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?

Part 1 of our story: https://blog.humanode.io/a-short-history-of-decentralized-systems-part-1/

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

Humanode Fireside Friday is on!

We’ll be around for a casual catch-up with the community, just to hang out.

No set theme. Could be Humanode updates, crypto talk, or sharing weird internet finds.

Humanodecon 2025 goes west!

The time has come to inform our friends and community members from around the globe of plans for the 2025 Humanode Conference. What first started online, moved to Istanbul last year to have a splendid time with the Turkish community and friends from around the world, will be hopping over to visit the vibrant community in Romania, and have some fun with our partners from Catacomb Crawlers this September!

We will soon announce the official dates, venue, and program, and invite you all to sign up to join us and meet us in person in Romania.

For now, just eye your calendar for early September, plan to visit Romania, and stay tuned for more information!

And for those of you who are way too excited, are looking forward to meeting the Humanode Core Team in person and hanging out with us in Romania, you can whitelist yourself from the following link: https://link.humanode.io/humanodecon-2025/whitelist

Dear Human Nodes and community members,

After announcing the validator fee distribution update, we received a wave of thoughtful feedback from the community. To make sure every verified community member has a chance to weigh in, we’re reopening the Sybil-resistant validator poll - this time for one full week.

We saw strong participation in the first round, but not everyone had the time to cast their vote. So here’s your chance to help shape how validator rewards are distributed moving forward.

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

As a reminder, we are going with the two most discussed options based on community suggestions:
1. 1000 validators with 84/84 get $25/month, chosen randomly,
2. All 84/84 validators share the fees equally, but the amount of fees is reduced (the amount depends on the total number of validators),

Note: Random Selection is temporary until we have PoT/PoD.

📍You can vote now in the ⁠sr-polls channel on Discord.
🕒 Poll closes in 7 days.

This is a Sybil-resistant vote, one human = one vote.

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

The WeHMND/USDC LP staking contract (0xA9dC5E129df2D195db34807847EfeDC1eCE5f924) will come to an end on June 1st, 2025, estimated around 01:10:14 PM UTC, at block 13077390.

This contract has been running for the past 6 months, distributing 14,400 WeHMND/day to LPs through the nonlinear staking model that’s been core to BioDeFi.

If you’re currently staked, keep in mind:
1. Rewards will stop once the contract ends.
2. Your LP tokens are safe, but you’ll need to unstake and migrate to the new contract if you want to keep earning.

We’ll be deploying a new contract for the next 6-month cycle, with the same structure and same rewards. Please keep an eye out for the announcement with information regarding the deployment of the new contract, scheduled for later this week.

For those who are new: Humanode Biostaking is a Sybil-resistant staking model designed to ensure decentralized reward distribution among liquidity providers in a way that rewards are not proportionate to the amount pooled. It uses Humanode private biometric verification to make sure that every participant is unique.
