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? 🤔

Get onchain uniqueness verification for free on Avalanche

Avalanche was the very first chain where Humanode Biomapper went live. Now with the launch of Biomapper C2, we’re giving it a big boost.

The first 10,000 biomaps + bridges on Avalanche are free.

(Humanode refunds biomap, network, and bridge fees in HMND/eHMND.)

Here’s how it works:
Biomap → Bridge to Avalanche → Your wallet is marked as unique human-verified.

That means one wallet = one real person, ready for Avalanche dApps that need Sybil resistance.

For builders on Avalanche: this free campaign means free user onboarding and an instant pool of verified wallets to plug into your dApp. Use it for airdrops, governance, mints, or any use case that requires poof of personhood.

Refunds for free slots will be airdropped on Sept 30th.
