# HUMAN Protocol Document Hub

## What is HUMAN Protocol?

HUMAN Protocol is a platform that helps businesses and workers collaborate at a global scale. It provides a suite of applications and integrations – and the tooling to create new ones – to enable businesses to access a massive pool of contributors, and build global technologies.

For workers, it provides a means to earn revenue via the HUMAN App. Any time, anywhere. For developers, the network additionally offers opportunities to operate oracles and earn passive revenue.

## Ecosystem

HUMAN Protocol is an open-source, blockchain-based platform that allows different job types to be launched, split into thousands of tasks, and distributed to global contributors. Contributors access tasks via the HUMAN App, and are awarded for their successful completion (to the requester’s specifications).&#x20;

The project combines novel approaches to the recording and transparent compensation of work. The current focus is on data annotation, to help build global technologies, and in adding more annotation types to the Protocol to allow enterprises to build datasets that befit their specific, specialized use cases – and in providing contributors choice in the work they perform.

HUMAN Protocol’s core technology is available for developers to create integrations for the HUMAN App, or build their own solutions. Possibilities include creating annotation tools to be used by existing workforces, introducing new job types, or operating an oracle and earning fees. Developers may also create their own applications using our smart contract and oracle infrastructure.&#x20;
