Humanode Biomapper C2 is now integrated on Rubyscore.

When you biomap, bridge to Soneium, and verify on Rubyscore, your EVM address is marked as unique and human-verified, and you earn reputation points that increase your Rubyscore in the Soneium ecosystem.

For those who don’t know: Rubyscore is an on-chain identity & reputation platform. Users mint a Rubyscore ID and build reputation with points and badges that reflect wallet activity. Projects use its Proof-of-Human (PoH) ID and analytics to find real users and design reward/privilege systems.

How it works: Biomap → Bridge to Soneium → Verify on Rubyscore.

No PII, no KYC required, just prove you are a real and unique human with a private and secure face scan.

Cherry on top: As part of the ongoing Biomapper C2 release campaign, biomapping is free for the first 10,000 wallets who biomap and bridge to Soneium. Humanode refunds your biomap fee, Humanode network fee, and bridge/verify gas.

So this is your chance to get biomapped for free and use it to verify & earn reputation score on Rubyscore.

One EVM address per person.

You’ll have a uniqueness-verified wallet address you can use on any XRPL EVM dApp that requires a uniqueness check.

1 wallet address per person.

The Campaign is live, and the refund will be airdropped on September 30th.

The internet was built on a simple promise: one person equals one account. One voice, one vote, one reward.

But what happens when that promise breaks? When one person shows up wearing a hundred masks and ruins the experience? That’s a Sybil attack.

The fix? Sybil resistance.

We put together a guide that walks through what Sybil attacks are, how they wreck apps and businesses, and why Sybil resistance matters for the future of the internet.

It’s Humanode Fireside time again

This Friday, September 26th, we’ll be around for a casual catch-up with the Humanode founders, Dato, and Victor, just to hang out. No set themes. It could be a discussion around recent Humanode updates, or maybe we have guests coming over.

Set your reminder.

A business runs on trust in numbers.
Every click, every review, every sign-up is a promise: this is real.

But bots and duplicate accounts break that promise. They drain ad budgets, hijack rewards, and poison metrics. What looks like growth on paper is often just shadows.

At Humanode, we’ve built BotBasher, Biomapper, and OAuth2 to fight that shadow economy. And with Humanode 1.0, we’ll be bringing it all together with SRGate: a universal verification path to make sure behind every account there’s a unique human, not a noscript.

Because when businesses can measure real customers, trust in the digital economy can finally grow again.

At HumanodeCon IV in Romania, the panel debated: “How far are we from a Planetary DAO?” 🌍

The contra team argued:
👉 If there’s only one planetary DAO, a single failure could wipe everyone out.
👉 With many DAOs, each thriving in its own ecosystem, it would take multiple failures before humanity as a whole is affected.

So… what do you think?
Do you believe a planetary DAO is possible? 🤔
