Dev Log 15 is out.

This one is about something less flashy, but just as important: trust. The bug hunt focused on making the simulator easier to rely on again, from test infrastructure and identity handling to veto math, concurrency paths, and governance projections.

A lot of this work was about cutting through noise, fixing what was inconsistent, and making sure failures actually mean something when they show up.

If you’ve been following along, here’s the latest update: https://blog.humanode.io/vortex-dev-log-15-the-great-bug-hunt-restores-trust/

XONA integrates Agentlink.

XONA is a creative AI agent on x402 that other agents can call for premium image and video generation, paid per call through x402 micropayments.

Now, agents linked to a verified human through Agentlink powered by Humanode Biomapper get free generations from XONA.

We welcome you all to the weekly Humanode Community Call!

Last week, we touched on the Vortex, dove into some major updates on ongoing projects, and explored what's brewing across the ecosystem.

This week, the Vortex will of course be on the table again, but we're also expecting fresh progress on the initiatives, and some exciting movement on a few projects we've been teasing.

There may also be some surprises worth sticking around for.

Remember that there is news you can only get here, and that everyone has the option to hop on stage and ask the founders questions! (If you are shy, or not in a chat-friendly environment, txt messages will be answered too.)

Hope to see you all at the Community Call!

* 3 winners: $50 each, through Sybil-resistant voting
* 3 special mentions: $10 each, picked by the Humanode team
* 1 exceptional entry: $50 founders' prize

Where to post: Share your infographic on X, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, or Instagram. Tag @ humanode_io or use $ HMND. Then drop the link in # humanodes-got-talent. in Humanode Discord.

Pick one thing cool about Humanode. Explain it well. Make people get it.

Two moments in crypto history, seventeen years apart:

2009: Satoshi buries a newspaper headline about bank bailouts into Bitcoin's first block. A protest in code.

2025: A prominent founder declares crypto's real endgame is "Capitalism 2.0."

How did we get from one to the other? And what's the layer the industry still hasn't built?

Hey everyone, we have our weekly Humanode Community Call this Thursday.

This week, Vortex will be part of the conversation, but we’re also expecting some major updates around projects and the wider ecosystem.

Some updates are shared directly in these calls before they make it anywhere else, so if you want the fuller picture, this is a good one to join.

You can also hop on stage and ask the founders your questions directly. And if you’re shy, at work, or just not in a talking mood, text questions are totally fine too.

Thursday, May 21
2:00 PM GMT+0

Hope to see you there.

Dev Log 16 is out.

This one is mostly invisible from the outside, but it’s one of the biggest updates so far. Over the past month, a lot of Vortex was refactored so the system is easier to read, audit, and keep building without piling more logic into the wrong places.

The main shift is simple: smaller files, clearer boundaries, less duplication, and more reusable governance logic across both server and web. The behavior stays the same, but the foundation underneath it is much cleaner now.

If you want to look through what changed, here’s the latest dev log and the open-source repos: https://blog.humanode.io/vortex-dev-log-16-the-biggest-update-so-far/

The Humanode Infographic Contest has entered the selection stage.

As mentioned in the original announcement, the Humanode Core team is now reviewing the entries and creating the shortlist for community voting.

If all goes well, voting should begin tomorrow in the # sr-polls voting channel on the Humanode Discord.

Get ready to vote for the infographic that made Humanode click for you.

Just a heads up: newly verified human accounts that joined after the contest deadline will not be counted for voting.

Quick reminder for this week’s Humanode Community Call on June 4th.

We’ve got some nice Vortex updates to walk through, share what’s changed, and hear what you think while it’s fresh.

Come hang. Hop on stage if you want, or just drop questions in chat.

Join here: https://discord.gg/5ptcbzEq?event=1467927462011994387

The time has come for the voting for the infographic contest. There are some masterpieces in there, so don’t miss them.

Each person gets one vote in the ⁠# sr-polls channel of the Humanode Discord. Remember that you need to be a verified Human to vote, and unless you are a contestant, you would have needed to become a member before the contest began.

As for the voting, just select the one you like the most! The top 3 will win $50; one lucky winner will get the founder’s prize of $50; and the Humanode team will select up to 3 infographics to receive $10.

As a note, only 9 passed the initial screening, which was, honestly, quite shocking. Too many people used the wrong logo, or mistook Proof of Biometric Uniqueness with “Proof of Humanity”. There were quite a few other simple errors that rendered a decent infographic useless.

You have 72 hours to vote, so go and make your voice count!

Just a heads up for everyone staking in the WeHMND/USDC pool.

The current LP contract closes tomorrow, June 3rd, 2026, at block 18333390. And right as that block hits, the new LP pool opens on the new contract.

Same daily rewards of 14,400 WeHMND, same nonlinear model, and it carries on for another 6 months.

If you’re already in the old pool, the only thing you’ll need to do, once the new pool is launched, is move your LP tokens from the old contract to the new one. Rewards will simply continue there, and you’ll still be able to claim anything you earned up to the end of the previous pool.

If you’re new or coming back after a while, here’s what Humanode LP staking is:
Staking page: https://mainnet.biostaker.hmnd.app/
Guide if you need it: https://link.humanode.io/guide/biodefi

The new WeHMND/USDC LP staking contract is deployed and went live at block 18333390 (2026-06-03 08:00:51 UTC), perfectly timed with the end of the previous contract.

If you’re staked in the previous pool, you’ll need to move your assets to the new one to continue earning rewards. No additional rewards will be issued to the previous pool, but you will still be able to claim the rewards you’ve already earned.

Make sure to move your assets to the new pool to keep earning rewards without interruption. New WeHMND/USDC staking contract: https://mainnet.biostaker.hmnd.app/biostaker/0xBbcb2F741A69D2B90471FB65b1820F3D4cf8746a

If you’re not staking yet, the new pool is a chance to get started, with good APR.

Here’s how you can start staking:

v0.2 of Vortex Alpha is live!

v0.1 helped test the core governance flow. v0.2 builds on that with a cleaner and more consistent interface across the app.

The new version has:

* clearer navigation for Governance, Institutions, and System
* redesigned Feed and Proposal cards
* updated Formation project cards with status, budget, milestones, and team info
* cleaner My Governance and Profile pages
* a simpler Invision dashboard for system health
* a new Fire theme, along with Sky, Light, and Night


Vortex is still in Alpha. v0.2 mainly focuses on making the app easier to move through, easier to read, and more consistent across pages.
