# Proof-of-Human ID (PoH ID)

A local, non-transferable **SBT passport of “human-ness”** for a specific ecosystem or project. It verifies real, sustained on-chain participation **within that ecosystem.**

***

### How it’s calculated

* **Custom formula per ecosystem.** The network/project defines its own metric weights, thresholds, and level rules aligned with local goals (e.g., prioritize DeFi, governance, or NFT usage).
* **On-chain actions only.** Scoring considers **verified interactions inside the ecosystem** (swap, stake, provide liquidity, mint, vote, bridge, etc.).
* **Points → eligibility.** You accumulate points based on activity quality and consistency. When you reach the ecosystem’s threshold (e.g., *Level 4+*), you become eligible to mint PoH ID.

***

### How to earn & mint

1. **Earn points** by:
   * Maintaining **regular activity over time** (not one-off bursts).
   * **Diversifying interactions** across unique contracts and categories.
   * **Completing ecosystem quests** that award bonus points.
2. **One-time mint.** After meeting the threshold, you **mint PoH ID once** as an SBT. It can be accompanied by **local badges/levels** that reflect your ongoing progression in that ecosystem.

***

### Signals that influence your points (non-exhaustive)

* **Amount on balance**
* **Transactions with unique contracts**
* **Transactions on different days**
* **Transactions on different weeks**
* **Transactions on different months**
* **Transaction volume**
* **Number of transactions**
* **Gas spent**

*Additionally considered:* depth of action sequences (e.g., bridge → deposit → swap → LP → vote), temporal consistency, economic rationality (fee/volume, asset retention), and anti-manipulation checks.

***

### Where PoH ID helps

* **Airdrop & campaign advantages** gated by proof-of-human participation.
* **Quest progression & reputation badges** recognized across the ecosystem.
* **Access control & trust signals** for dApps, programs, and community initiatives within that specific network.
