Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.73
17th April — 1st May

TL;DR
Hello, human nodes! This biweekly report provides an overview of the main news, development updates, and recent events within the Humanode ecosystem. Let’s start!

First, human nodes have surged from 483 to 700+ in less than a month, underscoring the growing interest and participation in the network. This brings the network closer to the milestone of 1000 human nodes, a testament to the robustness and attractiveness of the Humanode ecosystem.

Moreover, Humanode’s collaboration with Impossible Finance marks a significant step towards network sustainability. The decision to allocate 60% of swap fees from Impossible Finance to the Humanode network not only enhances the platform’s financial sustainability but also provides a lucrative incentive for validators. The first buy-back will happen this week.

Behind the scenes, the Humanode team is tirelessly working on various development fronts. The focus has been on Substrate updates, particularly merging v0.9.42. Additionally, the team is gearing up to integrate BLS12–381, slated for version 117. Keep an eye out for version 116 distribution on the mainnet in the coming days. Furthermore, the team continued to leverage ZombieNet, especially for testing multiple nodes. Prioritizing testing the genesis with over 1k validators, the team is also eyeing 5k validators in the near future. On top of that, the team has been actively enhancing BotBasher, with a new component — token sustainer — now in staging.

Also, the team has made a few updates to the guide on launching and running a node on the Humanode network. The latest version includes the latest updated information, new screenshots, and an FAQ section addressing the most common queries. You can access the updated guide here.

Humanode’s strategic partnerships and community engagement initiatives play a pivotal role in driving ecosystem growth and awareness. The integration of Humanode Network with SubWallet, a comprehensive wallet solution for the Polkadot, Substrate, and Ethereum ecosystems, expands accessibility and usability for users across multiple platforms.

Furthermore, the listing of HMND on MEXC exchange enhances liquidity and trading opportunities for the Humanode community. MEXC became the 9th exchange to list HMND.

In addition to technological advancements, Humanode is actively contributing to thought leadership in the blockchain space through insightful publications. The comparative analysis of Layer-1 blockchain economies, authored by Humanode co-founder Victor, offers valuable insights into validator rewards and economic incentives across different networks. Similarly, the exploration of biometrics as a solution to the digital media crisis underscores Humanode’s commitment to leveraging technology for societal benefit.

The introduction of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel series, “2067 — The Equilibrium,” provides a creative narrative that highlights the importance of preventing undesirable futures through innovation and collective action.

That’s a wrap. Stay in the loop!

Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.74
1st May — 15th May

TL;DR
Hello, human nodes! Welcome to our biweekly report, where we cover the latest news, development updates, and recent events from the Humanode project. Let’s dive in!

Last week, the team conducted comprehensive updates to Humanode’s primary biometric provider, Facetec.

The biometric servers were updated and rebooted. Please go through bio-authentication enrollment and reauthenticate to ensure your node continues to run seamlessly without missing an epoch. No key rotation is necessary, but re-enrollment is required.

The biometric servers for Humanode Biostaker have also been updated. To claim your rewards, please Biomap. This update does not affect your stakes, but Biomapping is necessary to claim rewards.

On top of that, BotBasher has been updated to Gen4, and the server has been reset. Gen3 roles are now deprecated. Server administrators need to create new roles based on Gen4 BotBasher. Users on the Humanode Discord server can re-verify to obtain new roles. This one-time verification will be valid across all Gen4 Discord servers. Remember, biometrics can only be tied to one Discord account. Mistakes in account linking will require a six-month wait for the next reset.

Significant progress continues on Humanode’s blockchain infrastructure. The team is merging v0.9.42 of Substrate and has included support for BLS12–381 and BN128 into the 118 runtime spec version. These updates will be available on it6 and testnet5 this week. For detailed insights, visit Humanode GitHub.

A new proprietary testing tool has been developed, addressing the limitations of ZombieNet, especially in scaling to large node numbers. This tool enables testing across multiple nodes, with plans to scale up to 5k validators in the near future.

Furthermore, the team is experimenting with Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM) attestation, starting with a chat server example. This CVM will allow authorized clients to exchange messages if verified, representing a significant step in Humanode’s R&D efforts.

A new paper on the governing structure of Vortex DAO is now available. Learn more about how human nodes will govern the network.

Governance in blockchain protocols remains a complex challenge yet to be fully mastered. What does it entail? Learn about the state of decentralized decision-making in the three-part series on Crypto Governance. The first part is out.

Explore Humanode’s latest article on infamous DAO failures in crypto history, covering issues like voter apathy and plutocracy.

The introduction of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel series, “2067 — The Equilibrium,” provides a creative narrative that highlights the importance of preventing undesirable futures through innovation and collective action. The story continues in the slums of D9 and the “high-life” of D3, now exploring D6, a “Community Zone.” Follow Yumi, a 17-year-old girl and aspiring designer, in her journey.

Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.75
15th May –29th May

TL;DR
As May draws to a close, we are excited to share the latest progress and achievements from Humanode over the past two weeks.

Firstly, the team announced the extension of Humanode’s LP staking program for another 6 months. Following the conclusion of the old LP staking contract on May 18th, a new contract for the WeHMND/USDC pool was deployed on May 20th. This extension adds 2,628,000 HMND to the reward pool, providing the community with continued opportunities for participation and rewards. Moreover, the team is preparing to launch a new LP staking program for WeHMND/WETH, further expanding our staking options. For detailed instructions on how to stake, please refer to the guide on Biostaker.

Furthermore, the team introduced the Vortex Guidebook, a comprehensive resource that describes Humanode’s governance structure. Understanding governance mechanisms is crucial for active community participation and decision-making, and the Vortex Guidebook aims to make this information accessible to all.

Worth mentioning, Humanode’s new State of Crypto Governance series delves into the complexities of decentralized decision-making in blockchain protocols, providing insights into the nuances of governance infrastructure. Check out Part I with the introduction to blockchain governance. Part II describes the specifics of governance infrastructure.

Turning to Humanode’s development efforts, the team has been hard at work enhancing blockchain infrastructure with Substrate updates, facilitating integration with layer 2 networks and bridges. We are also excited about Humanode’s ongoing integration efforts, particularly the integration of Telegram with BotBasher: last week, the team developed and tested various integration schemes, getting chat participants, kicking users from chat, listening chat joining request, listening chat config changes. On the user experience front, the team has improved the Biostaker UI, ensuring a seamless staking experience for the community.

In terms of partnerships, Humanode continues to expand its ecosystem. The collaboration with Analog will facilitate seamless connectivity between Humanode and other chains, enabling dApps to leverage Humanode’s cryptobiometric technology for Sybil-resistance. Additionally, the partnership with ContinuumDAO brings decentralized MPC infrastructure to the Humanode EVM, enhancing cross-chain functionality and liquidity. The team also announced partnerships with KEKKAI and Aurora, further bolstering their efforts to combat bots and ensure a secure and Sybil-free experience. KEKKAI’s integration with BotBasher will enhance security on their Discord, while Aurora will utilize BotBasher for Sybil resistance on its Zealy campaign.

Moreover, Humanode released new tutorial videos to guide you through the process of using BotBasher. For users on how to get verified with BotBasher, and for admins on how to integrate BotBasher into Discord servers.

Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.76
29th May — 12th June

TL;DR
Greetings, tech geeks and enthusiasts! We’re excited to bring you the latest Humanode updates from the last two weeks.

First, bridging WETH from Ethereum to Humanode and vice versa is now available, thanks to Chainport’s cross-chain bridging technology. This development will soon enable the launch of the WETH/HMND LP staking pool on the Impossible Finance DEX, significantly enhancing our ecosystem’s liquidity. Unlike stablecoins, WETH offers dynamic value tied to Ethereum, presenting stakers who prefer dynamic pools with the opportunity for higher returns.

But that’s not all. ChainPort is also working on enabling WETH bridging from other supported chains, including Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, Optimism, and more to Humanode, with much lower fees. You can bridge WETH by visiting the ChainPort app: Bridge WETH.

The Humanode dev team is actively integrating BotBasher with Telegram. The prototype integration scheme is now complete, and all components have been developed into a cohesive system. They also continue to enhance Humanode’s blockchain infrastructure with Substrate updates, polishing v0.9.42 and v0.9.43, and are eagerly transitioning to the Polkadot SDK v1.0. For in-depth insights, check out the latest on Humanode GitHub.

Also, they introduced a new feature in BotBasher biometric authorization. Now, during the authorization process, users will see their Discord account details (username and avatar) to ensure they are linking to the correct account.

Furthermore, Humanode announced a partnership with TIDE, a web3 marketing protocol that equips projects with dynamic tools to engage and reward users. TIDE has integrated with the Humanode chain, enabling on-chain tasks and rewards. Additionally, they have incorporated BotBasher as a default for Sybil-resistant campaigns.

The fourth chapter of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel, “2067 — The Equilibrium” The Book of Shogo, is set to be released. Venture out of the secure walled cities with Shogo and explore potential dark zones. In this lawless expanse, nature is reclaiming its territories, and wildlife is not the only danger.
