social proof of engagement in the crypto community. This partnership expands the variety of verifiable credentials available to users and advances our mission to put individuals in control of their identity. By integrating on-chain reputation with cross-chain interoperability, we are creating a system where users can leverage their credentials in multiple applications while preserving privacy and security.”
