Ben Gelfand, CEO stated: “We achieved record results in 2021 from our Digital Currency Mining operations. The Corporation also posted two consecutive quarters of $1M+ CAD in gross revenue which was earned via the Corporation’s Digital Currency Mining operations which further justified our 2019 decision in pivoting from the Corporation’s former business model into the current one. For fiscal 2022, and which we have already announced, we are aggressively increasing our mining capacity by expanding our operations into the State of Texas. In March we expanded our BTC mining capabilities and acquired 172 Bitmain ASIC miners for our Texas based operations and in Q1 of this year we moved the equipment that we acquired in Q3 and Q4 of 2021 from Quebec to our facility in Texas. Texas provides lower operational costs and higher power capacity than the Province of Quebec. We have also taken a 50% ownership position of a state-of-the-art Antbox which will house 195 Bitmain S19 liquid cooled Hydro ASIC miners which will increase the Corporation’s Bitcoin mining capabilities by a minimum 18.5 PH/s. It is expected that the Antbox will come online in Q3. We are also positioning ourselves to acquire additional Antbox’s which we will make further updates in proceeding months. R&D operations have continued as we diversify our portfolio of offerings and our Bluesky Intel Website Platform (BSI) https://blueskyintel.com has already begun its early release program. The Management Team and the Board are excited with the outlook for 2022.”

Humanity Protocol and Open Campus Partner to Integrate Achievements and Interoperable Credentials for Decentralized Education
Humanity Protocol, the leader in on-chain Proof of Humanity (PoH) and decentralized identity, is thrilled to announce its strategic partnership with Open Campus (EDU), the Web3 education protocol.
This collaboration will redefine digital identity and credentialing for learners, educators, and developers, enabling interoperable, privacy-preserving credentials that can be seamlessly used across decentralized ecosystems.
Humanity Protocol’s Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) framework and Proof of Humanity (PoH) technology ensure Sybil-resistant, verified human authentication for Web3 applications. Open Campus complements this by empowering users with tools to issue, manage, and utilize education-related credentials through its Open Campus ID and Achievements System.
Together, the two projects aim to unlock a future where identity and educational credentials are secure, interoperable, and privacy-focused.
At the core of this partnership is the integration of Open Campus Achievements and Open Campus ID with Humanity Protocol’s decentralized identity graph. This integration ensures that credentials issued on Open Campus are validated and interoperable, allowing users to showcase their verified educational accomplishments across Web3 platforms.
Key features of the collaboration include:
- Achievement Verification: Open Campus will focus on issuing education-related credentials, such as course completions, certifications, and learning milestones. These Achievements will be authenticated using Humanity Protocol’s verifiable credential (VC) framework, enabling secure and portable credentialing.
- Interoperable Identity: Open Campus ID will integrate with Humanity Protocol’s Proof of Humanity, providing users with privacy-preserving, Sybil-resistant identities. These identities will enable users to leverage their credentials in governance, professional, and educational applications.
The partnership between Humanity Protocol and Open Campus introduces new use cases that benefit learners, educators, and developers. Users can create portable, privacy-preserving portfolios combining Proof of Humanity and verified Open Campus Achievements. These portfolios can be used in professional and academic settings to showcase skills and accomplishments securely.
Learners and educators can leverage their interoperable identities to participate in governance activities on both Humanity Protocol and Open Campus platforms. By tying voting to verified individuals, governance becomes more transparent and fair. dApp developers can build applications that integrate Humanity Protocol’s identity verification with Open Campus’s credentialing, enabling innovations in decentralized education, recruitment, and professional networking.
In addition to technical integration, Humanity Protocol will actively support Open Campus in its ongoing conversations with educational institutions. By providing expertise in decentralized identity and credentialing, Humanity Protocol will help Open Campus establish trust and drive adoption of its Achievements and Open Campus ID among schools, universities, and certification bodies.
This collaboration strengthens the bridge between traditional education systems and the decentralized future. Humanity Protocol’s zkProofers will ensure that all verifications remain privacy-focused. Users will be able to prove their identities and credentials without exposing sensitive personal data, enabling secure and trustworthy interactions in education, governance, and professional contexts. By integrating these privacy-preserving solutions, the partnership ensures that credentials remain both secure and portable across ecosystems.
Terence Kwok, Founder and CEO of Humanity Protocol says: “Our partnership with Open Campus marks a significant milestone in integrating decentralized identity with education. By combining Proof of Humanity with Open Campus Achievements and Open Campus ID, we empower learners and educators to take control of their credentials in a way that is secure, interoperable, and privacy-focused. Humanity Protocol is also proud to support Open Campus in its ongoing conversations with educational institutions, helping to bridge Web3 innovation with traditional education systems.”
Jonah Lau, Head of Open Campus (EDU) and Portfolio Management, Animoca Brand says: “Collaborating with Humanity Protocol enhances the usability and security of Open Campus Achievements and IDs. By integrating with Proof of Humanity, we’re ensuring that learners and educators can seamlessly use their credentials across Web3, paving the way for a more interconnected and equitable decentralized education ecosystem. This partnership positions Open Campus as a leader in Web3 education innovation.”
