TL;DR
Human nodes and friends! Over the past two weeks, the team has been working tirelessly, and a lot of exciting news appeared, so let’s dive in and explore what’s been happening in the world of Humanode!

Humanode has partnered with SubQuery. With SubQuery’s decentralized data indexing infrastructure, developers can easily access on-chain data for the apps they want to build on Humanode. With this partnership, Humanode will benefit from SubQuery’s wide range of features, including the open-source SDK, simple startup guides, detailed developer documentation, committed developer help, and other benefits that developers appreciate in the SubQuery ecosystem.

The great news is, the Beta Version of the Humanode Explorer has been released. It is based on the ParaScan open-source repository and uses SubQuery to pull the data from the Humanode blockchain. As it is still an early beta version, its main functionality is limited to showing blocks, and transfers from and to your humanode address. Fully functional versions with all the bells and whistles that you will ever need on an explorer (and with pretty graphics and all) are scheduled for release in the very near future.

Last week, the team announced that the Humanode blockchain network has officially reached 2 million blocks. This a massive milestone for the Humanode community and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the developers, validators, and supporters.

Moreover, the team has revamped the fee structure for improved transparency & fairness. Dive in to learn about the changes & how they benefit the human nodes and users alike in the blog post.

The first batch of 1 person = 1 vote community polls took place in the Humanode Discord. The poll titled ‘Should we increase the number of validators getting the reward?’ ended with 55/45 results in favor of increasing the number of human nodes getting the rewards. The latest community poll ‘Do we want to introduce the mechanism of Humanode validator reward slashing?’ ended with 81/19 results in favor of canceling the reward distribution to those who missed too many epochs.

Lately, MEV exploits on Ethereum have become a hot topic, with everyone discussing and searching for ways to address the issue. Dive into a freshly-published captivating quick editorial on how MEV is turned into a public good in Sybil-resistant blockchains.

Moreover, Bitmart hosted two AMA (Ask-Me-Anything) sessions with the co-founders of Humanode. They answered community questions in Twitter Spaces. In case you missed it, check out the recordings!

Humanode in Simple Terms video series returns with a bang. Tune in to the newest episode where Shannon Higgins, Humanode Media Lead, demystifies the powerful Bot Basher Technology in layman’s terms.

Keep in mind that HMND, the native token of Humanode, is now available for trading on KuCoin and Bitmart. The availability of HMND on these exchanges will provide greater liquidity and accessibility to HMND tokens, enabling more people to participate in the Humanode mission to promote a 1 human = 1 node = 1 vote ethos.

That’s all for today. Together, let’s build a better world for all!
