Submit Manifestations

The Covenant is a shared framework for culture, contribution, and governance in the human.tech ecosystem. It defines how human-aligned technology is shaped and stewarded over time.

Yes. Human Passport is the foundation of The Covenant. You must be verified as a unique human to sign The Covenant and participate in community activities. The first 10,000 signers have an option to verify with biometrics instead.

For a limited time, up to 10,000 new users can complete free human verification via biometric checks during onboarding. Later, you can get onboarded via Passport App (app.passport.xyz ) — just collect a Unique Humanity Score of 20 or higher. This can be free or paid, depending on your existing onchain and offchain activity patterns.

Signing The Covenant makes you a recognized signatory and unlocks access to the Covenant signatory community, including a dedicated Discord channel. From there you can submit an artifact to contribute to The Covenant.

Follow human.tech on X , read the human.tech blog , and join us on Discord  for ongoing updates and announcements.

Artifacts are proof of human contribution: Essays, art, research, open-source code, and other forms of human creativity.

The maximum file size is 4.5 MB. If you need to submit a larger file, please host your MP4 on Vimeo or YouTube and provide the link in the artifact field.

No. We only permit for 1 artifact per signer. Please submit with care. Because there is currently a limit of one Artifact per person, we encourage waiting until you have something you’ve developed thoughtfully and intentionally.

Submitting an Artifact is optional. You can verify your humanity and participate without submitting anything. The flow may make it feel required, but it isn’t.

There’s no advantage to submitting early. It’s perfectly fine to spend time getting acquainted with the Covenant and submit later, when you’re confident your work reflects your best thinking.

Artifacts are evaluated against clear criteria (originality, human rigor, alignment with Covenant principles, and clarity of intent), and submissions that don’t meet these standards (including generic AI output, misalignment, or incomplete work) may be disqualified.

Artifacts are reviewed by curators through a careful and rigorous evaluation process to ensure alignment with Covenant principles and curation standards. Because reviews are conducted thoughtfully and in batches, timelines can vary.

In general, reviews may take anywhere from a few weeks to up to three months, depending on submission volume and the depth of evaluation required. We appreciate your patience and encourage submitters to view this as a deliberative process rather than a rapid approval cycle.

A strong submission aligns with Covenant principles, shows real understanding of the domain, and contributes something genuinely useful to human-aligned technology or culture. Its value should be clear, even if the work is technical or specialized. It should have a realistic path to long-term impact within The Covenant ecosystem. The submitter must own the intellectual property (or have permission from all contributors), and the work must be released under an open-source license that allows The Covenant to build on or continue it.

Examples of strong Artifacts include:

• A research paper or technical essay introducing a new idea, framework, or analysis related to human-centered technology, privacy, rights, or non-extractive systems.
• An open-source software project or protocol with clear documentation and a credible plan for growth, ranging from early concepts to working prototypes or well-defined project proposals.
• A documentary, investigation, or long-form narrative that surfaces real human impacts of technology and adds lasting cultural or social value.
• An open hardware project or experiment showing thoughtful design, technical understanding, and clear documentation that others can build on.
• A governance model, framework, or real-world experiment that tests how human-aligned systems could work in practice, with clear goals and next steps.

Artifacts that are recycled, primarily AI-generated, incomplete, misaligned, self-promotional, or unclear in purpose are unlikely to be approved.

The following criteria disqualify an artifact from being approved for The Covenant:

• Misaligned or contradicts Covenant principles.
• Obvious generic AI output or misunderstanding of own work.
• Harmful, misleading, or irrelevant.
• Unreadable or incomprehensible.

You are not required to use or disclose your real name. You may participate using a pseudonym or project name, as long as you can complete the required proof-of-humanity and submission requirements.

Signing The Covenant and having an approved artifact unlocks an exclusive Discord channel for Covenant signatories and contributors.

Here’s how artifact submissions work right now:

Signer: You can currently submit one artifact (one-time only).

Rejected: If your artifact is rejected, you cannot resubmit just yet. We’ll open resubmissions in the future after all initial submissions have been evaluated.

Approved: For approved artifacts, you can submit one at a time.

Violation: If your artifact violates the rules, you cannot submit again.

Right now, we’re carefully evaluating all submissions first. We’ll share updates once resubmissions are available. Thanks for your patience!

The blur is applied intentionally to protect your privacy. Please continue the verification process. Make sure to stand in a well-lit spot, by a window or a lamp. We recommend using mobile for verification as it tends to have higher success rates.
