Human Verification
Draw something. Prove you're human. Skip the fire hydrants.
How should we identify you on your badge? (optional)
A name, handle, or label — not a login. Anything goes.

1. Your Badge

Your badge is a small image that proves a human completed a Kalyax verification recently. It updates automatically — you never need to change the embed code.

  • Green → Verified
  • Grey → Expired (reverify to refresh)
  • Red → Invalid
2. Email Signature (PNG — safest for all clients)

Email clients block pasted HTML. Use your client's insert-image UI instead.

<a href="https://kalyax.com/v/YOUR_TOKEN">
  <img src="https://kalyax.com/badge/YOUR_TOKEN.png"
       alt="Verified by Kalyax" style="height:40px;">
</a>

5. Badge Expiry

Your badge expires every 30 days. When it expires it turns grey. Complete a new verification — your embed code stays the same, the badge updates itself.

6. What Your Badge Means

Your badge proves: a human completed a Kalyax verification recently.

It does not prove who you are, your identity, account ownership, device, or location. It is a trust signal — not an identity credential.

7. Troubleshooting
  • Badge shows grey: verification expired → click the badge to reverify
  • Badge shows red: token invalid → complete a new verification
  • Email shows HTML text: insert the image via your client's UI, not by pasting HTML
What we store — and why

We keep what we need. Nothing more.

  • Gesture traces — used to compute your humanity score
  • Behavioural metrics — rhythm, speed, pressure, curvature
  • No names, emails, or identifiers — ever
  • No user tracking — we genuinely don't know who you are
  • No data selling — full stop
  • Expired sessions are deleted automatically
What is Kalyax?

A human verification protocol that skips the puzzles. Draw a shape, and we check whether it looks human. No accounts. No cookies. No "click all the traffic lights." You get a shareable verification link and a badge that proves you're real.

Why does it exist?

CAPTCHAs are broken. They frustrate real people and fold to bots. AI can now generate text, images, and code indistinguishable from human output. Kalyax uses gesture biometrics instead — the way you draw tells us far more about your humanity than any image grid ever could.

How it works
  1. You get a simple prompt — draw a circle, a zig-zag, whatever.
  2. We capture your gesture: timing, pressure, velocity, curvature.
  3. Our engine scores how human-like it looks, from 0 to 100.
  4. Pass the threshold and you get a shareable verification link and badge.
Use cases
  • Email signaturesAdd your badge to prove you're a real person, not AI-generated correspondence.
  • Social & professional profilesLink your verification on LinkedIn, GitHub, or anywhere you want to stand out as human.
  • Beta & waitlist gatesDevelopers can require human verification before issuing API keys or early access.
  • Comment & registration formsReplace reCAPTCHA with a single gesture check that doesn't punish real users.
  • Freelancer profilesDifferentiate yourself from AI-generated proposals on Upwork, Fiverr, and similar platforms.
  • Content & writingProve your articles, CVs, or creative work are genuinely human-authored.

Protocol

Kalyax Protocol v0.1 — Specification & Developer Guide →

Privacy →
The Vows of Kalyax
1.The protocol must never identify a person — only their humanity.
Kalyax verifies humanness, not identity.
No names, no emails, no biometrics, no personal data.
A human is a human; nothing more is required.
2.Verification must be ephemeral, not permanent.
No lifelong IDs.
No persistent tracking.
Each verification is a moment, not a dossier.
3.Tokens must be single‑use and non‑transferable.
A human cannot be replayed.
A bot cannot borrow humanity.
Every verification is bound to a unique Kalyax bridge identifier and cannot be reused.
4.The protocol must remain open, inspectable, and implementation‑agnostic.
Anyone may build on it.
Anyone may audit it.
No proprietary lock‑in, no hidden logic, no black boxes.
5.The badge must be optional, portable, and universally embeddable.
A human should be able to carry their verification anywhere:
websites, profiles, signatures, posts, code repositories.
The badge is a signal, not a platform.
6.The protocol must not require accounts, apps, or logins.
Humans should not need to "join" anything to prove they exist.
Verification must be instant, anonymous, and frictionless.
7.The protocol must not extract, store, or monetize user data.
No surveillance.
No analytics.
No behavioral profiling.
The protocol survives on trust, not exploitation.
8.The protocol must not discriminate between humans.
All humans verify the same way.
No tiers, no premium features, no special classes.
Humanity is the only requirement.
9.The protocol must remain neutral toward AI.
Kalyax is not anti‑AI.
It is pro‑human clarity.
Machines are welcome — as long as they do not impersonate humans.
10.The protocol must be simple enough to explain in one sentence.
If it cannot be understood, it cannot be trusted.
If it cannot be trusted, it cannot be adopted.
Simplicity is the highest form of security.
Kalyax is not a company.
It is not a product.
It is a public good — a minimal, durable standard for human presence in a world where presence can be faked.

These vows exist to protect the protocol from corruption, complexity, and commercial drift.
They ensure that Kalyax remains what it was meant to be:
a clean, universal signal of humanity.
