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 ⬇️

Voi Network has integrated Humanode’s BotBasher into its Discord!

While it’s not a requirement to increase Voiagers' Testnet Phase 2 scores, getting the Phase 2 role through BotBasher will guarantee the highest multiplier.

This integration makes sure that only unique humans are verified, helping Voi Network to filter Sybils from gaining unfair advantage without asking for personal info or KYC from community members. ,

For the community, it increases your chances of bigger rewards while keeping it fair for everyone.

To get your 'Phase 2' role in Voi Network's Discord: https://discord.gg/voi-network

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

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.

The weekend is upon us, and so is 4/4, the final section 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.

Not only is the largest attack in the Community history pounding down, unknown to Aki, they have less than 6 hours before the world they had built may come to an end… or at least be cut off from the rest of the world. Tetsuro cannot stop grinning, as his dream is finally coming true…

This will be a long one, go fetch a LARGE cup of coffee, get comfortable, and dig in! : https://www.wattpad.com/1481345847-2067-the-equilibrium-the-book-of-aki-part-4-4

📢The time has come to let the cat out of the bag and announce the Humanode ecosystem funding and incubation program to nurture new Sybil-resistant projects on our chain.

Just 5 projects focusing on unique human users adoption will get the love of human nodes. The first one is already feeling it.

Learn more about the incubation program here:

👉 Website: https://incubation.humanode.io/

👉 Blog post: https://blog.humanode.io/humanode-launches-ecosystem-funding-program/

Catacomb Crawlers, a mobile roguelike survival, is launching as the first Sybil-resistant game under Humanode incubation.

Developed by Emeroth Studio, the team that worked on League of Legends, Valorant, Heroes of Newerth, and Final Fantasy, the game attracted 240K+ downloads during its beta just through Web2 marketing.

Catacomb Crawlers will be the first game to launch on the Humanode chain integrating in-game NFTs, marketplace, and utilizing Humanode’s biomapper to combat Sybil attacks on rewards.

Players will only need to prove they are unique real humans when they enter the marketplace to trade tokens for in-game assets or other rewards.

The game stands out not just because of its mechanics but also because of its quality. It’s just good—better than any Web2 competitor in its genre.

And with its ability to attract Web2 gamers into a Web3 environment, it could lead the way for a new era of Web3 games. And it all starts here with Humanode.

Beyond this launch, Emeroth Studio plans to fully adopt the Humanode chain for its future projects, making Catacomb Crawlers the start of a long-term collaboration.

Catacomb Crawlers is the first project to be part of our $10 million Ecosystem Funding Program.

The program focuses on helping projects bring in real, unique users to the Humanode chain through Sybil-resistant tech.

Dear human nodes, LP stakers, and verified humans,

We have an important announcement to share with you regarding the biometrics servers on the Humanode chain and for Botbasher. There will be a scheduled reset to the biometrics servers for CVM and biometrics upgrades on Thursday, October 10th, 2024.

➡️ For node runners, this update means that you will need to go through bioauthentication enrollment to ensure that your node continues to run seamlessly.

We understand that this reset is time-sensitive, and we will make a quick announcement before the reset is initiated so that everyone is ready to re-enroll and re-authenticate within an epoch to avoid downtime in the validator status. (No, you don’t need to set/rotate keys just re-enroll and re-authenticate)

➡️For those who are participating in LP Staking, the update means that you will need to Biomap again to ensure that you can claim staking rewards.

➡️For those who got verified as unique humans in any Discord server, you will have to reverify and get the role again. Similarly, the server admins using Botbasher for Sybil resistance will have to recreate the assigned role. We will publish the instructions for that separately.

One thing to note is that updates to all three servers will not happen at the same time.

Here’s a guideline for you to stay connected and synced on updates:

1️⃣ We will separately announce when each server is updated so that everyone remains synced.

2️⃣Keep an eye on chain-ops and botbasher-ops channels on the Humanode Discord server to remain updated about the progress.

3️⃣Once the reset is completed, there will be an announcement so that you can start the enrollment and authentication immediately.

Do not worry. This is a regular update scheduled every six months, during which we wipe all the biometric data stored and update our servers. So, if you are a human node, you’ll not lose the longevity of running your node as long as you don't change your substrate address and re-enroll and re-authenticate within 1 to 2 hours after the reset.

On the bright side, this is a perfect opportunity for those who lost their keys or want to change to a Substrate address to run a node on the Humanode network and for those who accidentally connected a wrong Discord account for unique human verification.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Humanode Core
