TL;DR
Welcome to the latest edition of the Humanode biweekly report, where we share the project’s latest updates and progress toward creating a more decentralized and equitable future. Over the past two weeks, the team has been working tirelessly, and a lot of great news appeared, so let’s dive in!

First, the Humanode team released a new version of Discord integration — BotBasher to bring anonymous identities to Discord. BotBasher links a Discord account to a verified human identity through bioauthentication. With Humanode’s liveness check tech, each user is able to authenticate one account, proving that there is an actual human being behind that account. Enjoy Sybil-resistant channels, voting, airdrops, and NFTs with verified human identities. Privacy ensured!

The great news is, BotBasher’s user base has skyrocketed in just two weeks since its first public beta release. It now has almost 35K verified humans. Thank you, human node, for your incredible support!

Learn how BotBasher offers a Sybil-resistant solution for 1 Person 1 Vote Polls, whitelisting, and airdrop distribution.

To celebrate Humanode <> Discord integration, Magic Square is hosting a Joint Gleam with Humanode, and giving away $1250 in total to 10 lucky winners that complete all the tasks. Click here to join the fun!

Moreover, the Verified Human campaign with BitMart is still here. All you have to do is get verified with Humanode BotBasher and link the “Human Verified” role in both BitMart and Humanode’s Discord. Once verified, you will gain access to the #humanode-bitmart channel (on BitMart’s server) and be able to submit your CID to be added to the whitelist. 100 users will be selected to win the HMND prize pool. Don’t miss out! The campaign runs until May 5.

The 6th 1 person = 1 vote community poll “What should be the minimum number of epochs that a human node scores in 2 weeks to be eligible for validator rewards?” ended with 80/84 threshold as the most popular choice. It means the team will introduce a validator reward slashing mechanism: If a validator got into the top 150 but participated only in 79/84 epochs or less, she will not get the reward for the 2-week period. Now Humanode validators are incentivized to look after their human nodes more carefully! Get a Verified Human role and participate in the next vote.

Humanode new blog series, The EVM Compatibility Chronicles, explores the factors driving the need for EVM compatibility and provides insights from Humanode’s Tech Lead, MOZGIII.

Keep in mind that HMND, the native token of Humanode, is now available for trading not only on KuCoin and Bitmart, but on SimpleSwap, Lunar Crush, and BingX. 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. Stay tuned for more exciting updates. Together, let’s shape a world where technology empowers and connects us all.
