Proof of Humanity 2.0 Tutorial: (Register & Vouch)

How to register your profile, vouch for others and monitor your profile registration progress.

Proof of Humanity App

To ensure a smooth and correct registration, make sure to follow the steps and read the Proof of Humanity Registration Policy carefully. Note that incorrect submissions will result in a profile challenge. 📌

1/ Register your profile

1/ Register your profile

1.a/ Go to the PoH v2 dApp.

You will see the homepage of the app with the recent profiles registered in PoH.

1.b/ 'Connect' your Web3 wallet

Once you’re on the registry page, click ‘Connect’ in the upper right corner.

Once you click ‘Connect’, this pop-up will appear. Select the wallet you want to connect.

Once you have successfully connected your wallet, you’ll see the ‘Register’ button on the menu. Click 'Register' to formally begin the registration process. But before you proceed with the registration, make sure to read the Proof of Humanity Registry Policy. You can find the ‘Policy’ button on the menu bar.

Once you're done reading the policy, you are now ready to register. Click 'Register,' and you will be redirected to a new page where you need to fill out and confirm information to create your profile.

Take a look at the flowchart outlining the registration process:

1.c/ Click on 'Register' in the upper right corner.

You can only see the 'Register' button if you have connected your wallet to the dApp.

If you don't see the 'Register' in the top menu bar, it means you are either not connected (check section 1.b again) or that you have already created a profile (you should see 'PoH ID' instead).

PRIVACY WARNING: The wallet address you are using to submit your profile will be publicly linked to your identity. If you don't want your wallet holdings and transaction history to be linked to your identity, we recommend using a new address that you seeded with funds from an exchange.

I. INFORMATION

Before You Register on Proof of Humanity

Please confirm the following before continuing:

Wallet & Identity

• The wallet will be permanently linked to your real-world identity.

• Do not use a wallet that holds private or sensitive assets.

One Human = One Profile

• You can only have one active PoH profile.

• Duplicate or simultaneous submissions can be challenged, and your deposit may be lost.

If You Were Registered on PoH v1

You must either:

• Claim your previous Humanity ID, or

• Register using the correct flow on v2 (with your old or a new wallet).

Do not submit multiple registrations at the same time. Choose the Correct Action

• Renew → If you’re extending or updating an existing v2 profile.

• Claim Humanity → If your v1 profile is expired, revoked, challenged, or you changed/lost your wallet.

• Revoke → If you want to remove a profile before reapplying.

🔍 Tip: If unsure, search for your past profile first before submitting.

• Step 1. Check Your Wallet Address: Ensure it's the correct address you wish to associate with your PoH profile.

• Step 2. Enter Your Display Name: This can be an official name or the name by which you're commonly known.

• Step 3. Consent Checkbox: Carefully read and understand the statement about wallet association with your real identity. Check the box to agree. Don't forget to read the 'Details' tab.

• Step 4. Once done, proceed to Next: Click the 'Next' button to move forward.

II. PHOTO

• Step 1. Photo Guidelines: Read the recommendations for the Photo Checklist.

• Step 2. ‘Take a Photo with Camera’: Use the app to capture your photo. You can crop it if needed.

• Step 3. Finalize Your Photo: Click 'Ready' once you're satisfied with the image or click 'Retake' if you wish to change the photo.

• Step 4. Continue: Click 'Next' to go to the next step.

TIP: Browse through ‘Resolved Claim’ profiles (that means they have been accepted into the registry) to have examples of what correct profiles look like.

III. VIDEO

• Step 1. ‘Record a video with camera’: Record your video using the app.

📌 Your video must show you holding a sign with your wallet address (e.g., 0xFdc78b748d6Bc5f77892f6654ca73426a0D3b127) and saying the phrase: "I certify that I am a real human and that I am not already registered in this registry".

The sign can show the wallet address written or printed on paper, or have the wallet address displayed on a device screen. Make sure it is the same wallet address that you use for registration and that it is complete and readable.

• Step 2. Review Your Video: Make sure it meets the required criteria in the Video Checklist.

• Step 3. Next Step: Click 'Next' to proceed if you're satisfied with your video.

IV. FINALIZE YOUR REGISTRATION

• Step 1. Double-Check Your Information: Review all the details you've provided and revisit the policy if necessary.

• Step 2. Submission Deposit: Enter the required deposit amount. Remember, this deposit is refunded after successful registration or lost in case of failure. Any amount you don't contribute now can be covered later.

Make sure you have enough xDAI or ETH loaded in your wallet to pay for the deposit and transaction fee. If you don't have the amount for the deposit yet, you can pay the deposit later, but make sure you still have enough xDAI or ETH to cover the transaction fee.

The deposit is reimbursed after successful registration, and lost after failure. Any amount not contributed now can be put up by crowdfunders later. WHAT IS THE SUBMITTER'S DEPOSIT?

The deposit is an amount you lock with the submission of your profile. It acts as an incentive for potential challengers to prove you are a fake or bot and also covers arbitration fees if a dispute is raised. If your profile goes through unchallenged and successfully registered, you’ll get your deposit back. If you are a fake or have provided incorrect information, someone can challenge your profile, and a dedicated Kleros dispute will be opened to rule on your case.

COMPLIANCE WARNING: The information you will submit about your profile will be checked and verified by the community to ensure you are not a bot or fake and that you complied with all the guidelines. Please read thoroughly the instructions given on the submit page and check out the full Proof of Humanity Registration Policy to ensure the info you provide is correct.

You can only update information by withdrawing your profile and resubmitting it. There is no way to edit your profile (Evidences are there to argument that the case made against your profile is wrong, not to update your profile with a new video for example).

If you make a mistake in your submission (ex: Displaying a wrong address in the video), it could be interpreted as a malicious attack by the challengers verifying the entry into the registry and you could lose your deposit. Submissions are final and cannot be edited. Be sure to follow all submission rules to not lose your deposit.

• Step 3. Submit Your Application: Click the 'Sign In button. Wait for the media to upload completely.

• Step 4. Confirm the Transaction: Once the upload is complete, confirm the transaction to finalise your registration.

Once the submission is successful, your profile will enter the 'Vouching' phase. Make sure to find a voucher and obtain at least one vouch, with your deposit paid in full, to proceed to the next phase of registration, the 'Pending Claim'.

Here's a simplified flowchart that provides an overview of the different registration phases.

After successfully submitting your profile, your profile will initially be in the 'Vouching' status. To progress further, the following actions are required:
