TL;DR
Hello to all human nodes! Following our lovely tradition, we are here to provide you with a recap of Humanode’s news and updates for the past two weeks!
First and foremost, the Humanode team announced the date of the mainnet! It is set for November 15th, 2022. With the launch, Humanode is going to be the first network to deploy a crypto-biometric-based Sybil resistance instead of PoS and PoW bringing the proper distribution of validation power to web3. 1 human = 1 node = 1 vote and all nodes are equal. By design, all human nodes will be equal in terms of validation power. In the beginning, the amount of validators is going to be capped at 1000. If you’ve paid close attention to the HMND token distribution you might have noticed that 2% is reserved for mainnet validators. This is a special fund that will bootstrap the functioning of the first 100 human node validators that are going to join. Regardless of the saturation of the network, it will cover the cost of running the nodes for several years to come. There will be no pre-onboarding period. The mainnet will be deployed at a particular time and the human nodes will be able to onboard themselves as they did to any other testnet. Besides the mainnet, the team is also going to launch a canary network, a testnet for the mainnet, and a testnet for the canary network to give tools to build some really creative stuff.
The great news is, the Humanode public sale Wave III is now up and running. It will be open until November 8th, 14:00 UTC, or until all tokens are sold out. All of you who have successfully completed the KYC on Tokensoft are able to participate in the event. So don’t hesitate and join!
During these weeks, Humanode teams worked tirelessly making significant progress with current tasks. The progress was minutely shared in their regular development update. The new Humanode Launcher version shipped, it includes corrected node keys detection logic for the dashboard. Check for updates in the launcher to get this version.
As for the network development, the team backported the telemetry fix to TestNet4, enabled Telemetry at grandpa, and assigned fixed pallet IDs. Considering the Humanode Web App, they added auto-generation typings, updated dependencies, and tagged state integration. Moreover, the Humanode team has been working on the Humanode Web Socket Tunnel. They fixed the connection handling at the client and CI permissions, updated dependencies, added metrics to the server, and improved tunnel route parsing.
Moreover, the team introduced Humanode Torch. For the next few weeks, they will be passing the torch around and inviting you to share your thoughts about Humanode. The team may randomly ask the community a question, such as the recent questions “Why Humanode?” and “What do you like about Humanode?”. The team will select an answer or two per day to be shared with the community. They may randomly pass the torch to somebody in the community too, so if the torch is passed to you, grab the opportunity to speak out and inspire the global Humanode community!
That’s all for today. Join Wave III and stay tuned! More exciting news to come!
