Part one was about how crypto got captured.

Part two is about the one architectural piece that made capture this easy in the first place: the stack can read capital, it cannot read people: https://blog.humanode.io/the-human-problem-crypto-kept-deferring/

The next Humanode Community Call is coming up on Thursday, June 25th.

If you’ve been wondering what’s been happening across Humanode lately, this is the place to catch up.

We’ll talk through the latest updates on Humanode’s direction, what’s moving inside Vortex, what’s happening across the ecosystem, and what the team has been working on behind the scenes.

The goal is simple: keep the community close to the work, the thinking, and the next steps.

whenever doubt creeps in, remember the anthem 👆

As you know, the previous WeHMND/WETH biostaking contract ended today.

But here’s the good news: we’ve deployed a new WeHMND/WETH pool that went live at block 18676876 (at est. 2026-06-27 06:15:29 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.

Here’s the new pool: https://mainnet.biostaker.hmnd.app/biostaker/0xc0057dadF329E3Ac0d7c7f692d71f79e9F693d94

Make sure to move your assets to the new pool to keep earning rewards without interruption.

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

Dev Log #18 is live.

The major update is Initiatives.

Human Nodes now have persistent workspaces to organize governance work before it becomes a formal proposal. Each Initiative can have members, roles, boards, threads, chat, proposal links, and full provenance across Feed, profiles, and proposal surfaces.

This update also cleans up Feed routing, Invision status signals, and Formation credit timing.

Blockchains and AI were meant to give us freedom.

Now they're quickly becoming tools for authoritarian control.

This future actually described in a sci-fi book where Humanode is the resistance:

If you needed a live, on-chain demo of why "decentralized governance" is often just a marketing term slapped on a plutocracy, watch one delegate with roughly 50% of the voting power veto a security council proposal and call it democracy.

The whole thing looks like drama from the outside, but what’s actually at stake is whether a DAO with a $350M treasury can make a binding decision when one wallet holds veto power.

ENS DAO is the latest proof that token-weighted governance turns capital concentration into political power.

The real takeaway: governance design is the product now, and degens who ignore that are the ones most exposed when the next vote gets bought.

Hey everyone, a quick reminder that the weekly Humanode Community Call is happening this Thursday, July 9.

We’ll catch up on where Humanode is right now, what the team has been working on, and the latest movement around Vortex and the wider ecosystem. It’s also a good chance to ask the founders questions directly, share feedback, or just listen in if you’ve missed a few updates lately.

You can hop on stage, or drop your questions in chat if talking is not convenient.

Hope to see you there.

Why does every onchain AI service gate everything behind payment while ChatGPT and Claude lets you dive right in?

It's not a product problem, it's an incentive problem. Here's how proof of unique human changes the math:  https://blog.humanode.io/chatgpt-level-onboarding-for-onchain-agents/

We are proud to stand together and build standards in Internet Court alongside fellow founding partners.

Hey everyone, the next Humanode Community Call is happening this Thursday, July 16.

We’ll catch up on Vortex, ecosystem updates, what the team has been working on, and Humanode’s role in the agentic Internet Court, helping AI agents carry a private, verified-human signal. Because apparently agents need to prove there’s a real human somewhere in the loop before taking each other to court.

🕑14:00 UTC

Come listen, ask questions, or just show up to talk about the agent courtroom drama.

Every blockchain is secured by money or machines. More stake or more hardware buys more control, and we called that decentralization for a decade.

Humanode runs on the opposite: one verified human, one node, one vote. A network where power can't be bought.

We released a new site that shows the idea behind Humanode thoroughly:
