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.

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.

Good governance doesn’t come from the loudest voices or the deepest pockets. It comes from those who actually know what they’re doing.

In Humanode Vortex, that’s the idea behind Cognitocracy and its Specialization Chambers, where proposals are shaped and decided by people with proven expertise in their fields.

It’s been 3 years since the launch of HMND, and we want to clear up how token unlocks actually work. Let’s start with the basics.

Here’s a quick overview of the main allocations:
• Angel and Seed – 2 years of block-by-block vesting, starting Nov 2023 and ending Nov 2025
• Strategic – 30 months of block-by-block vesting, starting Jun 2023 and ending Nov 2025
• Core team – 3 years of block-by-block vesting, starting Dec 2023 and ending Nov 2026
• Broader team – 3 years of block-by-block vesting, starting Dec 2024 and ending Nov 2027
• Market Maker – one-time at TGE (Nov 2022)
• Treasury Reserve – 4 annual unlocks, Nov 2024 through Nov 2027
• Ecosystem Fund – one-time in Dec 2025
• Testnet participants – one-time at TGE
• Mainnet validators – gradual stream from Jan 2023 through Nov 2026

In Humanode, most unlocks are linear. That means tokens don’t come out all at once.

They are released little by little, block by block, second by second, like drops of water from a tap instead of a bucket being dumped at once.

Here’s how it works:
Investor and team allocations (Angel, Seed, Strategic, Core, Broader) are not cliff unlocks. They stream out continuously, block by block, second by second, during their vesting windows.

There are no sudden cliffs where a million tokens appear in one day. Instead, the vesting contract releases small amounts at every block until the full allocation is reached.
Example: Angel round
• Allocation: about 5% of the total supply.
• Lockup: 1 year.
• Vesting: 24 months, beginning Nov 2023.

This means that from Nov 2023 until Nov 2025, tokens are unlocked gradually. If you see charts that show “~830,000 HMND” released monthly, that doesn’t mean they come in one lump on the first of the month.

It means that, averaged out, the vesting contract is releasing roughly that amount spread evenly second by second across the month.

The same applies to Seed, Strategic, Core, and Broader team allocations. Each has its own start date and duration, but the principle is the same: tokens flow steadily, not suddenly.

The visible jumps you see on charts come from a few non-vesting items that are modeled as steps:
– Market Maker (one-time at TGE),
– Ecosystem Fund (one-time in Dec-2025),
– Treasury Reserve (annual additions each Nov 2024–2027).

This brings us to the concern about an ~11% unlock in November 2025. The tranche people are pointing at is the November Ecosystem and Treasury Reserve addition (≈45M HMND, ~11% of supply).

These funds are managed by the Humanode Foundation and reserved for ecosystem growth.

It means that the funds will become available for ecosystem development. They do not immediately flow into the market, and there’s no plan to do so, especially at these prices. In fact, tokens from earlier treasury unlocks haven’t even been fully used yet.

Another point to clarify is that, if you can see in the graph, you can identify that a 90+% portion of the angel, seed, and strategic round tokens has already been unlocked, and the rest will finish by November 2025.

That means there isn’t some big investor dump waiting around the corner. People have either already sold or they are holding until they reach the moon, whereas now HMND is below the first funding round valuation.

So, remember that when you see websites showing “monthly unlocks,” it’s just because they don’t have the tools to display block-by-block vesting. They simplify it into monthly buckets.

The truth is that tokens unlock every second, except for treasury and ecosystem funds, not all at once at the end of the month.

We hope that this clarifies some of the confusion.

Worried about getting flagged Sybil and missing a Monad airdrop?

Biomap → Bridge to Monad.

Biomap your address and bridge to Monad so you’ve got onchain proof you’re a unique, living human if you need to appeal.

App: https://biomapper.hmnd.app

How to biomap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9K9zB-8yok

Biomapper C2 is now deployed on Monad. It's an onchain tool that ties an EVM address to a unique, living human with a quick, private face scan. No KYC, no forms, no disclosing of personal data.

If you wrongfully get flagged as Sybil, having a human proof linked to your address can help support an appeal.

(Doesn’t guarantee eligibility, just an onchain evidence you’re not a Sybil.)

For builders in the Monad ecosystem:
With Biomapper deployed on Monad, you can add uniqueness check to filter bots, Sybils and keep claims, rewards, allowlists, and votes fair.
