Verifying Identity with Human ID

The Human ID verification process consists of two key stages:

1. Issuance of Credentials — Obtaining credentials through identity verification.
2. Proving Facts About Credentials — Demonstrating specific details without revealing unnecessary personal information.

Issuance

On the issuance page , users scan a QR code to begin the verification process by photographing the required identity documents.

Proving

In the proof section, users select a wallet address to link their verified proof. Once the user has a Human ID, they can generate proofs of unique personhood, with more proof types planned for the future. To do so, visit https://silksecure.net/holonym/diff-wallet , where they will receive a soulbound token confirming whether their address belongs to a unique person.

Convenience vs. Privacy If users trust the KYC provider not to track their wallet, they can immediately prove facts about their credentials. However, for those seeking a cryptographic guarantee that the KYC provider cannot track them, waiting — potentially for days or even weeks — enhances privacy. This follows the same principle as Tornado Cash or ZCash, where longer wait times improve anonymity.
