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.

Biomapper C2 is now live on Fuse.

Fuse moves money for real businesses and real users - fast, low-cost, and global. Great for growth, and a magnet for bots. Biomapper ensures that it remains for real humans.

Builders on Fuse can add a quick, private check that there’s a living, unique person behind a wallet before payouts, rewards, sign-ups, referrals, or access. No KYC. No forms. A few lines of code. One human = one wallet.

Keep Fuse’s payment rails smooth and affordable while your metrics, incentives, and communities stay sybil-resistant.

Aurora is designed for speed and low fees. Now, adding Sybil resistance to your wallet on Aurora just got even easier with Biomapper C2.

The first 3,000 biomaps + bridges on Aurora are free.
(Humanode refunds biomap, network, and bridge fees in HMND/eHMND.)

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

With Biomapper, one wallet = one real person. That means you can step into Aurora dApps with Sybil resistance built in airdrops, governance, whitelists, mints, and more.

For projects on Aurora, this campaign lowers the barrier for users to get verified, giving builders a growing pool of Sybil-resistant wallets to tap into.
