Distrikt has taken another step forward with the integration of Decide AI’s Proof of Humanity (PoH) system, giving users a clear way to distinguish between verified human-created content and everything else. The update brings a fresh set of features, including a new verification badge, enhanced Nuance profile linking, a rebrand of Distrikts to Zones, and the return of older posts that had temporarily disappeared.
PoH is now available within Distrikt, allowing users to verify their accounts through their profile settings. Those who have already completed the verification process elsewhere with Decide AI can simply confirm their status. A heart-with-a-pulse badge signifies a verified human presence, while posts from authenticated users will also be marked with yellow dots on the left side. The idea is to make it instantly clear who is posting genuine human-generated content without requiring extra clicks or searches.
The system is strictly for humans, meaning businesses, AI-generated accounts, and bots won’t be eligible for verification under PoH. That doesn’t mean they’ll be left out entirely—future updates will introduce separate badges for these entities, ensuring clarity in content sources while keeping the user experience smooth.
Long-form writers on Nuance now have an easier way to showcase their work. With a simple profile update in the settings, Nuance accounts can be linked directly to Distrikt. This means articles from Nuance will automatically appear on the user’s Distrikt profile, making it simpler to share and promote written content. The change offers a direct connection between Nuance’s detailed discussions and Distrikt’s social interactions, bridging the two platforms seamlessly.
Another shift comes with the rebranding of “Distrikts” to “Zones.” The reasoning behind the change is straightforward—it’s a shorter, simpler term that makes conversations about the app flow more naturally. While the update doesn’t change functionality, it streamlines communication and aligns with Distrikt’s goal of making the platform more user-friendly.
Some users had noticed that older posts had gone missing, leading to speculation about whether content had been lost. The good news is those posts weren’t deleted—just temporarily hidden. With this update, they’ve been restored, bringing back past discussions and contributions without users needing to take any action. It’s a small but meaningful change for those who value the history of their interactions on the platform.
Beyond these key updates, Distrikt has introduced various minor improvements aimed at refining the user experience. The team is actively collecting feedback, so further tweaks and fixes are expected as the platform continues evolving. These adjustments are part of an ongoing effort to ensure Distrikt remains an engaging space where users can communicate with confidence, knowing exactly who they are interacting with.
The broader impact of this update stretches across the Internet Computer (IC) ecosystem, reinforcing themes of authenticity and collaboration. With PoH integration, a new way to connect with Nuance, and a streamlined interface, Distrikt is positioning itself as a more transparent and human-centred platform. More developments are on the way, but for now, the focus is on making sure these updates run smoothly while users get accustomed to the changes.
