Alien

Alien is a proof-of-humanity protocol with its own Layer 1 blockchain that verifies users are real, unique humans without storing biometrics, documents, or personal data — retaining only cryptographic proofs, hashes, and Merkle roots via its Continuous Human Verification Protocol (CHVP). For developers, Alien ships Alien SSO: a standard OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 identity provider (authorization code + PKCE, DPoP-bound tokens) that lets apps offer "Sign in with Alien ID" so users prove personhood without sharing name or email. It also provides Alien Agent ID (Ed25519 cryptographic identity linking AI agents to a verified human owner), a Mini Apps SDK, Solana wallet-linking attestations, and first-party JavaScript/React/Python SDKs plus a CLI. Backed by Initialized Capital.

Alien publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto, Identity, Authentication, and OpenID Connect.

Alien’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, CLI, and 20 more developer resources.
