Biweekly update on @Humanode vol.54
12th July — 26th July

TL;DR
Human nodes and friends! The past two weeks have been a remarkable journey filled with great progress and achievements. Today, we are here to unveil some exciting news and developments that will leave you amazed.

Invitations for the Humanode EVM Testnet “Israfel” have been sent. There were 500+ applications for participating in the first closed beta testing, and roughly 100 invitations were sent out for the first wave. For those of you who didn’t receive the invitation, fret not. The team expects to move to open beta in one to two weeks. Once the team concludes this round of closed testing, they will be opening the doors to invite everyone to the testnet in the very near future. For more information on the private testnet, check out this article.

Moreover, the team announced the dates for the Humanode Conference 2023. This year HumanodeCon will be held from September 1st to September 2nd, for 2 days of panel discussions, special presentations, tutorials, guest speakers, and some fun in general! The majority of the conference will be held online (venue to be announced at a later date), and the sign-up process will begin later this month.
