We believe every human deserves the right to prove they are real - without surrendering their privacy. Proof of You, built by WETYR Corp, is a free human verification layer that confirms a living person is present without collecting a name, a document, or face data.
The internet is broken. Not in the way people casually say it - it is fundamentally, structurally compromised. Over 60% of all web traffic today comes from bots. Automated agents scrape, spam, manipulate, and impersonate at a scale no human can compete with. The web was designed for people, but people are now the minority on it.
Deepfakes have crossed the line from novelty to weapon. In 2026, AI-generated faces are indistinguishable from real photographs. Synthetic voices clone anyone with three seconds of audio. Entire social media personas are fabricated from nothing - complete with engagement histories, profile photos, and convincing opinions. The dead internet theory is no longer a theory. It is a measurable reality.
This collapse of trust has consequences far beyond spam folders. Journalism cannot be verified. Online commerce relies on blind faith. Democratic conversations are hijacked by coordinated inauthentic behavior at scale. We do not have a misinformation problem - we have a verification problem. And until we solve it at the identity layer, nothing downstream can be trusted.
All biometric processing happens on your device. We use zero-knowledge proofs and cryptographic hashing. No biometric data is ever stored, transmitted, or accessible to anyone - including us.
One identity that works across every platform. No more juggling verification badges, KYC processes, or platform-specific trust scores. Prove you are human once, recognized everywhere.
Free for individuals, always. Technology should serve humans, not exploit them. We will never sell your data because we never have it in the first place.
A quick biometric scan processed entirely on your phone or computer. Your face data never leaves the device - only a cryptographic hash is generated.
Receive a verified human badge linked to your anonymous cryptographic identity. No name, no email, no personal data required - just proof you are real.
Attach your human verification to anything you create or post online. Comments, articles, code, art - everything you make carries proof of human origin.
Proof of You is built by WETYR Corp, founded by Mark Gabrielli. We are a small team obsessed with solving the internet's trust crisis. Every engineer, designer, and researcher here chose this problem because nothing else matters more right now. If the internet loses trust, everything built on top of it collapses.
We are hiring across engineering, security, and developer relations. If you want to work on the hardest and most important verification problem on the planet, we want to hear from you.

The team is small and focused on one problem: the internet's trust crisis, where bots, deepfakes, and synthetic identities make it hard to know whether a real person is on the other end. The company is hiring across engineering, security, and developer relations.
The mission is to let every human prove they are real online without surrendering their privacy. Proof of You verifies what you are, a living human, rather than who you are, so no name, email, or document is required. The goal is one verification that works across every platform, so trust can travel with a person instead of being rebuilt on every site.
POY Verify addresses a structural trust problem: much of the traffic on the web is automated, and AI-generated faces and voices can now impersonate real people. When anyone can be faked, journalism is hard to verify, online commerce runs on blind faith, and public conversations get hijacked by coordinated inauthentic activity. POY gives people a way to prove a real human is present without exposing who they are.
All biometric processing happens on your own device. POY uses cryptographic hashing and zero-knowledge proofs, and no biometric data is stored, transmitted, or accessible to anyone, including POY. Because the company never holds your data, it has nothing to sell and nothing to leak, which is why the badge can be trusted without trusting POY with your identity.
There are three steps. First, enroll with a quick biometric scan that is processed entirely on your phone or computer, so your face data never leaves the device. Second, receive a verified human badge linked to an anonymous cryptographic identity, with no name, email, or personal data required. Third, attach that verification to what you create or post, so your work carries proof of human origin.
Yes. Proof of You is free for individuals, always. The position behind the company is that technology should serve humans rather than exploit them, and that proving you are real should not cost money. POY also says it will never sell user data, and the architecture backs that up: verification runs on the user's own device, so POY never has the data in the first place.
