Holonym Foundation, a zero-knowledge (ZK) digital identity project, is expanding its network through the acquisition of the identity verification platform Gitcoin Passport. The Passport is an identity verification aggregator that allows users to collect “Stamps,” or verifiable credentials from various Web2 and Web3 verifiers such as Google or Holonym.  Gitcoin Passport will rebrand to Human Passport to better reflect its status as a proof of humanity (PoH) solution. Holonym’s Gitcoin Passport acquisition is another sign of growing competition in the digital identity industry, with rivals like World and Humanity Protocol actively advancing the DID technology.
