Humanode raises $2 million while testnet hits 1,650 unique validators

Dear human nodes,
Today, we are glad to announce that Humanode has successfully closed its $2 million seed round. Led by Republic Capital, the seed round’s supporters included Tribe Capital, the Avalanche Foundation ecosystem’s fund Blizzard, Wintermute, GravityX Capital, Shima Capital, Genblock Capital, AU21 Capital, StaFi, and Polygon co-founders Jaynti Kanani and Sandeep Nailwal.

“At the moment, crypto governance is a plutocratic nightmare fraught with whales and Sybil attacks. Humanode is laying the foundational infrastructure for robust, fully pseudonymous digital identities that will serve as a cornerstone of our increasingly immersive digital world,” said Alex Ye, managing partner of Republic Crypto.

Humanode co-founder Dato Kavazi said, “Sybil attacks are what stand between humanity and a completely new way of interaction with the world around us. It is not just a blockchain problem. Bots are a scourge of any high-level digital infrastructure and we are here to get rid of them in a private and decentralized fashion. By delivering a blockchain based on biometrically verified pseudonymous identities, we want to ensure that any systems built on top can be sure that nodes are unique, real, living and breathing human beings. Thank you, Republic and Alex Ye in particular, for having our back. Humanode welcomes everyone to join its endeavors and with rejuvenated strength, we press on forward into the untamed frontier of computer science.”

Humanode is the first crypto-biometric network where one human equals one node and brings Sybil resistance and innovative governance models to the crypto industry using biometric technology.

We are planning Humanode public sale and mainnet launch for summer 2022.

Hello fellow human nodes!

We are happy to announce the winner of the 1st Humanode Conference and Hackathon Design Contest! The winner is @vikvo11, the creator of BIONOD!

BIONOD will now be sent over to be brushed up by our designer to get ready for action in the promotion of the conference and hackathon!
Hey there Human nodes! A second question concerning the meetup. If we still organize the offline hangouts at the end of May, how many of you are going to show up!

Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.17
4th February — 18th February

Humanode raises $2 million while testnet hits 1,980+ unique validators, Active and passive liveness detection discussed, Mascot competition winner announced, and more!

TL;DR
Hello, human nodes! We are here to provide you with a recap of the projects’ news of the past two weeks! This period was quite fruitful for teams, so let’s point out some of the key updates.
It is always a pleasure to see growing numbers in testnet stats. Humanode testnet V2 ‘Shamshel’, the 1st major upgrade that greatly improves the UI/UX, has just hit 1980+ validators (1,981 at the time of writing). And this is just the beginning! Join the testnet, and immortalize your existence as one of the first human nodes in history!
In a recent development update, Humanode teams have shared what they’ve been working on over the past two weeks.
As for the network development, they increased max authorities to 20k, adjusted Maximum Authentications and Maximum Nonces, reused Maximum Authentications for Aura and Grandpa Maximum Authorities, and used 5234 as Humanode EVM ChainID.
Regarding the Web App development, the team refactored app structure and peer RPC connection machinery as well as refactored the FaceTec capture flow. As for Humanode Desktop App, they displayed connection status when connection is lost, limited the size of logs, added temporal polyfill and removed day.js, adapted manifest to new fetching structure, and improved error rendering.
Considering crypto-biometric search and matching and liveness algorithms, the team added an assert function to verify variables and keys parameters, included the generate keys function for each node, added a new class with collective authority protocols, removed unnecessary Ring-Learning with Errors (RLWE) instantiation in public key generation, and adjust parameters using the output of parameter generator.
Moreover, the Humanode team has just announced the winner of the first Humanode Mascot Design Competition. The winner is @vikvo11, the creator of BIONOD! Congrats to the artist! BIONOD will now be sent over to be brushed up by our designer to get ready for action in the promotion of the conference and hackathon.
Other than that, the Humanode Fireside talk took place in the Humanode Telegram voice chat. The team discussed active and passive liveness detection. Listen to the recording on the Humanode Podcast, and join the team on Wednesday for the next conversation!
Human nodes, that’s all for today! Have a great weekend!

🔥 HUMANODE FIRESIDE: BIOMETRIC MODALITIES AND THEIR LIMITATIONS

Dear human nodes,

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday in our Telegram voice chat! We will be discussing biometric modalities, categories of a biometric system depending upon the type of human trait it takes as input. They include fingerprint, face, iris, retina, voice, hand geometry, gait, etc.

Join the Humanode team to know more about biometric modalities and their pros and cons, and to understand what method of biometric identification the fastest and most accurate!

As usual, there will be a live talk between the team members first, and then a conversation with the community.

When?
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022, 16:00 UTC.

Where?
Humanode telegram group: https://news.1rj.ru/str/humanodes

P.S. For those who missed previous discussions, recordings are up on our Podcast and YouTube channel.

Dear Humanode community,

As the war rages in Ukraine we ought to remember that all life is precious and that we stand against any kind of violence. We express our deepest condolences to the families and individuals killed, harmed and displaced by this senseless war.

The Humanode team consists of individuals of various races, cultures and religious beliefs including Ukrainians, Russians and Belarusians. As the conflict broke our Slavic devs have demonstrated nothing but compassion, care and solidarity for each other.

We are aware that there are many Ukrainians and Russians in Humanode community. We hope that you are able to look beyond this imperialistic elitist war and lend a helping hand to one another.

As the firefights continue we ought to remember that in such times disinformation is your biggest enemy. For ordinary people there is no victory or benefit from war and everyone who participates eventually loses.

Stay safe, stay strong and stay human!
