How Yanez Proves You’re Human Without Exposing Your Identity | SN54
About SN54 Yanez
How can an online system verify that you are a real, unique human without collecting or exposing your identity? This week on Novelty Search, Jose Caldera and Asem Othman join Const to explore Yanez, Bittensor Subnet 54, and its work across adversarial identity data, proof of humanhood and proof of uniqueness. The team explains how SN54 incentivizes miners to generate identity-preserving face variations that can test biometric verification, liveness detection, KYC systems and deepfake defenses against new attacks. They also introduce Yanez’s privacy-preserving unique BioKey, a hardware-agnostic approach that turns multiple biometric signals into a non-reversible representation stored and controlled through the user’s phone. The discussion covers: • Why an internet operated by autonomous agents needs a reliable human trust layer • How Yanez evolved from financial-crime compliance into proof of humanhood • Generating adversarial identities without changing the underlying person • Testing liveness and deepfake-detection systems with Bittensor miners • Why novelty mining rewards new attacks rather than repeated high scores • Building a proof-of-uniqueness registry • Yanez’s differences from World and hardware-dependent biometric systems • Sybil resistance, privacy, timelock encryption and drand • How SN54 collaborates with BitMind, Bitsec and the wider Bittensor ecosystem Featuring: Jose Caldera // Founder and CEO, Yanez Asem Othman // Yanez Hosted by Const Learn more: Yanez https://www.yanez.ai/ Yanez on X https://x.com/yanez__ai SN54 GitHub https://github.com/yanez-compliance/MIID-subnet Proof of Humanhood research hub https://proofofhumanhood.link/ SN54 dashboard https://tao-ui-dashboard.yanez.ai/ Explore SN54 https://www.tao.app/subnets/54 Bittensor https://bittensor.com/ Novelty Search explores the people, incentive mechanisms and digital commodities emerging across the Bittensor ecosystem. 00:00 Introduction 01:52 Bittensor subnets built for autonomous agents 03:23
