Bots are everywhere. Airdrops get farmed. DAOs get Sybiled. It's not just annoying anymore, it’s basically breaking the web.

At Humanode, we’ve been heads down building Sybil resistance without sacrificing decentralization, identity checks without losing privacy, and uniqueness proofs that don't rely on big brother databases.

But we know the fight against Sybils is a collective one, and different approaches may solve different parts of the puzzle.

That's why we're taking a step to explore how our friends in the Anti-Sybil league are trying to solve this puzzle.

In this first article, we're shining a spotlight on Proof of Humanity.

Read the article to learn how PoH works: https://blog.humanode.io/exploring-anti-sybil-approaches-proof-of-humanity/

Yes, every human node has one vote.
But not every governor holds the same proposal power.

From Nominee to Citizen, governance in Humanode is earned: through Proof of Time, Devotion, and Participation.

Dear human nodes,

Running a node has never just been about uptime. You're not a server. You're a person. And one day , hopefully, a Governor of Humanode.

That's why we’re introducing Proof-of-Polls (PoP)

i. Hit 84/84 epochs and vote in the weekly Discord poll? You get the full $25/month.
ii. Skip the poll? You get $12. Enough to cover infra. But not the full reward.

Founders Talk is happening this Friday, June 13th at 14:00 UTC.

Dato and Victor will be going live to chat about validator fee structure stuff, Proof of Polls experiments, and whatever else pops up.

Expect updates, insights, and a casual discussion about where things are headed.

As always, your questions are welcome.

Here’s the plan:
🗓️ When: Friday, June 13th

Tune in on whichever platform works best for you.
See you there!

Fake profiles, stolen identities, and AI-generated fake profiles are breaking trust in dating apps.

Over 64,000 people lost $1B to romance scams in 2024.

Here’s how Humanode helps apps verify real humans without collecting personal data: https://blog.humanode.io/why-dating-apps-need-to-verify-uniqueness/

The results for the very first validator poll are in!

And pleasantly surprising, 861 out of 1400 active human nodes tied their verified Discord accounts and voted, that’s over 60% participation in the very first round. And it’s just the beginning. And we expect more human nodes to participate as we move forward.

Reminder: According to the new validator fee structure, to receive the full $25 validator reward, Human nodes must:
* Achieve 84/84 epochs
* Tie your verified Discord account to your node
* Vote weekly in #validator-polls Discord channel

Those who just complete 84/84 epochs will receive $12 (enough to cover basic cloud costs).

The polls may be simple for now, but they’re the first real step toward Vortex (Humanode DAO).

Here’s a detailed article on the first validator poll and results: https://blog.humanode.io/the-very-first-validator-poll-has-been-concluded/

Humanode Biomapper’s making headlines, but don’t sleep on Humanode BotBasher.

It’s still doing its job, kicking Sybils out of Telegrams and Discords.

Here’s how we used it to verify 861 humanode validators for our Proof of Poll [and you can use it to do more than just keeping bots and scammers out of your Discord and Telegram]: https://blog.humanode.io/botbasher-usecase-humanode/

Before private biometrics, zk-proofs, and wallet sign-ins, there were Cylinder seals and juror tokens in ancient Athens, census rolls, and scar denoscriptions in Egyptian wills.

Turns out Sybil resistance isn’t new; it’s ancient and always mattered.

Here's a sneak peek into the history of stopping people from pretending to be more than one person: https://blog.humanode.io/history-of-sybil-resistance-in-governance-and-economy/
