Biweekly update vol.75, 15th May –29th May
TL;DR
As May draws to a close, we are excited to share the latest progress and achievements from Humanode over the past two weeks.
Firstly, we are pleased to announce the extension of Humanode’s LP staking program for another 6 months. Following the conclusion of the old LP staking contract on May 18th, a new contract for the WeHMND/USDC pool was deployed on May 20th. This extension adds 2,628,000 HMND to the reward pool, providing the community with continued opportunities for participation and rewards. Moreover, the team is preparing to launch a new LP staking program for WeHMND/WETH, further expanding our staking options. For detailed instructions on how to stake, please refer to the guide on Biostaker.
Furthermore, the team introduces the Vortex Guidebook, a comprehensive resource that describes Humanode’s governance structure. Understanding governance mechanisms is crucial for active community participation and decision-making, and the Vortex Guidebook aims to make this information accessible to all.
Worth mentioning, Humanode’s new State of Crypto Governance series delves into the complexities of decentralized decision-making in blockchain protocols, providing insights into the nuances of governance infrastructure. Check out Part I with the introduction to blockchain governance. Part II describes specifics of governance infrastructure.
Turning to Humanode’s development efforts, the team has been hard at work enhancing blockchain infrastructure with Substrate updates, facilitating integration with layer 2 networks and bridges. We are also excited about Humnanode’s ongoing integration efforts, particularly the integration of Telegram with BotBasher. Last week, the team developed and tested various integration schemes. The following kinds of actions have been verified: getting chat participants, kicking users from chat, listening chat joining request, listening chat config changes. On the user experience front, the team has improved the Biostaker UI, ensuring a seamless staking experience for the community.
In terms of partnerships, Humanode continues to expand its ecosystem. The collaboration with Analog will facilitate seamless connectivity between Humanode and other chains, enabling dApps to leverage Humanode’s cryptobiometric technology for Sybil-resistance. Additionally, the partnership with ContinuumDAO brings decentralized MPC infrastructure to the Humanode EVM, enhancing cross-chain functionality and liquidity. The team also announced partnerships with KEKKAI and Aurora, further bolstering their efforts to combat bots and ensure a secure and Sybil-free experience. KEKKAI’s integration with BotBasher will enhance security on their Discord, while Aurora will utilize BotBasher for Sybil resistance on its Zealy campaign.
Moreover, Humanode released new tutorial videos to guide you through the process of using BotBasher. For users on how to get verified with BotBasher, and for admins on how to integrate BotBasher into Discord servers.
Enjoy the final episode from the Book of Yumi, the third chapter of 2067 — The Equilibrium, the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel. Read Chapter 3 or start from the beginning.
Finally, don’t hesitate to join the Humanode Short Story Contest, where participants are challenged to craft fictional short stories inspired by Vortex, Cognitocracy, or Humanode technology in governance. Submit your story here. For more details about the contest tap here.
That’s a wrap. With summer on the horizon, stay tuned for more exciting updates.
