TL;DR

Hello, fellow humans and tech enthusiasts!

Over the past two weeks, the Humanode development team has been unwavering in their dedication, channeling their efforts towards advancing the project through significant strides in Substrate updates. Their commitment has yielded tangible results, most notably with the successful deployment of version v0.9.40 on the mainnet. A pivotal aspect of their recent endeavors lies in the seamless transition from the London to the Shanghai version of the EVM. In parallel with ongoing development efforts, the Humanode team is actively engaged in adapting changes for the upcoming v0.9.42 release.

The expansion of partnerships continues to be a cornerstone of Humanode’s strategy. Check out the comprehensive infographics of the Humanode ecosystem that underscores the project’s multifaceted approach to ecosystem development, encompassing diverse sectors such as DeFi, wallets, exchanges, gaming, bridges, and L1/L2 ecosystems.

These weeks, the project has forged alliances with several key entities, further solidifying its position within the blockchain landscape. The collaboration with Nibiru Chain, renowned for its robust infrastructure and security features, exemplifies Humanode’s commitment to fortifying the broader blockchain ecosystem against potential threats such as Sybil attacks. Similarly, the partnership with Hybrid, an AI-based EVM-compatible layer 1 chain, aims to ensure a bot and multi-account-free airdrop process, enhancing the integrity of such distributions. Participate in the Hybrid Odyssey campaign to earn Hybrid points.

Additionally, the collaboration with Zebec empowers real-time, frictionless, and continuous streams of payments, while integrating BotBasher for Sybil-resistant Zealy campaigns. Moreover, the integration of BotBasher by Warden Protocol for a Sybil-resistant ecosystem has been a success.

In the realm of community engagement and knowledge sharing, Humanode has continued to foster a culture of collaboration and education. Events such as the recent Founders Talk offer valuable insights into the project’s roadmap and upcoming Biomapper release, fostering transparency and alignment with the community.

As we gear up for the Biomapper’s debut, the team has decided to put together insightful articles on its potential applications. Read the first article to learn how Humanode Biomapper can protect airdrop campaigns from Sybil threats while ensuring user anonymity remains intact.

Continuing the momentum, the ongoing Biomapper Saga on Galxe provides participants with opportunities to actively engage with the project while earning rewards and contributing to its success.

Humanode’s new research delves into the historical, philosophical, and cultural aspects of identity verification, tracing its evolution from ancient wisdom to modern biometrics. Along this journey, they find connections between the past and our technologically advanced future. A must-read!

In summation, the past two weeks have been marked by significant progress in development and strategic collaborations for Humanode. Stay tuned for more. See you in two weeks!
