Check out the latest from the heart of Humanode’s development:

🔺 Blockchain Progress
Our dedicated development team continues to enhance Humanode's blockchain infrastructure with Substrate updates. Version 118 has been rolled out, introducing new precompiles for maintaining oracles and smart contracts that allow for zk-proof verification. Layer 2 networks can now be deployed on our chain, and we can integrate with bridges faster. For detailed insights, check out the latest on the Humanode GitHub.

🔺 Block Finalization
Last week, we tested block finalization schemes using Grafana, ensuring there are no delays in the finalization of blocks.

🔺 BotBasher x Telegram
Our team is working on integrating Telegram with BotBasher. Last week, we developed and tested various integration schemes. The following kinds of actions have been verified: getting chat participants, kicking users from chat, listening chat joining request, listening chat config changes.

🔺 LP Staking Program
The Humanode Core team has extended the current LP staking program by another 6 months, adding 2,628,000 HMND to the reward pool. A new WeHMND/USDC pool was deployed at block 7821390. Additionally, a new LP staking program for WeHMND/WETH is planned, with 913,230 HMND allocated for 6 months. Users will soon be able to bridge WETH for a lower fee from Arbitrum. Stay tuned for more details!
