TL;DR

Hello, fellow humans and tech enthusiasts!

First and foremost, we are excited to announce that Humanode Biomapper & SDK have been officially released to all those who develop on the Humanode chain. The release comes with the official documentation and an SDK which includes smart contracts that can be used to quickly add Biomapper functionality to your services and DApps. This is an exciting development, as it is yet another step forward in one of Humanode’s major goals to provide secure and private Sybil-resistance to the Web3 universe.

Additionally, the Humanode dev team focused on blockchain progress, successfully restoring block finalization on testnet 5 and exploring methods for receiving alerts promptly in such situations. Discussions on the incentive structure for human nodes, progress on the roadmap, and upcoming features for development were also held.

In terms of partnerships, Humanode integrated with Talisman Wallet, enabling users to manage HMND and eHMND assets effortlessly. They also teamed up with PoolzBoost, integrating BotBasher with the platform to ensure real human engagement in quests. Furthermore, the collaboration with Ancient8 introduced Humanode’s cryptobiometric tech to combat Sybil attacks and ensure fair reward distribution in play-to-earn (P2E) games.

The great news is, Humanode has integrated Biomapper with Galxe. This integration allows users to verify uniqueness and personhood by directly linking their EVM addresses to their private biometrics through biomapping. No more bots and Sybil attackers to disrupt Galxe campaigns! On top of that, the Biomapper Saga campaign on Galxe continues, offering rewards for participation and teaming up with Viction, Mantle Network, and Ancient8.

Furthermore, to raise awareness, the Humanode team hosted a Founders Talk last week, discussing Biomapper, current developments, and goals.

Lastly, Humanode initiated the Biomapper meme contest, inviting participants to submit memes related to Humanode for a chance to win rewards.

That’s all for today. See you in two weeks!
