TL;DR
Human nodes and friends! Over the past two weeks, the Humanode team continues to drive forward their solution to transform the way we think about decentralization and tech, promoting a more secure and human-centric future. We invite you to join us on this journey, as we continue to explore the developments and vast potential of Humanode in the field of biometrics and blockchain.

First of all, we are thrilled to say that HMND, the native token of Humanode, is now available for trading on KuCoin and Bitmart, two notable cryptocurrency exchanges. This milestone marks a significant step forward for Humanode. The availability of HMND on these exchanges will provide greater liquidity and accessibility to HMND tokens, enabling more people to participate in the Humanode mission to promote a 1 human = 1 node = 1 vote ethos.

Furthermore, last week the team announced that the Humanode repository became open-source. This milestone underscores the Humanode devs’ commitment to transparency, community-driven development, and open collaboration. By making the repository open-source, the team is inviting developers, enthusiasts, and contributors from around the world to engage with the project and provide feedback. Explore the repository, and contribute your skills and knowledge today!

Another exciting news is, the website for Discord BotBasher is now live! As you know, Discord BotBasher is a powerful tool designed to help keep communities safe from malicious bots. The website provides all the information you need to get started. Check it out!

1 person = 1 vote community poll on the increase of the number of human nodes getting rewards to 175 has started in Humanode Discord. To vote, get a Verified Human role using Humanode tech and go to the sr-polls channel!

On top of that, Humanode launches Galxe Campaign. For those who are with Humanode in the 3rd year of its journey and in the initial listing of HMND on KuCoin and BitMart — the team will be giving you a GalxeOAT. Details are in the report below.

Moreover, KuCoin hosted an AMA (Ask-Me-Anything) session and a fireside with the co-founder of Humanode Victor, in the KuCoin Exchange Group and Twitter Space. Also, Humanode co-founder Dato answered community questions during Humanode AMA with Impossible Finance. In case you missed it, read the recap!

And last but not least, the latest research report from Impossible Finance featuring Humanode is out. Dive in for an in-depth analysis of how Humanode uses biometric technology to build a secure and decentralized ecosystem.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Humanode community for their continued support and passion. We are proud to be here with you, as we explore the transformative potential of Humanode. Keep an eye out for more updates! Check out the Humanode's updated website! See you in two weeks!

Lately, MEV exploit on Ethereum has become a hot topic, with everyone discussing and searching for ways to address the issue.

🔔 [Community Signaling 5] Introduce the mechanism of Humanode validator reward slashing.

✔️Get a Verified Human role to participate by clicking on a server name in "linked roles" tab.

The reasoning behind the proposal
The number of missed epochs the validators ranked 150 and lower is 3 or more. 12h in 2 weeks!

Pros
1. If we introduce it - this is a new incentive to validate the uniqueness and existence of the human node on time. Less nodes falling out of consensus every week.
2. We can save the mainnet rewards for productive validators and make our network self-sufficient economically faster.

Cons
I do not see any unless the threshold of slashing is too high.

📊This will be a simple yes/no voting with hidden results. We are going to hold the next vote beginning of the next week to decide how many missed epochs (4 hours each) should become a threshold in case there is a positive outcome.
