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

This Friday, we’re bringing you a special Fireside chat with our guests from Catacomb Crawlers—Co-founder Florin Mitu and CMO Alex Carbunariu!

They’ll join Dato, Humanode Co-founder, to dive into all things Catacomb Crawlers, the first Sybil-resistant game on the Humanode network. 🕹️

🗓️ When: Friday, October 11th, 2024

⏰ Time: 2 PM UTC

See you there! 👾🔥

Dear Verified humans,
As previously announced, BotBasher has been updated to Gen5 and the server has been reset. Gen4 roles are deprecated and can no longer be obtained.

For everything to work smoothly, the server administrator of your Discord will need to create a new role based on the latest generation i.e. Gen5 BotBasher.

Some servers may not update immediately. For those on the Humanode Discord server, you can go ahead and become a verified Human again.

As a note, this one verification process will be good for all Gen5 Discord Servers, and you will just need to tie your freshly verified account to the new role on all servers supporting Liveness active Gen5.

To do next:

1. Server admins - prepare new roles (or tweak and update current roles). Check this article out to see how to do it: https://blog.humanode.io/botbasher-update-announcement-for-server-administrators/

2. Users/Everyone else - claim your new roles! (i.e. Go to linked roles, and select your role (in the case of Humanode, Verified Human)). It is important to remember that you can only tie your biometrics to ONE Discord account. If you tie it to the wrong account, well, you will have to wait 6 months for the next reset.

We thank you all for joining our resistance towards Sybil's attacks and are looking forward to seeing you all as Verified human beings again!

Biomapper servers update and reset 

Dear LP stakers and community, 

The biometric servers for Humanode Biostaker have been updated and rebooted. 

Please Biomap to make sure you can claim your rewards. 

Keep in mind, this update doesn't affect your stakes in any way, however, you must Biomap to be able to claim your rewards.

One other thing to note is that this update of the biometric servers will not affect BotBasher verification, and all previous encrypted biometric data is deleted forever during this process. 

Thank you for your cooperation!

Biometric servers update and reset 

Dear human nodes,

The biometric servers have been updated, and have been rebooted. 
Please re-enroll and re-authenticate to ensure that your node continues to run seamlessly without missing an epoch. 

Keep in mind that you do not need to rotate the keys but you must re-enroll.

One other thing to note is that this update of the biometric servers will not affect BotBasher verification, and all previous encrypted biometric data is deleted forever during this process. 

Thank you for your cooperation!

Tune in on your favorite platform—see you soon! 👀🔥

The gaming world’s got a serious Sybil problem—bots and scammers messing up in-game economies and making it unfair for real, dedicated players. It’s a mess, and it annoys every gamer.

Catacomb Crawlers realizes this problem and says nope, not here. That's why it’s going to be the first game to integrate Humanode's cryptobiometric tech to keep Sybils away. One person, one account. That’s it!

And the best part? You only have to prove you're a unique human when it matters—when you enter the marketplace or trade NFTs. No constant verification, no game interruptions. Just play, have fun, and when you want to trade, you perform a quick private biometric check. Simple as that.

Learn how they plan to keep their marketplace Sybil free: https://blog.humanode.io/how-humanodes-tech-makes-catacomb-crawlers-game-sybil-resistant/
