The second Human Node interview just dropped

This time we sat down with Caraka, a dev, student, solo node runner, who found Humanode through an airdrop and stuck around for the fairness, simplicity, and vision.

Building on Nibiru?

Now you can make sure every wallet in your app belongs to a real, unique person - no KYC, no docs.

Biomapper is live on Nibiru.

Here’s how to add Proof of Personhood with just a few lines of code: https://blog.humanode.io/how-to-add-proof-of-personhood-to-your-app-on-nibiru/

Looks like someone out there decided to put Humanode on Wikipedia.

If you’ve ever struggled to explain what Humanode is to your friends, well… now you’ve got a wiki link to drop.

One day, we hope that one human = one node = one vote ethos will become a staple in the future of finance and web3.

For now, let’s keep building.

Here's the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanode


Let's spread the news on X.

It’s been a while since the last Founders Talk…

This Friday at 14:00 UTC, Dato and Victor are getting back on the mic.
And this time, the topic’s a little different.

We’re keeping things under wraps for now,
but let’s just say… something’s brewing.

If you’ve been following Humanode, now’s a good time to tune in and hear it straight from the source.

Here’s the plan:
🗓️ Friday, May 16th
⏰ 14:00 UTC
📍 X | YouTube | Humanode Announcements Telegram Channel | Discord

Another two weeks, another leap toward a human future. Here’s what’s lighting up the Humanode ecosystem:

✨ Biomapper C1 now live on Nibiru & Hemi — seamless Sybil resistance for more Web3 apps

🛡 SRGate vs the rest — who’s really building login that respects privacy & personhood?

🗳 DAOs, it’s time to rethink token voting

🧑‍💻 Community Interview #2: Meet Caraka, solo node runner & believer

🎙 Founders Talk returns – May 16, 14:00 UTC

🌎 Humanode now has a Wikipedia page


Plug in, stay ahead, and help shape what’s next.

Humanode envisions a world where every individual counts equally - one person, one node, one voice. Today, we're proud to unveil the Humanode Manifesto, outlining our mission for truly decentralized, egalitarian future.

Read the Manifesto: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/humanode-manifesto

If you agree with what we stand for - sign it!

In addition, we've released a new Whitepaper v 0.9.7 "Instrumentality of Mankind".

Humanode Founders Talk is happening today at 14:00 UTC!

Dato and Victor are going live to discuss the Humanode Manifesto: the ethos, the vision, and, above all, the why behind it all.

Dear Humanode Community and friends,
Due to technical issues we are moving the Founders Talk to X Space.
We're live. Join us!

PoW = machines.
PoS = money.
PoBU = real, unique humans.

Which one do you trust?

Before DAOs and DeFi, there were tribal councils and peer-to-peer bulletin boards.
Decentralization isn’t new; it’s ancient.
But every system, old or new, faces the same problem:
Who gets to speak? And how many times?

Biomapper on Unichain!

Considering all that jazz about Biomapper with cross-chain functionality and all of its bells and whistles, perhaps it is time to hit Unichain.

Yes, Biomapper c1 SDK has been deployed on Unichain, making its private and secure uniqueness verification available for all of their builder community!

For those who 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, which now allows private and secure uniqueness verification to go cross-chain.

Unichain is a high-performance Layer 2 (L2) blockchain developed to enhance Ethereum's scalability and efficiency, particularly for decentralized finance (DeFi). Built on Optimism's OP Stack, Unichain reduces costs by approximately 95% compared to Ethereum Layer 1 and enables near-instant transaction finality.

If you are a developer or builder and want to figure out how to add biometric-based Sybil resistance to your dApp, we will be releasing in-depth guides for developers. But you can also delve into the SDK right now!

We are looking forward to assisting Unichain to become one of the foundations of a Sybil-resistant economic platform that the world deserves!

From tribal councils to BitTorrent, from Bitcoin to DAOs. Part 1 mapped the rise of decentralized systems.

In Part 2, we continue with the advent of blockchain built on consensus that recognizes human existence as authority.

Dear Human Nodes,

Today, we are announcing an upcoming temporary change to the validator fee distribution.

Read the full announcement here: https://blog.humanode.io/human-nodes-fee-distribution-update/

If you're building on Unichain, you can now verify real users and filter out bots that too, without KYC or asking for ID docs.

Easy cryptographic proof of personhood in a private and secure way.

You can add Humanode Biomapper for Sybil resistance with just a few lines of code. Here's how: https://blog.humanode.io/how-to-add-sybil-resistance-to-your-dapp-on-unichain/

Dear Human Nodes,

Following our recent announcement regarding the temporary change to the validator fee distribution, we’ve seen an outpouring of thoughtful suggestions and valuable discussion from the community.

First off, thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts, and as always, we want to ensure that important decisions are made not only with transparency but with fairness and community involvement.

There were a few thoughtful suggestions from community members, like Lorento suggested a model where those who complete 84/84 receive the baseline rewards to cover server costs, and the rest are distributed among 1000 randomly selected human nodes.

CabirBTC suggested increasing the cap to 1400 and splitting the full amount among them, while pausing new validator entries to maintain balance.

These ideas reflect the same core values that built Humanode: fairness, sustainability, and shared ownership.

As mentioned in our previous announcement, the upcoming cycle will introduce a temporary change, where only 1000 nodes will receive validator rewards.

While this update is intended to safeguard the sustainability of the network in the short term, we understand that there are different ways to approach this situation and different perspectives on what “fair” looks like.

So, in true Humanode fashion (one human = one vote), we’re opening this up to you.

We are conducting a poll in Humanode Discord ⁠sr-polls channel, where human nodes can choose from the following suggested options.

1000 validators with 84/84 get $25/month, chosen randomly,

All 84/84 validators share the fees equally, but the amount of fees is reduced (amount depends on total number),

All 84/84 validators get $10, and the rest of the fee goes to 1000 randomly selected validators,

Note: Random Selection is temporary until we have PoT/PoD. Also for the current cycle the validator rewards will be distributed as per the current distribution rules.

Vote here: ⁠sr-polls⁠

We encourage every validator and community member to participate and help us shape a system that reflects the true spirit of decentralized decision-making.

Thank you

Humanode Core
