TL;DR
Greetings, tech geeks and enthusiasts! We’re excited to bring you the latest Humanode updates from the last two weeks.
First and foremost, the WeHMND/WETH LP Biostaking program has officially launched, offering participants the chance to earn rewards over the next 6 months. By staking your LP tokens, you can immediately start receiving benefits, with expected yields ranging from 100% to 1000% APR. This is calculated using a non-linear quadratic formula, ensuring a balanced distribution of rewards across different liquidity sizes. This staking program runs from June 14th, 2024, to December 12th, 2024. To participate, ensure your EVM address is biomapped for the 1 Person = 1 EVM Account. For detailed instructions, refer to the Biodefi Guide and stake your tokens via the Humanode Biostaker.
On the development front, the team is advancing the integration of BotBasher with Telegram. The prototype is nearly finalized, and recent discussions and tests have refined the system, accommodating up to 2 million users. The next version is approaching its pre-final iteration. Additionally, the team is improving the integration with FaceTec, Humanode’s primary biometric provider. This upgrade includes new authorization and enrollment flows, enhancing user experience by providing clear error messages during biometric verification. BotBasher’s user experience is also being upgraded. A new feature will display users’ Discord account details (username and avatar) during the biometric authorization process, ensuring they are linking the correct account.
In publications, the Humanode team has released a comprehensive report simplifying the complexities of blockchain governance. For developers, Dimitry Lavernov shares valuable insights on building with the Polkadot SDK, making the process more approachable.
The 4th chapter of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel “2067 — The Equilibrium,” written by Shannon Higgins, has been updated. In this chapter, Shogo faces his past while navigating his future. The novel explores the sacrifices and struggles of civilization, emphasizing the unseen efforts behind societal changes. Read the latest part of the Book of Shogo here, or start from the beginning here.
Last week, FireSide chat took place on Humanode Radio on Discord, offering the community an opportunity to engage with the team, explore updates, and join stimulating discussions. Join the team for future events.
Finally, the team announced the winners of the Humanode Short Story Contest. SilverSkye claimed first place with “Never Letting Go: A Vortex Love Story,” a unique narrative exploring Vortex in a way we hadn’t imagined. Second place goes to Fed0798 for “The Ancient City,” a story highlighting governance struggles and community growth. Third place is awarded to Venus1084 for a story centered on Vortex, focusing on justice, equality, and technological development. Congratulations!
That’s all for today. Stay tuned for more intriguing updates!

Unlike stablecoins, WETH offers a dynamic value tied to Ethereum, giving stakers who prefer dynamic pools over stablecoins a chance to earn higher returns.
But that’s not all. ChainPort is working on enabling WETH bridging from other supported chains, including Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, Optimism, and more to Humanode with much lower fees.

Contests
🔺Humanode Short Story Contest
The team announced the winners of the Humanode Short Story Contest.
The winner of the Short Story contest goes to SilverSkye for the creation of “Never letting go: A Vortex Love Story”, most likely the world’s first love story based on Vortex. The storyline was something the creators of Vortex never imagined, and may never come to be, but that is the power of fantasy and imagination! The writer managed to grab a spark of imagination of a “what if…” after understanding the Vortex, and gave it a growth path that we had never imagined. Kudos to SilverSkye!
Second place will be given to Fed0798 for writing “The Ancient City”, a story about struggling governance, the importance of education, and the importance of thinking of the growth of the whole community and not just grabbing power in the hands of a few. Although not themed around Vortex per se, the concepts shared in the short story showed the importance of striving to work for justice and the well-being of all.
The third place was a tough call. However, we will give the prize to Venus1084. The story was one of striving to fight for justice and equality, to preserve the balance of nature, and to develop new technologies, centered around Vortex.
Here’s the winning story Never Letting Go: A Vortex Love Story
