Orange Humanity Score (OHS)

The Orange Humanity Score (OHS) in the Orange Reputation Studio is a feature designed to evaluate the authenticity and engagement of digital interactions. The OHS goes beyond measuring just activity. It assesses the quality of online interactions, ensuring that real, meaningful engagements are recognized.

The OHS takes a variety of factors and sources into account, from on-chain identity to Web2 social accounts like Discord and Twitter. The more sources and forms of identity are provided, the higher your OHS becomes.

You can either create it as a Verifiable Credentials (VC) and save it locally to your devices or mint your OHS in the form of an NFT on preferred blockchain to use in gaining access to communities, reputation-based airdrops, and other activities that require a robust POH.

Here we’ll explain the basics of OHS and how to generate your own score and NFT in the Orange Reputation Studio.

Understanding and Generating Your OHS

The Orange Humanity Score (OHS) measures the authenticity of users and their interactions in Web3. It indicates how involved and credible users are, considering both on-chain factors and identities in Web 2.0 such as Twitter, Discord, and Telegram.

The OHS is calculated based on several key factors:

• Social Proof: The credibility and trust users have in the online spaces they use, from social media to Web3. It not just verifies if you are the owner of the account, but also rates the score according to your reputation based on your account’s usage history.

• PoH: If you have done the PoH verification at other platforms which are partnering with Orange, you don’t need to do duplicate verification again. Upon authorization of exiting POH, your score will be updated automatically.

Verifying Social Accounts

To generate your Orange Humanity Score, link your social media profiles to the OHS page of the Reputation Studio. Follow these steps:

1. Connect Your Wallet: Use the address that you use most for POH or that you most associate with your identity.

2. Connect Your Social Media: Authorize OHS to access your social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter, Discord, etc.).

3. Generate Your OHS: Click “Update” to get your latest Orange Humanity Score.

Once you’ve generated your latest Orange Humanity Score, you’ll be ready to mint your OHS as an NFT and utilize it throughout Web3 as Proof of Humanity.

Proof of Humanity (POH) and OHS Integration

Proof of Humanity (POH) is a crucial component of the Orange Humanity Score. It’s a digital fingerprint that verifies the authenticity of a user’s online presence. POH ensures that the user is a real person, not a bot or fake account. This helps to maintain the integrity of the OHS and prevent manipulation of the score.

Currently, Orange has partnered with leading PoH providers such as BrightID and Gitcoin Passport. Those who have already completed verification on these platforms don’t need to take any additional steps. Simply obtain your OHS with just a few clicks using your existing POH.

Managing Your OHS On-chain and Off-chain

There are two options for managing your OHS, either on-chain or off-chain, depending upon your preference.

Onchain Management

Onchain management refers to the process of managing your OHS on blockchain platforms.

This approach provides a secure, transparent, and decentralized way to store and manage your OHS. Here’s a step-by-step guide to managing your OHS on-chain:

1. Create a Wallet: Set up a digital wallet to store your OHS. Make sure it’s compatible with the chosen blockchain platform.

2. Choose a Blockchain Platform: Select a reputable blockchain platform that supports OHS, such as Ontology EVM or Binance Smart Chain.

3. Mint OHS NFTs: Please note that minting will incur minor gas fees. Ensure you have sufficient gas tokens on the chosen blockchain.

4. Store OHS Tokens: Store your OHS tokens securely in your wallet, ensuring they are not compromised.

5. Update OHS NFT timely: Once your OHS is updated, remember to update your NFTs simultaneously on-chain.

Off-chain Management

Off Chain management refers to the process of managing your OHS outside of blockchain platforms.

This approach is often used for smaller-scale OHS management or when a higher privacy standard is set. Here’s a step-by-step guide to managing your OHS off-chain:

1. Choose a Storage Solution: Select a secure storage solution, such as a cloud-based storage service or a local file storage system.

2. Encrypt Your OHS: Encrypt your OHS using a secure encryption algorithm to protect it from unauthorized access.

3. Store OHS Data: Store your OHS data in the chosen storage solution, ensuring it is secure and accessible only to authorized users.

4. Regularly Back Up: Regularly back up your OHS data to prevent data loss in case of a storage failure.

Unlocking the Utility of Your OHS

One of the key benefits of OHS is its ability to prevent duplicate verification. This ensures that your online presence is unique and authentic, guarding against bots and fake accounts from manipulating your score.

Access to Partner Campaigns and Exclusive Incentives

Your OHS grants access to partner campaigns and exclusive incentives. These campaigns are designed to reward users who demonstrate high levels of engagement and empathy online. Here’s how OHS grants access to partner campaigns:

1. Partnerships: OHS partners with reputable organizations and brands to offer exclusive incentives and campaigns.

2. Score-Based Access: Users with high OHS scores are granted access to these campaigns, ensuring that only genuine and engaged users participate.

3. Exclusive Rewards: Users who participate in these campaigns receive exclusive rewards, such as tokens, NFTs, or other digital assets.

Unlock Special Benefits for Projects’ Token Generation Events (TGEs)

Your OHS can also unlock special benefits for projects’ token generation events (TGEs). These benefits include:

1. Priority Access: Users with high OHS scores are granted priority access to TGEs, ensuring they can participate in the early stages of the project.

2. Exclusive Discounts: OHS users receive exclusive discounts on TGE tokens, making it more affordable to participate in the project.

3. Enhanced Project Visibility: Projects that partner with OHS receive enhanced visibility, attracting more engaged and empathetic users to their TGE.

Deepening Web3 Authenticity with OHS

The widespread adoption of the Orange Humanity Score (OHS) and OHS NFTs is vital for creating a more secure and authentic online environment. By embracing OHS, individuals and organizations can ensure the integrity of their online presence, prevent fake accounts, and foster deeper connections with others.

Adopting OHS enhances reputation, trust, and user engagement. As Web3 evolves, widespread adoption of OHS and OHS NFTs will be essential for creating a more trustworthy, efficient, and connected blockchain ecosystem.
