Unlocking the World's Workforce
Content on this page was provided by the HUMAN team
HUMAN Protocol is a new way for people and machines to work together. It provides a way to ask questions that machines cannot answer without human help. For example, when an AI learns how to suggest shoes, it first needs to know which shoes people think are similar. HUMAN lets you ask the question, provide the data, and pay people who help. Companies building services like product search gain new options to create the datasets that power artificial intelligence.
The Protocol enables automated job markets where human workers work on interesting jobs and repetitive tasks are handled by machines. Network participants use HMT to pay for labor via smart bounties and reward validators who provide services to the network.
Proven Application HUMAN-powered apps are already used by hundreds of millions of people each month. Uses include labeling data, protecting against bots, and more. HUMAN is network-agnostic and currently supports Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, and more.
Empowers Workforces HUMAN Protocol tokenizes and makes fungible tasks of any size and requirement to help companies and individual workers — independent of any entity — maximize their resources, using the network to minimize idle time.
Supports Global Job Markets Supports the creation of decentralized job markets in which entities on both sides of transactions can trade in a safe, trustless way, without the need for intermediaries. HUMAN Protocol smart bounties enforce the rules, ensuring fair operation.

* CoinList may in its sole and absolute discretion adjust the parameters of the CoinList website and/or access systems to prioritize access to the HUMAN sale or the processing of token purchases for certain high-quality users with demonstrated histories of positively contributing to token networks, existing HUMAN users, or otherwise evidencing indicia of crypto-savvy future users of HUMAN.
HMT is the native token for the HUMAN network. Network participants use it to pay for labor purchased via smart bounties on the network and reward validators who provide services to the network.
No single individual or entity may acquire more than 1% of the network via the public token sale. The tokens will be allocated in the following fashion, subject to applicable laws and regulations.

Machine Learning AI requires labeled data. Applications running on the Protocol provide tools and connect workforces to dataset labels. This lets companies build AI using HUMAN APIs to get human insight. Millions of tasks already run via the Protocol each month.
Proof of HUMANity Blockchains sometimes need to know if a real person is interacting with them. HUMAN enables on-chain verification of humanity to protect against bots. This enables blockchain-based verification for markets like token exchanges, prediction platforms, and more.
Empowering the Gig Economy Recruiting labor, ensuring quality, and paying workers at scale is difficult. HUMAN enables anyone to publish a job and have it completed by a distributed workforce. In principle, almost any kind of job can be published on the Protocol, with evaluation and compensation managed by software.
Prediction Markets A prediction market can be a powerful tool, but figuring out the consensus odds of any given event is difficult. Accuracy requires quantity. With access to many global responders, HUMAN enables prediction markets to ask a question and get odds on the likelihood of a result, stored on the blockchain.
Translation and More Millions of people work on knowledge tasks that can be expressed via HUMAN tasks, but reaching the right people at the right time is difficult. From translation to transcription, the Protocol allows jobs of many kinds to get results from a workforce suited to the task, with quality and payment ensured by software.
