The currency of human identity.
Not a coin you mine with GPUs. A token mined by being provably, verifiably, undeniably human — and doing real work the agent economy depends on.
"Bitcoin is digital gold. Ethereum is digital oil.
$MANAV is digital humanity."
One protocol. One identity.
One token that earns itself.
manav.id is the universal human identity protocol for the agent economy — and $MANAV is its native token. Each verified human gets a persistent handle, a cryptographic identity, and a balance that grows every time they do real, attested work.
vishal.manav.id
One human · one IDA persistent, biometrically-bound handle. Issued once, verifiable forever, portable across every employer, agent framework, and jurisdiction.

$MANAV
10B fixed · PoHWEarned by verified work. Burned as gas for agent transactions. Staked for trust. The deflationary engine that makes the protocol self-sustaining.
Self-sovereign. Verifiable. Aligned.
Pick all three.
Every identity system before $MANAV had to choose two of three. The token is what closes the third corner — because economic incentive is a force you can program.
Why every prior system fell short
Okta / Microsoft Entra: verifiable and aligned (you pay them) — but you don't own your identity. Leave the company, lose the proof.
Worldcoin / W3C VCs: sovereign and verifiable — but the incentive is a one-time grant, not earned value. Adoption stalls.
LinkedIn: social-graph aligned — but no cryptographic verification and no real ownership. The data belongs to LinkedIn.
Every prior token proves something.
$MANAV proves humanity.
Bitcoin proves you burned electricity. Ethereum proves you locked capital. Worldcoin proves you have eyeballs. $MANAV is the first token whose proof is verified human contribution — the only economic input that has held its value across every technology shift in history.
In a world where machines outnumber workers 100:1, the most valuable asset is not energy or compute — it's cryptographic proof a human did the work. That proof is $MANAV.
10B fixed. 40% earned by humans.
The rest aligned long-term.
A supply schedule designed to put the largest share of the float in the hands of the people doing the work — with vesting and lockups that punish short-termism.
Two design choices distinguish this allocation. First, the team + investor combined allocation (27%) sits below the median of comparable launches — a deliberate choice to reduce supply overhang and signal that the protocol is built for the humans earning the token, not the people raising on it. Second, the work-mining bucket (40%) is the only line that cannot be accelerated, gamed, or front-loaded.
A new consensus.
Verified human contribution.
Not Proof of Work (electricity). Not Proof of Stake (capital). Not Proof of Personhood (one-time scan). $MANAV mints tokens proportional to cryptographically attested human output — the only proof that matters when machines can fake everything else.

What counts as work
| Work type | Attestation method | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Code commits | Git pre-receive hook + reviewer signature | High |
| Decision-making | Agent delegation chain proof | High |
| Agent supervision | Chain management logs | High |
| Mentoring / training | Peer attestation + outcome | High |
| Document creation | Editor plugin attestation | Medium |
| Design work | Design tool integration | Medium |
| Peer review | Bilateral attestation | Medium |
| Meeting participation | Calendar + biometric presence | Low |
$MANAV is gas, stake, governance,
payment, passport, and compliance fuel.
A utility token in the most literal sense: every action in the human-agent economy consumes, locks, or earns it.
Gas for human-agent transactions
Every time an agent acts on a human's behalf and the action needs verification, $MANAV is consumed. Burned, not paid — deflationary by design.
100M agents × 10 actions/day = 1B+ tx/dayTrust amplification staking
Stake $MANAV against your handle to boost trust score. Higher stake = access to higher-value delegations and contracts. Skin in the game, on chain.
Identity · Work · Agent stakingGovernance of the human layer
1 human = 1 vote, weighted logarithmically by stake. Sybil-resistant by architecture — you can't fake humanity, and you can't whale-takeover what you can't fake.
Quadratic-style human governancePayment rail for verified work
The Manav Marketplace settles in $MANAV. Smart contracts release payment only after deliverable attestation lands on chain.

Token velocity has a problem. $MANAV has the opposite problem: every productive use either burns supply or locks it up. The more the protocol succeeds, the scarcer the token becomes.
Demand grows. Supply locks. Value compounds.
Each new human joining the protocol creates more agents, which burn more gas, which pulls more $MANAV out of float. Combined with a fixed 10B supply and 4-year team vesting, the structural pressure on float is asymmetrically deflationary.
Demand drivers
- Agent gas fees (burn)
- Identity staking (lock)
- Marketplace settlement
- Governance lockups
- Trust amplification
- Enterprise licensing
Supply constraints
- Fixed 10B supply
- 2-year halving cycle
- 4-year team vest
- Staking lockups
- Slow PoHW emission
- Treasury holds

For context: Worldcoin hit 18M verified users with iris scans alone and zero earning loop. $MANAV offers actual income for actual work.

SaaS revenue. Token network effects.
Both, not either.
Pure SaaS is commoditisable. Pure crypto is reflexive and fragile. Manav runs both engines on the same identity primitive — the most defensible business model in either category.
