TL;DR
Greetings, community! It’s time for our detailed recap of all things Humanode! The last two weeks were part of a wild ride full of hard work and worthy contributions — so let’s have a short overview of the thrilling news that has appeared lately.
A lot has been happening since the Humanode team announced the public sale details. These weeks they have shared some important updates. Due to the number of submissions the team has decided to close the registration to Wave 1 a bit earlier — both for validators and researchers. Wave 2 for Friends and the Broader community is now available for claiming. DAO participants from LobsterDAO, Aragon, Proof of Humanity, Bankless, and Gitcoin can now claim their respective places in the second wave by submitting the proper required info.
The good news is, that the long-awaited WL checker is here! Not only you are now able to check whether your ETH address has been properly mapped and whitelisted, but also you can get more details about your substrate addresses.
Keep in mind, that the KYC processing of the participants for the Public sale has been initiated Tokensoft is now going through the ETH addresses submitted to all waves.
As usual, during these weeks, the Humanode team was working tirelessly to make significant progress with current tasks. The progress was minutely shared in their regular development update. These weeks they built and integrated the Humanode WebSocket tunnel. This resolves the authorization issues some participants were facing due to the ngrok update. Make sure you have the latest updated version of the Humanode launcher (3.2.1).
As for the network development, the team allowed writing content at building CI to add release artifacts to the release, applied restricted permissions to all CI jobs and uncles consensus inherent, corrected the version and build an information display, improved EIP712 implementations, tested and benchmarked token claims and vesting, and integrated token claims and vesting into the runtime.
Considering the Bio-Auth, they trained the facial recognition model using several different loss functions and compared the accuracy, and implemented and tested optical flow visualization-based liveness detection. Currently, the Bio-Auth team is working on improving optical flow visualization-based liveness detection by changing align parameters and using deep learning methods to get optical flow visualization images.
The winners of the ‘Hack the Sybil’ Hackathon have been announced. The participants were given the challenge to create a project that solve the Sybil attack problem utilizing Humanode technology. After much deliberation, hackathon judges finally chose winners who will be receiving some amazing prizes from the pool of $30,000. Congratulations to all the winners!
Lately, the idea of biometrically secured decentralized storage networks has been boggling Humanode co-founder Dato’s mind. He shared some thoughts on the matter in an article posted on the Humanode blog. A must-read!
Last week, the Special Fireside (Humanode Community AMA) took place in the Humanode Telegram voice chat. Missed it? No worries. Check out the recording to hear the latest updates, developments, and upcoming events for Humanode.
In Humanode’s latest contest, the team wanted to gather artists from the Humanode community to share their concepts about Humanode for a chance to win a $ 1,000 prize pool. Winners have just been announced. Check them out!
That’s a wrap! September is expected to be hot! 🔥
