Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.72
3rd April – 17th April

TL;DR
Hello, human nodes! This report provides an overview of the main news, development updates, and recent events within the Humanode ecosystem. Let’s start!

First, several updates and enhancements have been made in various aspects of Humanode's development. The team has utilized ZombieNet, a robust framework tailored for Substrate-based blockchains, for end-to-end network testing that enables testing changes, particularly when launching multiple nodes, by effortlessly spawning and testing ephemeral networks. Further insights are available on the Humanode GitHub.

Furthermore, the team has completed a proof of concept (POC) for experimental research on Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM) attestation. A Rust utility for attestation has been developed, along with a web transport server and client, ensuring the security of the transport session. In addition to CVM attestation, research efforts are directed towards enabling web support. The goal is to create a client library facilitating connection to CVM via the web, enhancing flexibility and accessibility for developers.
Enhancements in BotBasher include developing a system to refresh tokens for users in the next generation. Additionally, features such as displaying Discord usernames after facial scanning and introducing a ticket system for improved communication between the team and the community are being implemented. Also, the translation of the mainnet website into different languages has commenced, with translators engaged to assist with this initiative.

As for business development, Humanode has established a partnership with Hackless, a platform enhancing the security of DeFi protocols. Hackless has integrated Humanode’s BotBasher into its Discord to prevent Sybil attacks and bots. The partnership includes community a campaign on AlphaGuilty, offering rewards. Banksters, the first P2E trading game blending finance education with immersive gameplay, is now utilizing BotBasher for Sybil resistance in their airdrop campaigns, offering NFTs with in-game utility to unique participants. Qappi, a gamified platform for onboarding & engaging web3 users, now uses BotBasher for Sybil-resistant quests, ensuring authentic and secure user participation for web3 projects.

A new article explains how Humanode Biomapper ensures data privacy and security in the fight for Sybil-resistance and user security in Web3 services and DApps.

The first Humanode-inspired novel, "2067 - The Equilibrium," has been introduced, offering a glimpse into a dystopian future and the importance of preventing it. Read it here.
