A Match Made in Crypto Heaven: Holonym and Gitcoin Passport Tie the Knot! 💍

by

In a world where bots roam free and digital identities are as fragile as a dandelion in the wind, two heroes have emerged from the shadows to bring order to the chaos! Holonym Foundation and Gitcoin Passport have joined forces in a merger that promises to change the game for crypto’s “proof of humanity” sector.

Holonym, the mighty distributor of identity-checking technology, has acquired Gitcoin Passport, the logbook where 2 million internet users stash their proof of personhood. Together, they stand as a formidable force against the bot armies, ensuring that only real, flesh-and-blood humans can access services that require verification.

As the dust settles from the merger, Gitcoin Passport will be rebranded as Human Passport, and eight of its loyal employees will continue their crusade against bots at Holonym, now a company of 30 mighty warriors. Their mission: to make the digital passport more portable, so it can follow you like a shadow, performing the necessary identity checks to conduct business on the web.

Fear not, dear users! Your privacy remains a top priority. The nearly 35 million credentials stored on Passport will be upgraded with zero-knowledge proof technology, ensuring that your identity is protected while still attesting to your humanity. A true marvel of the digital age!

The acquisition will also allow Holonym to challenge the mighty Worldcoin, led by the legendary Sam Altman and his OpenAI. “We’re positioning ourselves as an alternative to Worldcoin,” said Holonym’s CEO, Shady El Damaty. A bold move, indeed!

And so, our heroes embark on this new journey, ready to protect the digital identities of all who seek their aid. Will they prevail against the bot armies? Only time will tell! ⚔️🛡️
