Zero-Knowledge Protocol Proves Human Typing, Not Bot

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer built PoHI, a zero-knowledge protocol that uses typing rhythm to verify human intent without exposing keystroke data. The open-source project includes a Circom circuit with 12,500 constraints and adversarial tests. The creator invites the community to break it, acknowledging the risk of fake patterns.

Meridian48 take
The honest threat model and pre-registered falsification condition are refreshing, but the protocol's real-world value depends on whether cheap fakes can be prevented.
