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.

Development Update
26th March – 2nd April

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

🔺 CVM (Confidential Virtual Machine) Updates
The CVM has undergone updates, including dependency upgrades, assembly corrections, and the installation of Docker and gVisor. Detailed insights are available on Humanode GitHub.

🔺 Exploring CVM Attestation
Our team continues experimental research on CVM attestation. Last week, they developed a Rust utility for attestation, including a web transport server and web transport client. POC complete.

🔺 Research on Nakamoto Coefficient
The team delved into researching the Nakamoto coefficient’s implications on network scenarios. We've identified a tool that allows for simulating the state of the network, including the number and status of its members.

🔺 BotBasher Enhancements
Discussions are ongoing regarding enhancements in BotBasher, including plans to display Discord usernames after facial scanning and implement a ticket system for streamlined communication. Additionally, we're working on a system to refresh tokens for users for the next generation.

🔺 Assert on Balance Invariant
To maintain the integrity of the platform, we wrote an assert on the balance invariants. This ensures that the balance of accounts within our system remains consistent and accurate, thereby enhancing overall security and reliability.

🔺 Mainnet Site Localization
Our proof of concept for localizing the mainnet site is ongoing, marking significant progress in global outreach. We're initiating the translation of website content into different languages, engaging translators to support this initiative.

🔺 Contacting New Biometric Providers
In our commitment to decentralization, we're actively reaching out to biometric providers for collaboration. We aim to integrate more matching and liveness detection solutions to enhance the security of Humanode's biometric infrastructure.
Days after becoming the most decentralized Layer 1 by the Nakamoto Coefficient, Humanode's BioDeFi LP staking, specifically the HMND/USDC liquidity pool on Impossible Finance DEX, has reached over $1,000,000 in Total Value Locked (TVL).

This Sybil-resistant, biometric-based staking model offers Annual Percentage Rates (APR) that range from 50% for whales to as high as 500% for smaller liquidity providers to create a more equitable DeFi ecosystem.

The BioDeFi staking model is designed to distribute rewards in a non-linear fashion, favoring smaller liquidity providers. The use of crypto-biometrics makes sure each user's unique, ensuring that each individual can only stake LP tokens using a single address, without sharing her personal info.
