Humanode is integrating with Load Network as a decentralized high-performance archive node

This means you can now stream historical chain data straight to your node using the load:// protocol.

Less time syncing, more time validating.

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 April 3rd, 2025.

➡️ 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,

📢 Biomapper has been deployed on the Moon!
According to the reports, over 390,000 rabbits have already been bioauthenticated, proving that the ancient Japanese saying that rabbits live on the moon was true.

Specialists claim that adding Sybil-resistance to the moon will greatly assist with cutting down on the scams claiming that the moon is made of cheese, that the cheese will become a big-time business, and that all of their projects are heading straight for the moon.

Dato, co-founder of Humanode, has declined to make any comments concerning rabbits on the moon, or about the carrots he was snacking on.

As the Biomapper story unfolds, the Humanode team is excited to announce that the Biomapper c1 SDK is now available on Story!

For those of you who are wondering what Story is all about, Story is a purpose-built layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for intellectual property. In simple terms, Story allows you to register your IP on the blockchain. This IP could be an image, a song, an RWA, AI training data, or anything in between. You can add usage terms to your IP that specify how others can use it.

The key is that by making IP programmable on the blockchain, it becomes this transparent & decentralized global IP repository where AI agents (or any other software) and humans alike can transact on IP.

Just in case you are new to Biomapper, the Humanode Biomapper is one of the core tools of Humanode, a cryptobiometric Layer-1 Blockchain where one human = one node = one vote, known for its use of private biometrics to fight Sybil attacks and to verify that its users are unique real human beings without needing them go through a KYC process.

Now, by adding Biomapper to Story, this can open a whole new world of possibilities. Yes, not only can it make the apps and services that Story Builders create Sybil-resistant, but it can also possibly open the door to Bioauthenticated IP, proving that the person registering the IP is a unique human being, or perhaps even creating a switch to allow terms like “only authenticated humans may use my IP”.

For those interested in adding Biomapper to your built apps or have brand new ideas for possible services you can build, check out the SDK and the developers guide below!

Dear human nodes, LP stakers, verified humans and biomapped individuals,

Biometrics servers reset for Humanode network, Botbasher for Discord & Telegram, and Humanode Biomapper is scheduled to start in about 2 hours from now and can take around 8 hours.

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.

We will keep sharing the reset updates so you can re-bioauthenticate.

Keep an eye to stay updated.

We have started the preparations for the CVM rotation on mainnet; the actual CVM reset is planned at the start of the next epoch ~3 hours from now.

Keep an eye on chain-ops channel in Humanode Discord for latest updates.

Biometric servers update and reset

Dear human nodes,

The biometric servers for Humanode Mainnet have been updated, and reset for Biometric AI upgrades.

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.

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

Thank you for your cooperation!

Biomapper servers update and reset

Dear LP stakers and biomapped individuals,

The generation for Humanode Biomapper have been updated following Biometric AI upgrades.

Please Biomap again to make sure you stay Biomapped. Especially for LP Stakers, keep in mind, that this update doesn't affect your stakes in any way, however, you must Biomap to be able to claim your rewards.

Another 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!

BotBasher for Telegram Servers Update & Reset


We've reset BotBasher Telegram version’s CVMs for Biometric AI upgrades.

Users will need to verify and relink their tg accounts to enter the Sybil-resistance channels.

Another thing to note is that this update of the biometric servers will not affect BotBasher for Discord verification. We’ll announce it for the Discord once it’s updated.

Thank you for your cooperation!

A quick reminder: These updates happen because we wipe your already encrypted biometrics every half a year. This is a part of our privacy mechanism to ensure your personal security!

Important Update for Discord Server Admins & Users using BotBasher!

We've reset and updated BotBasher for Discord CVMs for Biometric AI upgrades. BotBasher Gen 6 is now the latest BotBasher generation.

As an admin, your role in this transition is crucial to update to the latest generation (Gen 6) of BotBasher. Please follow this guide for instructions: https://blog.humanode.io/botbasher-update-announcement-for-server-administrators/

Users will need to get the new role in Gen 6. Gen 5 roles are deprecated and can no longer be obtained. For detailed info, follow this link: https://blog.humanode.io/botbasher-update-important-announcement-for-verified-humans-and-all-users/
