MeCaptcha is an authenticator app that converts routine 6‑digit login codes into “humanity credits,” a cumulative proof of a user’s human identity. These credits can be spent to generate Signed Statements—shareable pages that verify a post, comment, or profile was authored by a verified human—adding trust to online content. The service also offers an SMS verification SDK that rewards users with credits for each phone‑number confirmation.

Problem
Online platforms struggle to verify that content creators are genuine humans, leading to anonymity abuse, bot spam, and reduced trust in comments, posts, and profiles.
Solution
MeCaptcha converts routine two-factor authentication (2FA) events—such as entering six‑digit codes—into “humanity credits” that accumulate over time. Users earn credits each time they successfully sign in with the app, building a verifiable record of human activity. When credibility is needed, users can spend these credits to generate a Signed Statement, a shareable page that confirms a verified human stands behind the content. The Signed Statement can be attached to blog comments, forum posts, emails, or profile bios, providing a clear, cryptographic proof of authorship. MeCaptcha integrates with existing authenticator workflows and offers a headless SDK and pre‑built React components for developers to replace standard SMS or app‑based verification while adding this trust layer.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals who regularly use authenticator apps and want to prove their humanity online, while developers of social platforms, forums, and SaaS services integrate MeCaptcha to enhance trust and reduce bot abuse.
