Hey, human nodes and friends,

Here's some exciting news for all of you. Humanode Chain just reached 1 Million blocks! The fantastic thing is that from the genesis block, the Humanode Network with a unique security mechanism and equal validators remained up and running for the whole time without any interruptions. We are working on many exciting projects this year that will help Humanode scale even further.

Hey there, human nodes and friends!

As you all know, the goal for Humanode is to become a governance-led protocol and fully decentralize the network’s decision-making by 2026. However, you might wonder what is being done to properly secure the network until we implement the Proposal pool - Vortex - Formation trio.

So in order to make things much more transparent for the community, we have crafted an article describing How pre-onchain DAO will work and highlighting several critical security measures that were put in place so that the Humanode network, during its early days, is adequately secured until it matures into an established network.

Give it a read to get more technical details about the implementation that we have today.

Humanode Core

Hey hey, human nodes and friends!

Seeing a lot of questions and speculations on who has made it to the list of top validators, how many sessions (epochs) they were part of, and how much reward they got, we have created a link where everyone can see the latest data and information regarding the performance of human nodes. We believe it will help answer all your questions and ensure transparency, which is our first and foremost goal.
