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.

As you all know, the Humanode team has recently performed a server reboot for BotBasher. This means it’s time to reverify your accounts to regain your Verified Human role on Discord. Feel free to talk to the team if you encounter any problems during your re-verification. If this is your first time verifying, check the #verification channel for a guide on Discord.

Dive into Humanode’s latest article to fully grasp the immense potential and workings of private on-chain biomapping which enables Sybil checks on EVM. And don’t hesitate to join the Private On-chain Biomapping (POB) naming contest. The top 10 names win $50 worth of HMND each, and the chosen “Godfather” or “Godmother” wins $500 worth of HMND. Submit your ideas on Twitter by July 31st. Read more here.

Uncover how Humanode plans to integrate biometrics for strengthened DeFi security in the new article. For more details about the BioDeFi approach, read this research.
