TL;DR
Dear community members, it’s time for our biweekly report on Humanode! The last two weeks were full of hard work — so let’s point out some key updates.
First and foremost, Humanode Chain has just crossed an exciting milestone of 1 million blocks. The great thing is that from the genesis block, the Humanode Network with a unique security mechanism and equal validators remained up and running for the whole time without any interruptions. The mainnet hit more than 360 validators and the numbers keep increasing. With the mainnet, Humanode became the first crypto-biometric blockchain network where one human = one node = one vote that brings Sybil resistance and innovative governance models to the crypto industry using biometric technology. And it is always a pleasure or us to see the network grows!
During these weeks, Humanode teams were working tirelessly making significant progress with current tasks. The Humanode’s development progress was minutely shared in the regular update. As for the network development, they implemented CI fixes, bumped substrate fork to locked/polkadot-v0.9.36 and Rust to Version 1.66.1, added Workspace to more CI jobs, Machine, Extrinsic, and Overhead commands for benchmarking. While working on the Humanode Web App, the team updated confirmation pages (Enhanced UI and text). As for Oauth2 Server, they rewrote it into multi-crate for dependency isolation, and enhanced parsing by switching to envfury. Also, the team updated dependencies for the Websocket tunnel, moved the contract address into the query for Payments-svc, and switched to Proper get request with a query string for Payments-svc.
And last but not least, the Humanode website has got a new design. Give it a look!
That’s all for today. All the love, all the power!
