Prenetics, Humanity Protocol partner for DNA ID

Prenetics Global Limited has formed a partnership with Humanity Protocol to improve decentralized identity verification using genomics.

The collaboration will incorporate Prenetics’ CircleDNA service to provide blockchain-based Proof of Personhood credentials through DNA testing and zero-knowledge proof technology.

As part of this initiative, Prenetics has established a Crypto Strategic Reserve.

The reserve includes US$1 million in $H tokens, US$250,000 in bitcoin, and US$250,000 in solana, with plans to review these investments quarterly.

In this partnership, Prenetics will serve as an Identity Validator for Humanity Protocol.
