Dear Human Nodes and Future Human Nodes,

We would like to share a bit of good news with you. Due to the HMND rising in price somewhat, and more importantly due to more activity on the network, for the past 2 weeks Humanode has been able to cover 100% of the fees required to subsidize the validator nodes on the Humanode Network from transaction fees and fees for bio-authentication!

For the first time in Humanode history, we can claim that we have a self-sufficient network! But why stop here when we can grow further?

Although we had limited the number of validator nodes that received payment, it may be time to raise the number of those participating in the validation, and the number of those who receive payment for the task. In the past, we had been limited, only being able to subsidize 150 validators.

However, as you all know, our goal has always been to gradually raise the number to tens of thousands of validators, allowing us to claim the unshakable title of being the most decentralized blockchain in the world.

The team has begun internal discussions concerning the expansion of the validator pool, and we should be able to share some news with you shortly.

In the meantime, if you are not yet a Humanode validator, and would be interested in becoming one, this may be the chance for you to learn more about how you can become a true Human Node!

Dear Human nodes, Community members and Friends,

We're increasing our number of subsidized validator spots from 150 to 1,000, with a goal to eventually reach 10,000. This expansion opens up new opportunities for anyone interested in becoming a validator.

We're moving towards becoming the top decentralized network in the world. Right now, we're ranked third on Nakamoto coefficient, but with your help, we can get to number one.

We've also updated our validator rewards rule to better match the effort and performance of our validators. Our new rules make sure being a validator is fair and rewarding for everyone.

Development Update
12th March – 19th March

Greetings, Humanode community! Here's the latest scoop from the heart of Humanode's development:

🔺 Blockchain Progress
Over the last week, our team has been dedicated to Substrate updates. v0.9.43 is nearing completion. For the update to Polkadot SDK v1.0, we will switch to an alternative approach to maintaining our forks via patchlists. For a detailed breakdown, head over to Humanode GitHub.

🔺 Tests for Mock Contracts in Biomapper SDK
We're writing tests for Biomapper SDK Mock contracts to ensure robustness and reliability. By rigorously testing our contracts, we aim to provide developers with a seamless integration experience.

🔺OAuth 2.0 Service Counter
In our OAuth 2.0 Service, users will soon be able to view the number of online visitors directly on the interface. This feature provides real-time insight into user engagement, enhancing convenience for a smoother experience.

🔺 Contacting New Biometric Providers
Our team is fully immersed in the exploration of integrating more matching and liveness detection providers to enhance decentralization within Humanode’s biometric infrastructure. In line with this commitment, we're actively reaching out to selected biometric providers for collaboration.

🔺 Mainnet Site Localization PoC
We've made a proof of concept for localizing the mainnet site, aiming to cater to a broader global audience. Significant advancements have been made over the past week in this endeavor.

🔺 Frontend Refinements
We've fine-tuned the mainnet website and BotBasher landing page, refining user experience and accessibility. Check out counters, showcasing stats such as 2.2M bioverifications and BotBasher integration across 530 servers.


Stay tuned as we continue to unveil exciting developments on the horizon!

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 by achieving self-sufficiency, signaling the network’s ability to sustain itself independently. This crucial moment in Humanode’s history is attributed to the rise in HMND price and increased network activity, enabling Humanode to cover 100% of validator node subsidies through transaction and bio-authentication fees.

Moreover, Humanode is expanding its validator pool, increasing subsidized spots from 150 to 1,000, with ambitious plans to eventually reach 10,000 validators. This expansion presents new opportunities for individuals interested in participating as validators, aligning with the project’s goal of becoming the top decentralized network globally. Alongside this expansion, the team has updated validator rewards rules to ensure fairness and proper recognition of validators’ efforts and performance.

On the development front, progress is evident across various aspects of the project. The Substrate has seen updates, with v0.9.43 nearing completion and preparations underway for the transition to Polkadot SDK v1.0. Rigorous testing of Biomapper SDK Mock contracts is ongoing to enhance reliability and integration experiences for developers. Additionally, enhancements in the OAuth 2.0 Service will provide users with real-time insight into online visitor numbers, improving user experience. Progress continues on Biometric Server 2.0 discussions, aiming for enhanced security and functionality of private biometrics. Efforts are also underway to integrate more biometric providers, enhancing decentralization within Humanode’s biometric infrastructure.

As for partnerships, Nibiru has collaborated with Humanode to revolutionize its airdrop processes. By incorporating Humanode’s crypto-biometric technology and BotBasher, Nibru ensures a Sybil-proof airdrop mechanism. As a result, over 151,000+ unique individuals have earned the ‘Likely Human’ role, effectively eliminating bots and multiple accounts that often exploit airdrops. Humanode has teamed up with Orbofi, an ultimate AI-generated content engine for web3, games, and every online community. Orbofi is using Humanode BotBasher to ensure Sybil-resistant in its Discord. Also, Vent Finance, a prominent community crowdfunding ecosystem facilitating compliant token sales of high-quality projects, has integrated Humanode’s BotBasher.

In terms of awareness and events, the Humanode team engaged with the community in a Founders Talk session on Discord, discussing current developments, and goals. The Galxe Radio Show, scheduled for March 21st, will spotlight Humanode, offering insights into the project’s innovative approach. Listeners can also participate in the GalxeOAT giveaway for a chance to win Smart Balance.

Furthermore, the team is organizing a workshop on Humanode Biomapper this Saturday at 3 PM UTC. This workshop focuses on deploying Sybil-resistant DApps and creating smart contracts using Humanode Biomapper. Participants will explore theoretical concepts and engage in practical exercises using the Biomapper SDK. Save your spot!

Additionally, the Galxe Biomapper Saga has concluded successfully, with thousands of participants joining the campaign and receiving rewards proportional to their contributions.

That’s all for today. See you in two weeks!

Like reading stories? We do too. Therefore we would like to introduce the first novel based on a dystopian future where everything went wrong, well almost everything.

It is based on a future that the Humanode team would like to prevent at all costs. Naturally, it is based in a world from the twisted imagination of Shannon Higgins, our Humanode Media Team Lead.

2067 is a series of 10 stories based in the walled city of ShinTokyo, Japan in the year 2067.
The first story is the story of Yuu, a boy raised in the slums of ShinTokyo, and his flight to fight for a better future, in which he hopes he will not be “harvested” by the mega-corporations.

The story is scheduled to be updated once a week, so look forward to the future unfolding every Friday.

Title: 2067 - the equilibrium Chapter: Yuu
Text and Photography: Shannon O Higgins

Plot:
It has been 42 years since an earthquake destroyed the city formerly known as Tokyo. It has also been 42 years since the beginning of the end of the world as we had known. It wasn’t one big incident that took the world down, it was just a chain reaction triggered by international conflicts, global warming, the awakening of AIs, civil wars, the weakening of governments, and the domination of international conglomerates that did the job. The world is about to face another paradigm shift, mankind just doesn’t know it yet.
