Most tools guess whether traffic was a bot. 5arz will hand you signed proof a real person was there — one credential per impression or action.

Bots are now the majority of web traffic. And AI agents browse, click and buy — many without saying they’re agents.
Imperva Bad Bot Report, 2025
Only one hands you signed proof of the impression itself.
| Detection DoubleVerify, IAS, HUMAN | Orb personhood World / iris | 5arz (coming soon) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it produces | A probabilistic score or blocklist | A credential that a person is unique | Signed proof a real person did a specific action |
| Affirmative proof? | ✕ No — it’s a filter | ~ Personhood only | ✓ One credential per impression or action |
| Hardware or biometric custody | Page-level signals | Orb enrollment | None — phone + ID; 5arz never receives the selfie or ID image |
| Checkable by anyone | No (closed) | Via World’s verifier | ✓ Public key, any JWT library, offline |
Comparison reflects public information as of September 2026. Vendor names are representative examples of each approach. Detection tells you it probably wasn’t a bot; 5arz hands you a signed receipt anyone can check without trusting us.
An ES256-signed credential attached to a verified human impression or action. Tamper-evident and timestamped.
Anyone downstream checks it against our public key with a standard JWT library. No SDK, no lock-in.
Each credential names the impression and the account. Change either and the signature fails.
One API call per impression or action you want proven.
5arz confirms they’re ID-verified and live, without handing you their identity.
A signed Proof-of-Human credential is issued for that event.
Validate against the public key, downstream, with no SDK.
Pay for people and prove you got them, with a receipt per impression.
Offer verified-human inventory backed by signed proof, not a label.
You sell the promise; 5arz is the verification route you plug in.
Buy data and attention with proof a real person produced it.
Confirm a verified, live person is behind any action — a signup, a review, an approval.

Your agent posts a task. A verified person does it.
Every clipper ID-verified, views fraud-screened, disclosure enforced. We don’t claim viewers are human.
Web or ad traffic that comes with cryptographic proof a real, ID-verified, live person was present. 5arz will issue that proof as a signed credential per impression or action, checkable by anyone.
Not yet — it’s coming soon. The Proof-of-Human API it builds on is live today; get notified for the traffic product.
Those tools do detection: a probabilistic filter that guesses whether traffic was a bot. 5arz issues signed proof that a real person was present, which anyone can verify offline.
No special hardware and no biometric network: a phone and an ID check by our verification partners. 5arz never receives the selfie or ID image, and it proves a specific action, where orb systems prove a person is unique.
51% of web traffic is bots (Imperva Bad Bot Report, 2025), and AI agents increasingly browse and buy without saying so. Buyers need to prove, not guess, that a person was there.
That’s the plan: an API that issues a signed credential per impression or action, checkable downstream without a 5arz SDK. Resellers and networks distribute; 5arz is the proof layer.
Coming soon. Bring us your traffic or inventory and we’ll tell you when it opens.
