1 hour after the biometric reset already 1 000 validators biometrically authenticated and were back in the validator set. Different countries and continents. All unique people throughout the world interconnected in a single gesture of coordinated decentralization. It's a miracle.

Humanode’s commitment to decentralization and security demands a diversified ecosystem of trusted liveness detection solutions. Currently, Humanode relies exclusively on FaceTec for its biometric identity verification needs. This article investigates alternative providers, comparing their technologies, integration capabilities, certifications, and more.

As the Humanode Biomapper c1 stands at the junction of absolute success, it finds its way on JANCTION, a popular L2 chain focusing on AI on JASMY, Japan's largest Web3 project. JANCTION is on their testnet, getting ready for mainnet launch.

With Biomapper on JANCTION testnet, apps and services being developed on JANCTION will be able to provide Sybil-resistance by utilizing the private and secure biometric authentication of Biomapper from the get go!

Starting today, the Humanode Biomapper c1 SDK is available for Janction, so for those interested in adding Biomapper to their built apps or have brand new ideas for possible services you can build, check out the SDK and the developer's guide below!

Building an AI-focused dApp on Janction?

Ensuring unique participation is key to fair GPU resource sharing, accurate data verification, and robust AI collaboration and that is what Biomapper does in a private and secure way.

From small hops, to giant steps, to huge jumps. Biomapper c1 is on a roll, and things are about to go wilder. Today, we are happy to announce that the Humanode Biomapper c1 SDK is now available on Arbitrum.

For those of you who may not be tech-savvy, Arbitrum is a Layer-2 blockchain that speeds up and lowers the cost of transactions on Ethereum. And yes, for those of you who work with smart contracts or dapps, and know the pain of the gas fees on Ethereum, you understand why Arbitrum is so loved.

Arbitrum aims to enhance the scalability, security, and accessibility on the Ethereum chain, and already has 900+ dApps running on its chain.

So, it is only natural that we felt that the builders on Arbitrum would more than enjoy the utility, security, and the Sybil-resistance that Biomapper brings!

With a few lines of code, builders on Arbitrum will be able to add the proven, private, and secure biometric authentication of Biomapper to their applications or services.

This may not seem exciting, that is, until you realize that your users will not have to jump through hoops or an unnecessary KYC process to verify that they are a real living human being, and that Sybil-resistance can bring new possibilities and business opportunities to Web3 services and De-Fi.

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

Airdrops, governance, staking, token claims, even DeFi;

If your dApp on Arbitrum relies on real users, you need Sybil resistance.

Here’s how to add it with Humanode Biomapper: https://blog.humanode.io/how-to-verify-real-users-in-your-arbitrum-dapp/

Let’s be honest for a sec.

You didn’t come to Web3 to build for staking giants or watch DAOs get hijacked by whales.

But here we are—governance is broken, Sybil attacks are everywhere, and most blockchains reward capital, not contribution.

What happened to decentralization? What happened to equality?

Somewhere along the way, the dream got buried under VC chains, token-weighted voting, and pay-to-play validation.

We felt that too. And that’s why we’re building Humanode.

One human = one node = one vote.
Not metaphorically. Literally.

And with Humanode 1.0, we’re going all in on making it real with an actual ecosystem that reflects those values.

We’re aiming for 10 meaningful dApps powered by biometric Sybil resistance.
Biostaker, Biomapper, and Catacomb Crawlers are already here.

And we have a $10 million funding program to back teams who want to build where decentralization isn’t just a pitch; it’s baked into the chain.

So if you’ve been asking yourself:

“Where do I build something that actually aligns with what I believe in?”

This is your invitation to build it with us.

Here’s what we’re doing—and how you can be part of it: https://blog.humanode.io/humanodes-ecosystem-expansion-the-final-pillar-of-1-0/

The time has come for the first, of hopefully many, Humanode Community Interviews! For today, we would like to introduce a Human Node originally from Indonesia, Redd!

Ever wondered why Biomapper switches generations every 6 months?

It's about protecting data privacy, staying ahead of cyber threats, and ensuring active users. This means wiping old CVMs, renewing security keys, and refreshing smart contracts.

Here's the complete breakdown: https://blog.humanode.io/why-do-biomapper-generations-change-every-six-months/

700K+ bio-verified people and counting.
Real users. Not Sybils. Not bots.

And they still think Humanode is a small project?

From Discord to Telegram, games to DeFi dApps, L1s to optimistic rollups,
From DAO governance to staking, AI to DeSci, Humanode is quietly everywhere.

BotBasher is guarding Discord and Telegram. Biomapper is scaling. The Humanode Chain is active.

Here’s a look at who’s building with Humanode.

Another two weeks, another leap into the future. Here’s what’s new in the Humanode ecosystem:

TL;DR
⚡️ Biomapper C1 SDK now live on Arbitrum & Janction Testnet – seamless Sybil resistance for more chains

🔄 Biometric server update & reset completed

🌍 Ecosystem Expansion – the final pillar of Humanode 1.0

📅 Why Biomapper generations reset every 6 months? Now you know.

🔬 Research: exploring alternative liveness detection for decentralization

🗣 Community Interview #1: Redd – validator stories begin


Plug in. Stay ahead. Help shape what’s next.

What happens when Sybil-resistance is ignored in Web3? Disaster and destruction of many projects and ideas full of potential. So then, what happens when Sybil-resistance becomes available with ease on the largest modular L2 network? It turns into a field of gold.

Humanode is happy to announce that the Biomapper c1 SDK is now available on Manta, the go-to multi-modular ecosystem.

For those 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. It is the tool that not only keeps the biometrics private and secure from third parties, but it also keeps the data secret from even Humanode. All the system will ever know is if the face that it just scanned is in the system or not, and ensuring that the face is only tied to one account or wallet address.

No matter how two-faced a user can be, unless he biologically has two faces, one user, one account can be made the standard with just a few lines of code for those who build on Manta.
