Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.36

2nd October — 16th November

Mainnet launched, The biometric verification update rolled out, Presale waves ended, The Occam DAO integration, Humanode co-founder Victor discussed decentralized governance at DAOist Bogota, Humanode 101 article in Cointelegraph, ‘Biometric Evolution’ is the Humanode’s theme for the coming weeks, The Humanode poetry contest has started, and more!

TL;DR
Hello to the amazing Humanode community! The last two weeks were part of a wild ride full of hard work — so let’s point out some of the key updates.
Most importantly, we are happy to announce that the Humanode mainnet is finally live! Beginning as a dream in 2017, put into action in 2020, and after 4 public testnets with over 10,000 unique participants starting in 2021, Humanode has launched the highly-anticipated crypto-biometric blockchain network where one human = one node = one vote that brings Sybil resistance and innovative governance models to the crypto industry using biometric technology. Congrats to the team!
Last week, the team announced the closure of Wave 3 for Humanode. 512 validators and community members participated in the sale, raising ~ 570,000 USD. This amount is significantly lower than the team hoped to raise, however, combined with the funds raised in the private institutional round, it will be enough for the core team to march forward through the bear market, launch the mainnet, implement the road map in full, and solidify Humanode vision.
Important news for all the validators on Humanode Testnet 4 has been announced. The team rolled out the update for biometric verification. This means that all human nodes will have to re-enroll and re-authenticate to continue being validators. You can start enrolling and authenticating now!
Also, the team has decided to shut down Testnet 3, which was launched to test the BABE block production engine, GRANDPA for block finalization mechanism, and EVM compatibility. Ramiel will now be considered deprecated, as the team will shut down all the test validator nodes and the provided infrastructure.
The exciting news is, the Occam DAO announced that it will be integrating Humanode following a stake-based voting round by the Occam DAO community. Read all the integration in the article below.
Humanode co-founder Victor exposed a bitter truth of decentralized governance in crypto at Daoist Bogota. He talked about why we need to work harder on decentralizing capital to create a truly decentralized future for DAOs and DeFi. Check out the recording, a must-see!
Other than that, the Cointelegraph article explaining the human-powered blockchain Humanode has been published covering all Humanode basics.
Moreover, the Humanode team invited everyone to join the Humanode Poetry Contest under the theme: “Biometric Evolution”. They are looking forward to seeing any type of form of poetry including haiku, sonnet, ballad, limerick, narrative poetry, ode, free verse, etc. 5 winners will earn rewards from a 1,000 USD prize pool. Check out the submission guidelines below!
Here are all the major updates. Be sure to claim tokens as you need some to deploy the human node! See you on-chain!

Hey, human nodes!

We are aware that some users are facing issues in claiming airdrop tokens.

So far, we found out that some users haven’t mapped their addresses while others were facing issues with the mapper, and they contacted the team to resolve it. We are working on solving this issue, and rest assured that anyone who participated in the testnet before Aug 16th and mapped addresses can claim the tokens.

So if you are unable to claim the token, please fill in this Google Form with all the details: https://forms.gle/MD93TnTWiECXq1hm8

Humanode Core

Today, we don’t even think twice before using FaceID to unlock our phones or fingerprint to authorize apps.

But Do you know that biometrics technology is older than we thought? While the first accounts of biometric technology can be found in Babylon 500 BC, the proper biometric systems were developed in the late 19th century.

And since then, it has undergone many changes and advancements. Here's a deep dive into the evolution of biometrics over time: https://blog.humanode.io/evolution-of-biometrics/

Biweekly update on Humanode vol.37

6th November — 30th November

Mainnet is here, Batch Transactions now enabled, The Interchain Alliance has been forged, Humanode integrated into Math Wallet, Cointelegraph’s AMA with Humanode and Occam DAO, The Humanode poetry contest winners soon, and more!

TL;DR
Hello to the fantastic Humanode community! A lot has happened since the last report, so please spend a few moments for our quick recap.
After 4 public testnets with over 10,000 unique participants starting in 2021, Humanode has launched the highly-anticipated crypto-biometric blockchain network where one human = one node = one vote that brings Sybil resistance and innovative governance models to the crypto industry using biometric technology. Two weeks after launch, Humanode mainnet has just hit ≈300 validators (278 at the time of writing).
The team noticed that some users are facing issues in claiming airdrop tokens. So far, they found out that some users haven’t mapped their addresses while others were facing issues with the mapper, and they contacted the team to resolve it. Currently, the team is working on solving this issue, and rest assured that anyone who participated in the testnet before August 16th and mapped addresses can claim the tokens. So if you are unable to claim the token, please find the form in this report and fill it in with all the details.
The good news is, MathWallet has integrated the Humanode chain and tokens, meaning the MathWallet mobile app will now support the HMND token for ease of use on your mobile phone! Math Wallet is a multi-platform universal crypto wallet that enables the storage of 50+ blockchains and 3000+ tokens and has 60,000+ users. This partnership gives Humanode users and HMND holders a more comfortable experience of holding, sending, and receiving their tokens via mobile apps.
Also, the Interchain Alliance has been formed by Humanode and a group of pioneering blockchain devshops, research teams, DAOs and individuals as a lens to focus the knowledge and experience towards building infrastructure enabling seamless interchain movement of capital, liquidity and communities to their most efficient applications. Read more about the Alliance below.
On top of that, Humanode co-founder Victor attended an AMA with Cristina Stavila from Occam.fi on why Occam is integrating the Humanode chain. The AMA session was hosted by Cointelegraph. Check out the recording on their Youtube channel. A must-see!
The Humanode Poetry Contest under the theme: “Biometric Evolution” has just ended. Thank you for the submissions. Winners will be announced soon!

Hola friends!

As most of us know, privacy has become somewhat of a commodity these days. What you buy, where you shop, how often you order pizza, and what area you live in, is basic data that is bought and sold amongst businesses, daily. Have you ever wondered what would happen if biometric identification solutions become mainstream without proper checks and balances?
