Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.7
17th September — 2nd October

Sachiel testnet launch, Whitepaper release, An interview with Humanode co-founder Victor, Biometric-based OTC markets overview, Human-based trust networks discussed, and more!

TL;DR
Greetings, crypto enthusiasts from all over the globe! The past two weeks were a part of a breathtaking ride for Humanode!
We are glad to announce that the long-anticipated Humanode testnet — Sachiel — finally went live! Our congratulations to all fantastic teams and the community! We welcome you to test Humanode out as much as possible and give the team feedback! Sachiel, which is onboarding in batches of 50 people, is an Aura and Grandpa testnet based on those consensus modules of Substrate modified for biometric authentication. The participants are able to go through a biometric enrollment process and become human nodes, validate blocks, send transactions, and take part in the $100,000 anti-spoofing bounty program by Humanode partner, FaceTec. Active testnet users will be given priority to become the first generation of human nodes once the mainnet launches in June 2022. 50+ participants already interacting with face detection and faucet in testnet. If you haven’t signed up yet, find the link to the application form in our report below!
The Humanode team has been working fingers to the bone as usual! The progress was minutely shared in their regular dev update. As for the network development, they completed Cargo cleanup, added tests with production key in the robonode server, added the ability to specify the FaceTec SDK production key at the robonode server, added an endpoint to get the robonode public key, updated js types bundle, added jq and curl to docker images, added major bioauth improvements (authentication expiration, refactor), and more.
Considering crypto-biometric search and matching and liveness algorithms, the team added training and evaluation code for FASNetB based liveness detection, modified NN code for FASNetA based liveness detection as well as modified the training and NN code for FASNetA based liveness detection, converted interactive Zero-Knowledge Range Proof (ZKRP) of Bulletproof into NIZKRP, using NIZKRP, created Verifiable Key Generation for ring-LWE scheme, and tested Golang implementation of ZKRP for uniform random numbers.
A few days ago, the team published the Humanode Whitepaper v. 0.9.6 “You are [not] a bot”. This whitepaper dives deep into the philosophy, core concepts, technological details, the mathematics and cryptography that support the groundbreaking cryptobiometric network, and the world-changing vision behind Humanode. A must-read!
The team continues a series of interviews with core team members. Last week, they interviewed Victor Smirnov, co-founder of Humanode. Victor discussed his background, what brought him to the blockchain space, and how he get involved in crypto. He talked about the Humanode testnet, shared his thoughts on the most significant Humanode use cases, and the current state of the crypto industry. Also, they published an interview with Sasha Shilina, researcher at Humanode. Check it out!
Other than that, the Humanode Fireside talk took place in their telegram voice chat. The team discussed human-based trust networks and everything related to them. Listen to the recording on the Humanode Podcast, and join the team on Wednesday for the next ‘Testnet special’ conversation!
Humanode’s latest blog post discusses biometric-based OTC markets. In a nutshell, the Humanode network delivers zero-knowledge liveness verification and identity check back to the OTC platforms without revealing the user’s identity, showing the user is the same genuine human being without utilizing any personally identifiable information. More details in the blog!
Human nodes, get ready for an exciting few weeks which will be even more interesting with you testing the platform!

🔥 Humanode Fireside is starting in an hour!

This time we will be discussing the first-ever Humanode testnet — Sachiel.

As always, we will be open for questions, suggestions, your thoughts, and would like to hear from all of you!

See you in our Telegram voice chat at 16:00 UTC 👉

5th batch invitations were sent out.
The number of human nodes we admit to the testnet = how many nodes will break Granpa and Aura.

Thus the number of batches for Sachiel is still an open question.

As of now there are 6164 applicants.

Really delighted to see so many people willing to test it out without any obvious incentivization.

Thank you for your patience.

Biweekly update on @Humanode vol. 8
1st October — 15th October

Sachiel is in full swing with >6.3K applicants, Internal tests of Humanode app, Humanode founder Victor on ‘The Encrypted Economy’ podcast, An interview with Humanode developer Dmitry, Biometric-based launchpads overview, Sachiel testnet discussed, and more!

Welcome, all crypto fans and tech enthusiasts, to our eighth biweekly report on Humanode!
The long-awaited Humanode testnet — Sachiel — is here and is running smoothly! The participants are able to go through a biometric enrollment process and become human nodes, validate blocks, send transactions, and take part in the $100,000 anti-spoofing bounty program by Humanode partner, FaceTec. It is onboarding in batches. A few days ago, 5th batch of invitations were sent out.
As of now, there are already >6.3K testnet applicants, and >150 participants are interacting with face detection and faucet in testnet. Thank you for your interest, human nodes! Keep in mind that active testnet users will be given priority to become the first generation of human nodes once the mainnet launches in June 2022. So stay in the loop!
Currently, the Humanode teams are operating extremely hard on the major tasks. As part of the development update, they’ve shared what they’ve been working on over the past two weeks.
As for the network development, they implemented timestamp instead of block number at bio-authentication, corrected bio-authentication flow error and status reporting, added smoke-test for the node code at CI, and updated testnet documentation on GitHub and Gitbook.
The team has also been working on the Humanode Desktop App. They generated QR code based on ngrok auto detect, completed initial ngrok integration, added node settings for RPC URL mode and manifest generation noscript, changed installing flow and added workspace, upgraded Material-UI from version 4 to 5, and added better UI for picking binaries.

Also, the Humanode team continues a series of interviews with core team members. This week, they interviewed Dmitry, consensus protocol and DLT engineer at Humanode. Dmitry discussed memorable moments of the Sachiel testnet, shared his vision for Humanode, talked about his background, aspirations, hobbies, and goals in life. Read the interview in the Humanode blog!
Other than that, the Humanode Fireside talk took place last week. The team discussed the Sachiel testnet and everything related. Join the team on Wednesday for the next conversation!
Humanode’s latest blog post discusses biometric-based launchpads. In a nutshell, Humanode enables investor identification which does not demand the sharing of any personal information to formalize a unique human (no KYC). It uses a search-and-matching algorithm to demonstrate the humanness and individuality of its participants. Validated participants are probably unique and human, with the use of cutting-edge liveness detection. Humanode will enable fair distribution of tokens to all token holders, based on the one human, one allocation principle. More details in the blog!
Human nodes, that’s all for today! Have a great weekend!
