Hola again, Everyone!

Next up, we have Victor with us.

He'll be discussing Fath - Humanode's monetary system.

He will also be showing a demo of Humanode's real-life use case with one of our partners.

You can watch the demo live now!

Hey, ya'll Folks! 👋

That's all from the first-ever Humanode Conference, the event to meet the minds and builders behind the Humanode Project.

We have had many insightful sessions with the Humanode core team and our guests. 💡

I hope you all learned about Humanode and what our team is trying to achieve in the Blockchain space.

Thanks to those who attended the conference and congratulations to the winners! 🎉

With that being said, I am really excited to announce Humanode Hackathon that will be starting tomorrow 2nd June.

Best of luck to all the developers and hackers participating in the Hackathon! 🚀

See you all next year! 🤩

Humanode invites devs to ‘Hack the Sybil’ in June hackathon featuring $30,000 in prizes

The Hack the Sybil Hackathon is intended to help combat the use of Sybil attacks in blockchain environments. In a Sybil attack, malicious actors create multiple accounts to take control of and manipulate blockchain transactions. Humanode is trying to solve that problem with its proof of existence concept, which uses FaceTec biometrics to link each blockchain node to a single human user to thwart multi-account attacks.
The Hackathon is being set up to encourage other developers to come up with new applications of that technology. Humanode is asking competitors to submit decentralized apps (dapps) that are resistant to Sybil manipulation, and stressed that they can use any technology they want to realize those goals. The apps themselves can similarly be built for any purpose, though Humanode is dividing the competition into five primary categories.
Those five categories are the UI/UX track, the chain tool track, the DAO track, the dapps for human nodes track, and the more open-ended special track, which encapsulates apps in industries like arts and gaming. Humanode will hand out a $6,000 reward to the winner of each track, and its partners are expected to supplement that with additional prizes.

Humanode Conference 2022 - A Review

If you were among the lucky people who attended the first-ever Humanode conference, then you know what a ground-breaking event it was. The unique conference aimed to let people meet the minds and builders behind the Humanode project and brought together some of the top blockchain and cryptocurrency experts.
From insightful panel discussions to exciting keynote speeches and workshops, there was plenty to keep attendees engaged and inspired. If you couldn't make it to the Humanode conference this year, don't worry – we've got you covered!
In this blog post, we'll recap all the highlights from the conference. So sit back, relax, and get ready to learn all about the exciting Humanode Conference 2022!

https://blog.humanode.io/humanode-conference-2022-a-reveiw/

Hello, human nodes!

They say good things come to those who wait, and we have waited for everrr.
It is our sheer pleasure to announce that after a long (long) process, our testnest Ramiel is ready for public and it is BEAUTIFUL.

Ramiel will be the next major step towards the launch of the Humanode Mainnet this summer, and we will be focusing on brushing up the system, moving from permissioned Proof of Authority where nodes are supposed to trust each other, to a trustless permissionless system, and bringing EVM-compatibility to the Humanode testnet.

We will be inviting people in batches to join Humanode Testnet Ramiel as human nodes. It will support Linux, MacOS, and Windows, in combination with iOS and Android. And as we want to keep Humanode for everybody, the hardware requirements to join the testnet will not be high.

If you think you suit the role as a human node, apply now!

Hello Human Nodes,

Our dev team has worked tirelessly for the past few weeks to make Testnet3 Ramiel live keeping in mind the Humanode’s goals and your valuable feedback and suggestions. ✌️

We are excited that these developments will enhance the network and user experience for everyone who is part of Humanode one way or the other. 🚀

Here are some major updates 👇

Testnet3 Ramiel Major Updates

- Improved Authentication Experience - You can easily authenticate now since we removed the old authentication flow. No switching nodes into enrolling vs authenticate mode.

- Increased BioAuthentication Time - This major update is for those always pointing out their concern regarding authentication expiry. Your bio authentication will now expire after 7 days instead of 72 hours. ;)

- EVM and Ethereum compatibility - You can now deploy EVM smart contracts and use Ethereum smart contracts and wallets (such as Metamask); This means People can start developing dApps utilizing Humanode Sybil Resistance.

- GRANDPA Block Finality Algorithm- This will ensure that your transaction will not be evicted by a conflicting chain if it’s in the finalized block.

- BABE as Block Production Mechanism - It will eliminate the potential unfairness when we alter the authority set and even out the chances for each validator to produce a block.

- Choice Between Selecting Testnet2 and Testnet3 - You have an option to choose between Testnet2 and Testnet3 on the Humanode desktop app while creating the workspace.

Other Significant Dev Updates

1. Humanode Network

- Minor corrections to runtime configs around BABE
- Substrate bumped to 438f40d
- Offline Validators will now be unauthenticated.
- FindAuthor implementations moved to a separate mod
- EVM implementation to native account linking
- Robonode public key is now swappable.
- Cargo metadata checks at Clippy are turned off.
- Precompile-bioauth will be in runtime
- Backport CLI API versioned to testnet2

2. Humanode Web App

- Fixed Snackbar displaying [object Event]
- Fixed display error message after failed request rotate and set keys
- Defaulted to WebSocket URL
- Fixed the case of the liveness data fields at the API

3. Bio-auth

- Integrated ML package into crypto
- Integrated poetry into the project
- Implemented extracting quantized/decoherence output from each -layer in the neural network
- Implemented ONNX quantization for facial recognition and liveness detection models

4. OAuth

Testnet 3 "Ramiel" Batch 1 is out.

Hey, human nodes!
Interview with Paradigm and
Humanode co-founder, Dato Kavazi.


Listen to an overview of Humanode, and how it solves the problem of Sybil attacks, and dig into how #biometrics & #livenessdetection work in its system.

Hello, Humanode Community!

Read this latest interview with Paradigm and Humanode's Co-Founder, Victor Paradigm on HackerNoon.

Know more about his entrepreneurial journey and see how his belief in True Decentralization lead to the creation of Humanode. 👇

https://lnkd.in/dkWZQGTd

*Bonus** - He also discussed the types of projects, he is willing to fund. 😉

Our Testnet 3 'Ramiel' chain is stuck!

We were at the end of the session, and the next block was going to start a new session; that block did something that was too heavy, and the node just couldn't build it in time.

We're investigating what exactly is causing it.

Great job, human nodes, the next batch will be invited after the hot fix.

Hotfix is out!

When our chain hit 16 validators, it got stuck and could not start the next session. Why? 3 weeks ago Substrate updated the API for managing state. It had a bug that started an infinite loop. Hotfix coming to all Substrate chains soon. https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/11490/files/a5f349ba9620979c3c95b65547ffd106d9660d9d#r900488712

People who participated before the chain reset need to update the chain in the desktop app settings by doing "Check for peer Updates" and recreate the workspace.

Testnet 3 "Ramiel" Batch 2 is out!

Humanode Testnet 3 "Ramiel" Batch 3 is out!

50 validators mark crossed. The 4th batch of invitations to Testnet 3 "Ramiel" is out!

Hi Human nodes,
