Hey hey, human nodes and friends! 👋

We are thrilled to announce that

🔥Public Sale for Wave 1 is live now! 🔥

From our beta versions to all the community events, we know a lot of you have been waiting for this moment. Now is your time to grab this opportunity.

Wave 1 will last from Friday, October 7th (14:00 UTC) until Monday, October 10th (14:00 UTC). The sale is first come, first served, so we'd better get there early. :)

To join the public sale head over to Tokensoft: https://app.tokensoft.io

You can check out this guide to make sure everything goes smoothly: https://gitbook.humanode.io/humanode-public-sale-details/public-sale-guide/welcome-to-the-guide

Important:
1. Only the addresses whitelisted in Wave 1 can join this sale.
2. Multiple transactions with different options are OK as long as you don’t exceed the max purchase.
3. There are 3 options you can choose from. You can buy all 3 options as well.

Due to a technical mistake the purchase of Wave 1 will be restricted to USDT and ETH only.

BUT the sale was now set to go until 11 oct at 1400 UTC so that everyone who encountered the problem can reposition themselves. Sorry for the inconvenience and good luck!

There have been a few cases when human nodes got into whitelist, based out of a non-restricted territory, and still got a message as if they are not eligible to participate in Wave 1. The reason is - you’ve got multiple accounts on Tokensoft, and Tokensoft allows the use only of the primary account. We’re working with their team now to solve the issue, stay tuned!

Dear human nodes, if you were whitelisted for Humanode Wave 1 and you're from non-restricted country but could not participate - check the Tokensoft page again. Tokensoft is following the thesis of one person - one account, hence you got an error before. Now you will be able to participate with your whitelisted wallet even if it's not your primary one. But you'll be able to use only one address!

Dear Human nodes and friends,

Wave II will commence on October 12th, 2022 at 14:00 UTC

Dear friends and human nodes,

As we have been concentrated on the public side of things for quite a while we have not covered the technological developments that are soon to follow. Want to shed some light on what awaits Humanode in the upcoming months.

Humanode Mainnet

The Humanode mainnet will go live on November 15th. Don’t want to go into obvious emotional details of how we all have been waiting for this moment, but we really have. Got some early on facts about how it is going to deploy and what to expect as a future first generation human node.

Overall deployment

• Humanode’s sybil defense is crypto-biometric based, meaning that there is no PoW or PoS. No changes have been made for the mainnet so we are going to be the first network ever to deploy a consensus safeguarded purely by Proof-of-Uniqueness and Proof-of-Existence of human beings. Just a reminder.

• By design all human nodes will be equal in terms of the validation power.

• At the beginning there is going to be no DAO, cause it’s something that we are aiming to build, but Proof-of-Time will already be in place calculating uptime and longevity of nodes validating transactions. If you don’t really get what I am writing about here check out this article on Vortex to know where we are going.

• The claim list will be uploaded into the genesis so that all participants of the waves could claim their respective tokens. It is going to be done the very same way as you’ve been doing it on testnet 4. More thorough guides would be provided later.

• Besides the mainnet we are also going to launch a canary network, a testnet for mainnet and a testnet for the canary network to give tools to build some really creative stuff.

• As on Ramiel and Gaghiel consensus mechanism that is utilized is Grandpa + Babe with the hard consistency threshold at 66% + 1, or more specifically a BFT formula of n = 5f + 1, where n - all human nodes and f - malicious nodes.

Validator onboarding

• At the beginning the amount of validators is going to be capped at 1000. Just cause we are cautious.

• If you’ve paid close attention to the HMND token distribution you might have noticed 2% reserved for mainnet validators. This is a special fund that will bootstrap the functioning of the first 100 human node validators that are going to join. Regardless of the saturation of the network it will cover the cost of running the nodes for several years to come.

• There will be no pre-onboarding period. The mainnet will be deployed at a particular time and the human nodes will be able to onboard themselves like they did to any other testnet.

• Note that there is going to be a lag between mainnet deployment and HMND hitting the exchanges so only those who acquired it beforehand would be able to deploy nodes as you need a small fee to bioauthorize your human nodes.

HMND listing

Due to legal boundaries of this very “free” and “decentralized” field we are all engaged in we are not yet allowed to publicly disclose the exchanges, but I would like for you to know that the integration has already begun and we are expecting to hit them ETA the end of november - beginning of december.

Hope I’ve been able to enlighten you a bit about the path that we’re taking. Although there have been testnets running for almost a year now and many improvements were made and bugs ironed out. Expect stuff to clunk, crash, bug out and burn. But regardless of how tough it is and how many obstacles we face, together with you we will overcome them all and bring proper distribution of power to web3 as it was intended from the beginning.

👋 Hello Humanodes and friends !

🔥Introducing: Humanode Torch🔥

For the next few weeks, we will be passing the torch around, and inviting you to share your thoughts about Humanode.

We may randomly ask the community a question, such as the current questions “Why Humanode?” and “What do you like about Humanode?”.

We will select an answer or two per day to be shared with the community, so we hope you will all participate!
We may randomly pass the torch to somebody in the community too, so if the torch is passed to you, grab the opportunity to speak out and inspire the global Humanode community!

👋🏼 Howdy human nodes and friendly communities,

Wave II is officially over!

With that in mind, we are only hours away from Wave III which will be open to everyone. So if you haven’t been able to participate in Wave II for some reason - don’t worry you have got another chance ;)

Join here: https://link.humanode.io/public-sale-whitelist/wave-3

Those who participated in Wave II can sit back and relax. We’ll announce the procedure for token claims closer to the Mainnet launch.

Thanks and have a good rest of the week!

Humanode Wave III public offering commences October 18th, 2022 with subsequent mainnet deployment.

Wave I and Wave II for validators and community members have been finalized. On October 18th, 2022 at 14:00 UTC Humanode will open its doors to the public and be available for participation through Tokensoft.

Wave III will be open until November 8th, 14:00 UTC.

With mainnet deployment set for November 15th, 2022, Humanode is going to be the first network to deploy a crypto-biometric-based Sybil resistance instead of PoS and PoW bringing the proper distribution of validation power to web3. 1 human = 1 node = 1 vote and all nodes are equal.

Note that only those who get a spot on the whitelist and go through the KYC on Tokensoft will be able to participate in this wave.
