Questions about Human Credit

What is Human Credit?

Human Credit is a free website where you publicly credit someone for something they did. You name the person, say what they did in a sentence, and it becomes a card on its own page and on theirs.

Is it free? Do I need a wallet?

It is free, and there is no wallet, account or purchase. You can credit someone with just their name and a sentence.

How do I credit someone?

Open the create page, add their name or profile, say what they did, and add your name. You can also paste their X handle or a LinkedIn or Instagram profile link into the Telegram bot, or paste a prompt into an AI like ChatGPT or Claude that prepares the card for you. You always check and submit the card yourself.

Can I credit someone from X, Instagram or LinkedIn?

Yes. A card can point to a person's X handle, Instagram username or LinkedIn profile, so cards given to the same handle appear together on one page. Handles are typed by hand, so a page is a grouping, not proof of who someone is.

Are the cards verified?

No. Every card is self-reported and unverified. It records what the giver says someone did. It does not prove identity, ownership or that the contribution happened.

Does a card give someone money, points or anything else?

No. A card is a public thank-you. It does not create a balance, points, rewards or any right to payment.

Can a card be removed?

Yes. When a card is made, its maker gets a private link that takes the card down. People can also report a record by email from the site footer.

What are Credits, and is Human Credit affiliated with them?

Credits is a collection by Jack Butcher. Human Credit started as an experiment in that community. It is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by the creator. A card can use the art of a Credit, and ownership of that Credit is not checked.
