Biweekly update on Humanode vol.38

30th November — 14th December

Mainnet hit 300+ validators, First mainnet rewards have been distributed, Humanode and Occam launch incubation initiative, Humanode chain in Subquery, Humanode won 2 awards at Hackernoon’s Noonies 2022, An article on dystopian biometrics, A deep dive into the evolution of biometrics, The Humanode poetry contest winners soon, and more!

TL;DR
Hello, human nodes! Following our lovely tradition, we are here to provide you with a recap of the project’s news and updates of the past two weeks! This period was pretty fruitful for the teams and the community, so let’s point out some of the key updates.
The Humanode mainnet is up and running. It’s been nearly a month since the team launched the highly-anticipated 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. These weeks, the mainnet has hit more than 300 validators (307 at the time of writing) and the numbers keep increasing! On top of that, the first mainnet rewards have been distributed. Check out your balances!
The great news is, Humanode <-> Occam Incubation Initiative has been set up to help developers willing to develop on the Humanode chain become well-organized, prepared for VC interviews, complete successful funding rounds, and ultimately achieve an auspicious launch on the Humanode network. Check out the announcement blog post for more details!
Furthermore, Humanode has won 2 awards at HackerNoon’s Noonies2022! The project won the award for Blockchain Advancement of the Year for being the technology that will assist in pushing blockchain technology into a new stratosphere and won against Polkadot, Solana, Cosmos, Algorand, and Cardano in the battle for Breakout Blockchain of 2022 for being the Blockchain that is most likely to unseat Ethereum. Congratulations to the Humanode community and the team that aims to revolutionize Web3!
Human nodes, have you ever wondered what would happen if biometric identification solutions become mainstream without proper checks and balances? Read the freshly-published Humanide deep-dive through the rabbit hole of dystopian biometrics.
Moreover, in the latest blog post, the Humanode team looks at the evolution of biometrics technology and how it has progressed over time. They also discuss where this technology is headed and what new capabilities we can expect. Check it out!
Last weekend, the community’s gaming day took place. As for the first game, this time the team and human nodes played League of Legends. It was a lot of fun! Join the team next time!
And last but not least, the Humanode Poetry Contest under the theme “Biometric Evolution” has ended. Thanks to everyone who participated. Winners will be announced soon!
That’s all for today. Stay in the loop!

What is the potential of biometrics for blockchain-based metaverse? And what is Humanode's role in it?

In the last decade, biometrics has made incredible breakthroughs in accuracy and privacy. Alongside decentralized blockchain technology, it has the potential to make metaverse identity management secure, private, simplified and seamless, transforming the industry landscape and accelerating the metaverse spread and crypto adoption.

Let's go!

Hola friends!

As most of us know, privacy has become somewhat of a commodity these days. What you buy, where you shop, how often you order pizza, and what area you live in, is basic data that is bought and sold amongst businesses, daily. Have you ever wondered what would happen if biometric identification solutions become mainstream without proper checks and balances?

Biweekly update on Humanode vol.37

6th November — 30th November

Mainnet is here, Batch Transactions now enabled, The Interchain Alliance has been forged, Humanode integrated into Math Wallet, Cointelegraph’s AMA with Humanode and Occam DAO, The Humanode poetry contest winners soon, and more!

TL;DR
Hello to the fantastic Humanode community! A lot has happened since the last report, so please spend a few moments for our quick recap.
After 4 public testnets with over 10,000 unique participants starting in 2021, Humanode has launched the highly-anticipated 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. Two weeks after launch, Humanode mainnet has just hit ≈300 validators (278 at the time of writing).
The team noticed that some users are facing issues in claiming airdrop tokens. So far, they found out that some users haven’t mapped their addresses while others were facing issues with the mapper, and they contacted the team to resolve it. Currently, the team is working on solving this issue, and rest assured that anyone who participated in the testnet before August 16th and mapped addresses can claim the tokens. So if you are unable to claim the token, please find the form in this report and fill it in with all the details.
The good news is, MathWallet has integrated the Humanode chain and tokens, meaning the MathWallet mobile app will now support the HMND token for ease of use on your mobile phone! Math Wallet is a multi-platform universal crypto wallet that enables the storage of 50+ blockchains and 3000+ tokens and has 60,000+ users. This partnership gives Humanode users and HMND holders a more comfortable experience of holding, sending, and receiving their tokens via mobile apps.
Also, the Interchain Alliance has been formed by Humanode and a group of pioneering blockchain devshops, research teams, DAOs and individuals as a lens to focus the knowledge and experience towards building infrastructure enabling seamless interchain movement of capital, liquidity and communities to their most efficient applications. Read more about the Alliance below.
On top of that, Humanode co-founder Victor attended an AMA with Cristina Stavila from Occam.fi on why Occam is integrating the Humanode chain. The AMA session was hosted by Cointelegraph. Check out the recording on their Youtube channel. A must-see!
The Humanode Poetry Contest under the theme: “Biometric Evolution” has just ended. Thank you for the submissions. Winners will be announced soon!
Here are all the major updates. More exciting news to come!

Today, we don’t even think twice before using FaceID to unlock our phones or fingerprint to authorize apps.

But Do you know that biometrics technology is older than we thought? While the first accounts of biometric technology can be found in Babylon 500 BC, the proper biometric systems were developed in the late 19th century.

And since then, it has undergone many changes and advancements. Here's a deep dive into the evolution of biometrics over time: https://blog.humanode.io/evolution-of-biometrics/
