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.

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.

Bot Basher for Discord beta test on February 9, Validator Ranking is here, Pre-onchain DAO era highlights — sudo module and multisig, Regular dev updates are out, Humanode Hangout with the team, and more!

TL;DR
Hello, and welcome to our early-February biweekly update on Humanode! The last two weeks were full of hard work, a lot of significant news in this report worth your attention!
First and foremost, the Humanode team announced the start of the “Humanode Bot Basher for Discord Beta test” which will begin tomorrow, Thursday, February 9th, 2023. With the relentless uphill battle against scams, spam, bots, and Sybil resistance being a serious issue for many Discord servers and channels, the team has decided to utilize its cryptobiometric technology to allow servers to create Sybil-resistant roles, channels, and services. The Beta test is scheduled to run for a week, and users will be able to experience everything from the sign-up to gaining access to “bot-free” channels, and Sybil-resistant voting. After the initial Beta test, all data concerning the Bot Basher will be wiped from the server before the initial launch. Once the Humanode Bot Basher for Discord is successfully launched, the Humanode Dev team intends to prepare for the release of Bot Basher for Telegram.
The Humanode mainnet is up and running. 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, the Humanode team has created a link where everyone can see the latest data and information regarding the performance of human nodes. Check out your rank!

Konnichiwa to all Human nodes!

The Humanode core team is happy to announce the public release of the Humanode Bot Basher Beta test!

After a successful integration into the Humanode Discord server on the 9th and some internal testing, we are officially opening the doors, inviting everyone to join us in the public beta of the Bot Basher.

Beta testers will be able to verify themselves as a unique living human being, and enter the Sybil-resistant channels on our Discord server. As part of our beta testing, we will shortly be announcing a brand new contest, in which the final winner will be decided by Sybil-resistant voting that will happen in the channels that will only be available to those who participate in the beta test.

Don’t worry about not being sure about the Bot Basher yet, all the data from the test will be wiped clean once the test is concluded, so everybody is welcome to participate in this beta test!
