Biomapper c1 deployed on Aurora.

There’s something unmistakable about the aura of a network that lets builders spin up fully customizable, EVM-compatible Virtual Chains without the headaches of setting up their own L2.

But every ecosystem’s atmosphere comes down to one thing: real people shaping what’s possible.

Now, with Biomapper C1 SDK available on Aurora’s EVM Virtual Chains, you can make sure your apps' presence isn’t just code and wallets but a space for actual, unique humans.

So, if you’re setting up on Aurora and want to add biometric-based private sybil resistance to your app, integration is as easy as installing the SDK and following the guide. All the links you need are below:

If you’re building on Aurora and want to wire in biometric-based Sybil resistance, here’s the guide for plugging in Biomapper.

Questions about data privacy come up a lot, especially around biometrics.

Welcome to the weekend, and the final installment of the final chapter, The Book of Dawn, of 2067 -the equilibrium-, the dystopian novel inspired by Humanode and written by Humanode Media lead, Shannon Higgins.

The war is over. But like anything, building and rebuilding always takes more time, effort, and money than it does to childishly tear something down.

Dawn’s hope is to build the foundation for future generations, and truth be told, is not really interested in catering to those bound to century-old traditions, national identities, or gravity, for that matter.

To read the conclusion to the Book of Dawn, grab your best cup of coffee, and click here:https://www.wattpad.com/1567188090-2067-the-equilibrium-the-book-of-dawn-part-4-4

For those of you who are just realizing that something cool was passing by, and want to catch the equilibrium train before it fully departs, click here to visit the index: https://www.wattpad.com/story/365464316-2067-the-equilibrium


NOTICE The conclusion to 2067 -the equilibrium- will be posted next week as an epilogue.

HumanodeCon IV is almost here (Sept 6, Bucharest).

Biomapper C1 deployed on XRPL EVM Sidechain

XRPL EVM Sidechain just opened the gates for EVM-compatible dApps, on a separate chain connected to the XRPL that uses XRP as its native currency, to build on fast, low-cost rails. Fresh ground, new builders, big ideas, and a perfect time to make sure it’s real people shaping what comes next.

Yes, Biomapper C1 SDK is now live on the XRPL EVM Sidechain, meaning that while enjoying fast and low-cost transactions with XRP as gas, builders can make sure their apps have genuine human participation, not artificial noise.

Integrating Biomapper takes just a few lines of code, adding a privacy-preserving layer of Sybil resistance to any XRPL EVM dApp. Every participating address is tied to a unique, living human without KYC or asking for personally identifiable information (PII). One human = one EVM address.

For builders, that means governance, rewards, and interactions stay in the hands of genuine people, not bots or duplicate accounts.

The next validator poll is live.

If you’ve linked your validator address to your bio-authenticated Discord, just head to ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠validator-polls and vote. If not, you can still do it.

Remember, voting is part of the deal under Proof-of-Polls to be eligible for full validator rewards.

As always, the poll will be open for 3 days. Jump in and cast your vote.

Most people think Vortex = the Humanode DAO.
It’s not.

It’s the philosophy of governance where one human = one vote, but power flows to those who’ve proven they know their stuff.

A blend of technocracy, meritocracy, specialization, and liquid democracy.

Here’s what really shapes Vortex: https://blog.humanode.io/the-philosophy-behind-vortex/

Welcome to the very final installment of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel, 2067 -the equilibrium-, written by Humanode Media Lead, Shannon Higgins.

It would be wise to prepare a nice cup of coffee or tea and find your favorite reading chair, as this week, we present you with the Epilogue to the whole story.

As a note from the author: I would like to thank you all for taking this journey with me over the past year and a half. What started as a little fun in trying to imagine what the world would look like in 40 or so years in the future, with the ideals Humanode was founded on flourishing on one side, and the foreseeable future of the “harvesting” of PI and biometric data by the tech giants becoming a hardwired reality on the other, became a rather large book. One book with 10 chapters. Each chapter is its own book and own story, with its own hero or heroine. Yet all are intertwined into one epic story.

The book had 407,488 words in total, and unless I had decided to stop after 10 chapters from the get go, there would have been plenty more to come. I already can dream of the future that will unfold in this world. Perhaps someday, in the future.

Please note that the current version will be taken down after one month. Once taken down, it will be re-edited and combined as a proper book for publication.

Once again, thank you for this journey.

Web3 set out to escape centralization.
Instead, most of it rebuilt the same old system: money = power.

But what if validation didn’t come from capital at all?
What if one person, one node, one vote became the base layer?

Sasha Shilina dives into the philosophy of a post-plutocratic Web3.

Look closely at your freemium funnel and you’ll see:
The same users creating multiple accounts, and bots slipping past CAPTCHA.

We think the fix is simple: one human, one sign-up.

Here’s our take on fixing it:

Stay synced. Stay human.

Humanode Biomapper is now live on Soneium!

As Soneium gets things ready for bringing creativity and expression onchain, it only makes sense to deploy the Biomapper SDK to ensure the ones creating and interacting are real, unique human beings.

For those who aren’t aware, Soneium is an Eth Layer-2 developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, which aims to evoke emotion and empower creativity.

Devs building dApps and services on Soneium can plug in Humanode’s biometric Sybil resistance to verify each user is a unique, real person, privately and securely.

It takes just a few lines of code, and users don’t have to go through intrusive, cumbersome KYC.

If you are interested in adding Biomapper, check out the SDK and guides below:
