Lately, Humanity Protocol has been getting lumped in with World as “the other biometric blockchain project.” While both offer biometric verification and are building identity solutions, this comparison misses important differences in scope, architecture, and go-to-market strategy.

So what’s Humanity building?

How is their solution different from World’s?

Architecture and Scope

While World started with specialized hardware development and later built blockchain infrastructure to support Orb networks, Humanity is starting with blockchain-native credential infrastructure as their core product. Specifically, they’re building an L2 using Arbitrum Orbit. Their chain
