Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.66
10th January — 24th January

TL;DR
Greetings and welcome to the biweekly report on Humanode. This update provides insights into the recent progress made by the Humanode project as it continues to work towards its mission of fostering a future marked by decentralization and fairness.

The Humanode development team has made substantial progress in Substrate updates. Version 40, currently in internal testing, and preparations for version 42 mark significant milestones. The EVM transition from London to Shanghai is underway in the release cycle. Moreover, the mainnet website has undergone improvements, introducing new metrics like the Nakamoto coefficient, active validators count, and bioverifications. The user experience has been refined with smoother scrolling, updated events, and a direct link to Humanode Biostaker.

Biomapper, utilizing cryptobiometrics, is on the horizon. The tool ensures real, unique humans behind each EVM address and is set to revolutionize airdrops, whitelisting, and user engagement. Fees generated will benefit validators. The development team is actively crafting Biomapper documentation, with the integration paths finalized. The focus now shifts to completing the technical information segment for an imminent release.

In recent weeks, the BD team at Humanode has successfully forged several partnerships. Collaborating with Viction to bring Sybil-resistance to its ecosystem, BotBasher is now integrated into Viction's Discord. A special campaign on QuestN celebrates this partnership, offering rewards on the Viction chain. Partnering with StarkFinance, a decentralized IDO platform aiming to revolutionize token sales, Humanode introduces BotBasher on StarkFinance's Discord for Sybil-resistant campaigns. Teaming up with Decibling, a web3 platform that blends music with crypto, it integrates BotBasher into Decibling's Discord for Sybil-resistant airdrops and more. Users can secure their role by completing a quick facial scan. Partnering with Nabla Finance, BotBasher has been integrated into its Discord for Sybil-resistant airdrops. The collaboration is celebrated with the Humanode Galxe campaign, offering attractive rewards.
