Maybe it’s time to stop guessing how many real people are using your product and actually know. Biomapper lets every account prove there’s a living human behind it, without giving away identity, raw biometrics, or personal data. One scan, one human, one account.

It might be disruptive. It might shrink the “million users!!” into a few thousand. But it also gives you truth and with truth comes the ability to build something real.

Just dropped a fun speculative piece told from the perspective of a human voter in 2035. It explores what happens when AI joins governance and why we eventually had to return to one human = one vote.

Just a heads up for everyone staking in the WeHMND/USDC pool.

The current LP contract closes today, December 1st, 2025 at block 15705390. And right as that block hits, the new LP pool opens on the new contract:
0xA8A83f29B7c44626D08542bEcfA882980c9F87F0

Same daily rewards of 14,400 WeHMND, same nonlinear model, and it carries on for another 6 months.

If you’re already in the old pool, the only thing you’ll need to do is move your LP tokens from the old contract to the new one. Rewards will simply continue. But you won't be able to earn rewards for the current pool, which will end today. However, you’ll still be able to claim anything you earned up to the end of the pool.

And just so everyone knows: we plan to keep LP staking going from here for all three pools WeHMND/USDC, WeHMND/WETH, WeHMND/WBTC.

If you’re new or coming back after a while, here’s what Humanode LP staking is:

About the proto-Vortex voting session 2 that just ended:

One proposal passed! Hooray, and congrats to gwumex, who proposed a project for a Non‑Custodial Inheritance Watcher.

There were many intriguing proposals this round, and there was much to learn from throughout the process.

Since we had the first voting this time, we decided to have only 3 people vote - Humanode founders, to learn from mistakes, and a far from ideal process, faster. The next voting session will be more organized and with clear guidelines for both proposers and voters.

As a result, we are taking one week to polish the new guidelines, but you can still submit your drafts anytime, and we will help you polish them!

Once we are confident about the process, we will invite the whole Humanode Core and those community members who got their proposal accepted to vote.

Fireside this Thursday 🔥

This week, we’re sitting down with Graham, co-founder of TLDR Global, early builder at Republic, and the self-proclaimed Blood Mage at MetaCartel Ventures.

These days he’s behind CryptOMG, and if you’ve followed him on X, you know the takes are sharp and the memes are strong.

We’ll be talking about something that keeps coming up:
Institutional adoption: is it actually good for crypto?
Are we going mainstream… or just getting slowly absorbed into the TradFi machine?

Expect spicy takes, sideways insights, and zero corporate vibes.

Joining him will be co-founders, Dato and Victor from Humanode.

🗓️ Thursday, Dec 4
🕙 6 PM UTC
📍 Streaming live on Humanode socials: X | Youtube | Telegram | Discord

Set your reminder!

Humanode x Shardeum

Shardeum recently ran an EVM Testnet quest, bringing in over 11,600 users and generating more than 105,000 transactions. What stands out is that when it came time to distribute the 60 million SHM to the winners, Shardeum took the extra step of having users go through anti-Sybil verification using the Humanode Biomapper.

This ensures that the SHM ends up in the wallets of unique, living users instead of bots or Sybil accounts. With so many people in India moving toward onchain activity, Shardeum is choosing to build their ecosystem in a way that is fair, secure, and human-first.

For Humanode, this means more people going through biomapping, which also means more real usage of HMND since each biomapping is a purchase of HMND that powers the system. It stays private, secure, and helps keep the token economy clean of bots and fake accounts.

Don’t wait too long. The entries keep getting better. ;)

Crypto industry spent a decade fighting TradFi.
Then we invited it in, called it “institutional adoption,” and handed it the steering wheel. Nobody asks what it did to the foundations of crypto.

If the old gatekeepers now own the rails, then what exactly is decentralized?

This piece takes a calm look at how the revolution got absorbed, and what comes next.

REMINDER for LP Stakers in the WeHMND/USDC pool.

The old LP contract closed on December 1st, and the new contract has already been running since that same block. If you haven’t moved your LP tokens yet, your rewards have stopped on the old contract.

To keep earning, you’ll need to restake in the new pool:
https://mainnet.biostaker.hmnd.app/biostaker/0xA8A83f29B7c44626D08542bEcfA882980c9F87F0

Nothing else changes. Same daily 14,400 WeHMND. Same nonlinear model. Just a new contract continuing for the next 6 months.

If you haven’t switched over, now is a good time.

How to move your stake:
1. Unstake your LP tokens from the old contract.
2. Go to the new contract and stake the same LP tokens.
