According to @Celo, Google Cloud’s Web3 testnet faucet is live for Celo Sepolia and now grants up to 10x more testnet tokens to users who verify their humanity through Self Protocol’s zero knowledge proof of humanity, with privacy preserved by ZK proofs and a requirement to confirm being human and over 18 (source: @Celo). @SelfProtocol described it as big news for builders on Celo and stated that mainnet support is coming next (source: @SelfProtocol).

According to @1HowardWu, when AI agents operate on-chain the botting problem could increase 10x as bad actors automate fraud, and he highlights the need for tools that prove humanity; he cites Aleo’s KYA, which uses zero-knowledge machine learning (ZKML) facial detection, as a preventative solution (source: @1HowardWu, X, Aug 26, 2025). For traders, this flags elevated Sybil and fraud risk as AI agents scale on-chain and positions ZK identity and proof-of-humanity infrastructure like Aleo’s KYA as a key area to monitor for adoption and defense-in-depth across crypto markets (source: @1HowardWu, X, Aug 26, 2025).
