Comparing consensus (Sybil-resistance) mechanisms:

Proof of Work vs. Proof of Stake vs. Proof of Biometric Uniqueness

Human nodes,

We have shipped the fix for consensus issue we have discovered recently.

The target version is eb403adcc6fa545c28e99d73d7e0be38054439ca

If you are running the node using Humanode Launcher, go to Settings and Click on Check for Peer Updates.

You know that feeling when you’re watching a show and everything is going smooth and then out of the blue, there’s a twist that leaves you on the edge of your seat?

Well, same thing can occur with a blockchain when it’s the consensus mechanism suddenly fails.

From a 51% attack on Bitcoin Gold to the PoS failure that halted the entire network, these incidents could either break a blockchain or lead it to innovations.

In our latest article, we dive into some real-life blockchain incidents where Proof of Stake(PoS) and Proof of Work (PoW) mechanisms hit the wall and what happened next:

⚡️Bitcoin Gold - A 51% attack that left $18 million double-spent.
⚡️Ethereum Classic - A costly reorganization that made everyone rethink blockchain security.
⚡️Dymension's Mainnet Launch - Proof of Stake failure that halted the entire network.

And the big question ‘What If’ Bitcoin’s consensus mechanism were to fail? Could it happen?

Learn how these failures affect the blockchains and why it might be a good time to look at new consensus mechanisms like Humanode’s Proof of Biometric Uniqueness (PoBU)

Elys Network integrated Humanode’s BotBasher in its Discord and is using it as a requirement to participate in its upcoming airdrop.

To join the airdrop, you’ll need to get the BotBasher verified role—so only unique real humans participate.

This integration fixes a big issue in crypto where airdrops, like ZKsync’s and many others, got overrun by Sybils, leaving the community behind. With Botbasher, community members can be sure it remains a fair game.

For Elys Network, this means they can drop rewards fairly without needing your personal info or KYC, keeping things genuine with the community.

For the community members, it’s a secure, fair, and privacy-friendly way to join in, without having to compete with Sybils.


To get your 'Human Verified' role head to Elys Network’s https://discord.gg/elysnetwork

The process is simple: 
1. Click on ‘Linked Roles’ from the server’s drop-down menu and select ‘Human Verified’
2. Follow the prompts to connect your Discord and complete private face verification.
3. Enjoy your Verified status

Summer 2024 Incident: Causes, Impact, and Resolution

This summer, the Humanode network experienced a hiccup—blocks stopped finalizing on the mainnet. This is a global issue for all Polkadot chains. Our team jumped into action and had everything back on track within two hours, but we knew we needed to dig deeper. This report breaks down what caused the issue, how we handled it, and the long-term fixes we’ve put in place to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Welcome to the weekend, and part 2/4 of The Book of Aki, the 5th chapter of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel, 2067 -the equilibrium- written by the Humanode Media Team lead Shannon Higgins.

The die has been cast and the D-Day for the largest cyber-attack on the Community network is approaching.

All Aki knows, is that an unprecedented attack is likely. All Takashi wishes for is to overcome the shadow that haunts him.

With the Awakened AIs “lending” their hands in order to fulfill their desires, human beings become chess pieces on the board.

When you think about consensus (Sybil-resistance) mechanisms, what’s the first thing that pops into your head? Mining power? Stake size? Probably.

And if we’re honest, it’s easy to feel a little uncomfortable with that. Like, deep down, you know the idea that “whoever has the most money wins” isn’t exactly the decentralized utopia we all signed up for.

Maybe you’ve even had moments where you thought, “Is there really no better way than this?

What if we tell you Humanode’s biometric uniqueness consensus mechanism flips the noscript? One that doesn’t care how much capital you hold or how many tokens you’ve staked?

Let’s dip into a world where power comes from the uniqueness of you, not the size of your wallet: https://blog.humanode.io/decentralization-through-biometric-uniqueness/

This Friday, we’re hosting a Founder Talk with Dato and Victor!

We’ll be talking about “The Forgotten Values of Crypto”— It’s going to be a casual session where we shed light on the original ideas behind crypto and get your thoughts on how we can bring them back.

Here’s the plan ⬇️

🗓 When: Friday, September 27th, 2024

You’re probably wondering if Humanode’s Proof of Biometric Uniqueness is really as solid as we describe it. You’ve heard the pitch – biometrics over capital, privacy over profit.

But does it actually hold up when you dig into the technical details?

Let's find out in this technical overview of How Humanode’s bio-authentication system works.

Welcome to the weekend, and part 3/4 of The Book of Aki, the 5th chapter of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel, 2067 -the equilibrium- written by the Humanode Media Team lead Shannon Higgins.

The first seeds have been planted, and the attack is underway.

Aki recognises a fingerprint behind the first attack, and knows that what hit the Community was mere foreplay… And foreplay it is. Several lines of malicious code is finding its way in unsuspecting Community members, waiting for their moment to be activated.
