Here's what the Humanode dev team has been up to in the past week:
🔺 CVM (Confidential Virtual Machine) Updates
The CVM has undergone updates, including dependency upgrades, assembly corrections, and the installation of Docker and gVisor. Detailed insights are available on Humanode GitHub.
🔺 Exploring CVM Attestation
Our team continues experimental research on CVM attestation. Last week, they developed a Rust utility for attestation, including a web transport server and web transport client. POC complete.
🔺 Research on Nakamoto Coefficient
The team delved into researching the Nakamoto coefficient’s implications on network scenarios. We've identified a tool that allows for simulating the state of the network, including the number and status of its members.
🔺 BotBasher Enhancements
Discussions are ongoing regarding enhancements in BotBasher, including plans to display Discord usernames after facial scanning and implement a ticket system for streamlined communication. Additionally, we're working on a system to refresh tokens for users for the next generation.
🔺 Assert on Balance Invariant
To maintain the integrity of the platform, we wrote an assert on the balance invariants. This ensures that the balance of accounts within our system remains consistent and accurate, thereby enhancing overall security and reliability.
🔺 Mainnet Site Localization
Our proof of concept for localizing the mainnet site is ongoing, marking significant progress in global outreach. We're initiating the translation of website content into different languages, engaging translators to support this initiative.

Days after becoming the most decentralized Layer 1 by the Nakamoto Coefficient, Humanode's BioDeFi LP staking, specifically the HMND/USDC liquidity pool on Impossible Finance DEX, has reached over $1,000,000 in Total Value Locked (TVL).
This Sybil-resistant, biometric-based staking model offers Annual Percentage Rates (APR) that range from 50% for whales to as high as 500% for smaller liquidity providers to create a more equitable DeFi ecosystem.
The BioDeFi staking model is designed to distribute rewards in a non-linear fashion, favoring smaller liquidity providers. The use of crypto-biometrics makes sure each user's unique, ensuring that each individual can only stake LP tokens using a single address, without sharing her personal info.

TL;DR
Hello, human nodes! This report provides an overview of the main news, development updates, and recent events within the Humanode ecosystem. Let’s start!
First, the Humanode Chain has reached a significant milestone with 531 active validator nodes, making it the most decentralized blockchain network. This achievement is reflected in the Nakamoto Coefficient, which stands at an impressive 177. This places Humanode at the forefront of decentralization, surpassing other leading networks such as Mina and Polkadot. The next target is to reach 1,000 nodes, followed by scaling up to 10,000 nodes and eventually millions globally. For more information on how to launch a node, click here.
Furthermore, the BioDeFi LP staking has exceeded $1 million in Total Value Locked (TVL). This Sybil-resistant staking model, particularly the HMND/USDC liquidity pool on Impossible Finance DEX, offers attractive Annual Percentage Rates (APR) ranging from 50% to 500% for liquidity providers of different scales. This fosters a more equitable DeFi ecosystem and incentivizes participation.
Several updates and enhancements have been made in various aspects of Humanode’s development. The Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM) has undergone updates, including dependency upgrades, assembly corrections, and the integration of Docker and gVisor.

We've also explored web support. Our goal is to create a client library to connect CVM via web, providing greater flexibility and accessibility for developers.
🔺 Employing ZombieNet for E2E Network Testing
We've checked changes on ZombieNet, a framework for Substrate-based blockchains, valuable for testing Substrate when multiple nodes are launched locally. For more details, you can refer to the Humanode GitHub.
🔺 BotBasher Enhancements
Our team is actively working on enhancements for BotBasher. We're currently developing a system to refresh tokens for users in the next generations. Additionally, we're working on features such as displaying Discord usernames after facial scanning and implementing a ticket system for improved communication between the team and the community.
🔺 Mainnet Website Localization
Our efforts to localize the mainnet website are progressing well, contributing to significant strides in global outreach. We've initiated the translation of website content into different languages and have engaged translators to support this initiative.
