Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.70
6th March — 20th March

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.

Development Update
19th March – 26th March

Here's what the Humanode dev team has been up to in the past two weeks:

🔺 Blockchain Progress
Our team has been deeply engrossed in Substrate updates. v0.9.42 now features fungibles, and v0.9.43 has been successfully merged and updated. As we gear up for the transition to Polkadot SDK v1.0, we're exploring a new approach to maintaining our forks through patchlists. Detailed insights are available on Humanode GitHub.

🔺Bioauth Events-Related Improvements
Moreover, we've implemented improvements related to bioauth events that enable to distinguish whether a bioauthentication has expired or incurred an offense, such as being offline.

🔺 Exploring CVM Attestation via QUIC
We've embarked on experimental research concerning CVM attestation. Our current focus revolves around investigating the feasibility of attesting connections through QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections). With QUIC accessible via JavaScript in web browsers, it opens up exciting possibilities, including the potential utilization of HTTP/3 via web transport.

🔺 OAuth 2.0 Service Counter
We've deployed a new counter tool in our OAuth 2.0 Service. Users can now conveniently view the number of online visitors directly on the interface.

🔺 Tests for Mock Contracts in Biomapper SDK
We completed writing tests for Mock Contracts in Biomapper SDK to ensure robustness and reliability.

🔺 Biomapper Workshop
We held a Biomapper Workshop focused on deploying Sybil-resistant DApps and creating smart contracts using Humanode Biomapper.

🔺 Mainnet Site Localization
Our proof of concept for localizing the mainnet site is almost ready. This week, we're initiating the translation of website content into different languages.

🔺 BotBasher Enhancements
Discussions have been underway regarding enhancements in BotBasher. Plans include displaying Discord usernames after facial scanning and implementing a ticket system to streamline communication between the team and the community while preventing spam.
I am human, I am a human node.
Word of the day: eHMND
The Humanode Chain now has 531 active validator nodes! This also means that the Nakamoto Coefficient is 177, making the Humanode Network is the No.1 Blockchain network as far as the Nakamoto Coefficient is concerned and can be considered to be the most decentralized.!

The current No.2 is Mina, which has a Nakamoto Coefficient of 124, and No.3 is Polkadot, with 94.

Although this is a moment to celebrate this achievement, we believe that this is only the beginning. Our next target is 1,000 nodes which will give us a Nakamoto Coefficient of 334, and then to 10,000 for a Nakamoto Coefficient of 3334, until we eventually hit millions of nodes globally creating the only true unshakeable decentralized network in the world!

Invite your friends and family to become a Human Node. The only stake needed to launch a node is to securely and privately scan your face and prove you are a unique human being who is alive. For more information on how to launch a node, click here.
