TON Ecosystem Introduces Palm Scanning for User Verification
The developers of the Open Network (TON) ecosystem have earmarked $5 million worth of Toncoin tokens to encourage users to verify their identities using advanced palm scanning technology.
TON Society, a community of developers and contributors, will distribute 1 million Toncoin to participants in the voluntary proof-of-personhood program, aiming to facilitate digital identity verification for Telegram users over the next five years.
The project utilizes HumanCode’s technology, enabling users to verify their human identity on the blockchain by scanning their palms on a smartphone application available on Google Play and Apple Store. This technology ensures privacy protection and is adaptable across various mobile devices.
According to TON Foundation growth director Ekin Tuna, supporting proof-of-personhood protocols like HumanCode is a significant step toward establishing a practical reputation system with real-life applications for TON’s ecosystem, aiming to onboard the first billion users to the Web3 ecosystem in Telegram.

HumanCode founder Tim Zhang explains that the technology securely scans a human palm by extracting the pattern directly onto a user’s smartphone device, ensuring non-reversibility and maintaining data security and privacy certifications. The system employs a triple-layer privacy protection mechanism, with local extraction, encryption, and local verification processes to safeguard sensitive data.
Additionally, the palm recognition technology not only offers an alternative to more intrusive forms of biometric verification but also has potential applications in combating bots and fraudulent accounts on social media platforms by authenticating users through unique palm patterns.
