Humanode EVM
EVM compatibility on Humanode mainnet
After extensive testing on the Humanode EVM Testnet “Israfel”, the team has incorporated feedback and made the necessary adjustments. With the success of the public testing phase, Humanode EVM is now ready for mainnet action.
For the devs: the Humanode network now supports dApps and smart contracts developed in Solidity and other EVM-compatible languages. The seamless integration means you can now deploy your smart contracts directly onto the Humanode chain.
For users: Swap HMND for eHMND and transfer eHMND using popular EVM wallets, including MetaMask.
Remember, post-update, Human nodes will need to update the launcher app and reauthorize to facilitate this network upgrade.

Humanode Bot Basher
BotBasher for Discord is an application that has been created utilizing the Humanode private biometric verification technology, allowing Discord users to verify that their account is owned by a unique living human being, and Discord servers to create Sybil-resistant channels, by limiting specified channels to verified human beings only. As the BotBasher for Discord works alongside other popular Discord applications, the servers will be able to provide their users with Sybil-resistant voting (1 user, 1 vote), Sybil-resistant whitelisting, Sybil-resistant airdrops, NFT mints, and more!
As the technology behind the application is the Humanode crypto-biometric technology, the users can conduct private and secure uniqueness and liveness checks over anonymized data, without revealing any private information or fear of having their biometric data hacked.
As a note of caution, one user is only able to create one bio-authentication, meaning that the user can only tie one account to their physical identity, limiting their access to the BotBasher-enabled Sybil-resistant channels (or servers) to that verified account.
Once an account has been bio-authenticated and receives the role of a Verified Human, they will be able to utilize that verification for all servers that are BotBasher enabled.
🔺 BotBasher now protecting 300+ Discord server communities

KuCoin is initiating staking for the HMND token on KuCoin Exchange with 100% APR
The Humanode development team is currently working on launching Nonlinear liquidity staking on the Humanode EVM, which will be the first of its kind where liquidity pools will be secured by a network run by unique living human beings.
To add an element of excitement and offer the community an opportunity to prepare for on-chain liquidity staking, KuCoin has chosen to initiate flexible staking of HMND tokens on the KuCoin exchange.
This promotional staking phase will last for 30 days, starting October 11th, 2023 (10:00 UTC), acting as a pre-staking phase before Nonlinear LP staking.
The main features of this staking offering include:
1. Total HardCap: 5,000,000HMND
2. The soft cap for a single user: 500 HMND
3. The maximum limit for a Single User: 300,000HMND
4. Redemption period: 3 Days
5. Staking Duration: 30 days (flexible)
6. APR: 100%
How to participate?
During the promotion period, you can go to KuCoin Earn and choose the desired product for staking.
This liquidity staking on the Humanode chain is expected to be launched before the end of this staking offering by KuCoin, so the stakers will simply have a chance to shift their tokens to the on-chain staking liquidity pools.
HMND is listed on KuCoin and Bitmart, BingX, SimpleSwap, and Lunar Crush.
In the meantime, here are a few reminders to all:
- HMND cannot be traded on any DEX at the moment.
- The only places you can buy HMND at this moment are KuCoin and BitMart, SimpleSwap, BingX, and Lunar Crush.
- ALWAYS check the official announcements.

Dawn of BioDeFi — The HumanodeEVM quest series on Galxe
‘Dawn of BioDeFi’ is a six-week quest series on Galxe. And like its name, the aim with this campaign is to guide you through all the building pieces enabling a new kind of DeFi: explorer, bridge, swaps, liquidity pools, biomapping, and quadratic staking with HumanodeEVM.
➡️ How is it structured?
Over the next six weeks, the Humanode team will release tasks on Galxe. They will alternate between weeks focused on on-chain activities and others that incorporate learning HumanodeEVM’s special sauces for the DeFi and web3.
After 6 weeks, anyone who scored 50% of the maximum number of points will get 10% additional retroactive rewards* on Quadratic LP staking while winners with the most points will share a prize pool of 100,000 HMND.
*Additional rewards per individual should not exceed $300 monthly.
Contests
The Genesis NFT contest
The winner of the Best NFT contest for the Genesis collection is Entry #14! Congrats!
In this phase of the contest, the team mints the NFTs and awards them to members of the community. Although those who submitted may be nice as keep-sakes, the goal is to see the NFTs traded! Thus, the winner here is the “creator of the most Traded NFT”, which will be given to the creator of the NFT that is traded the most (average number of daily trades) in the two weeks after the NFTs official minting event.
The creator of the NFT that is traded the most will earn $500 worth of HMND, and the plan is to deploy a smart contract that will collect fees for trading the NFTs and distribute the trading fees equally to the creators of the NFTs once a month.
