TL;DR
Hey, human nodes! Are you ready for an upcoming public sale? Only a few hours left before the first wave starts. Wave 1 which is dedicated to Humanode validators and researchers is set to go live tomorrow, the 6th of October, at 14:00 UTC. Humanode has reached the quota for it, so Wave 1 whitelist will remain closed and no new submissions will be accepted. If you’re not whitelisted, Waves 2 and 3 for friends and the broader community are still open. DAO participants from LobsterDAO, Aragon, Proof of Humanity, Bankless, and Gitcoin can now claim their respective places in the second wave by submitting the proper required info.
While you are preparing your minds and hearts for the public sale, read our report full of the latest Humanode updates. The last two weeks have been extremely intense and exciting for the Humanode teams.
As for the network development, the team implemented manual signing support for token claims, added multi-sig support, fixed protocol installation at CI, switched pallet-bioauth to BoundedVec, and limited the session validators amount.
Considering the Bio-Auth, they added images to the face recognition datasets and started retraining, improved the accuracy of optical flow visualization-based liveness detection with enhanced datasets, and automated the evaluation process of optical flow visualization-based liveness detection.
Moreover, the Humanode team enabled IP address family preference selection while doing DNS resolution, and updated Humanode docs.
As you all know Humanode and AIKON have partnered recently to make web3 more secure and accessible to a wider range of users. This is a big step forward for projects in web3. Read the freshly-published interview as Marc Blinder, the founder of AIKON, discusses the strategic partnership with Humanode and how it will help projects in Web3.
Humanode will be presenting at The DAOist conference in Bogota, Colombia the day before Devcon. Going to shed light on the real state of decentralization in crypto.
Due to popular demand, the team extended the deadline for entries to our current ‘Humanode’s Got Talent’ contest. The deadline is today, hurry up! If you do magic tricks, play musical instruments, sing, dance, or have any other talent to show it is the time to express yourself and show off and a great chance to win $ 1,000.

Some reminders before it begins:
1) Pass the KYC verification on Tokensoft. If you haven’t done it you won’t be able to participate in the sale. All the KYC’d accounts will be included in the list 12 HOURS BEFORE THE SALE BEGINS, on the 6th of October, 2:00 UTC so if you don’t pass the KYC before that you won’t be able to participate.
2) If you run into any kind of problem you should have messaged sillis or cyber_ on discord to sort out everything manually.
3) To make sure that you indeed have been whitelisted you can use this final checker to see your KYC status on Tokensoft and the Wave number that you were admitted to. Other wave participants can use it as well.
4) The researchers that didn’t receive the email about the participation but have submitted their pieces should also reach out to cyber_ on Discord to sort things out manually.
5) The currencies that will be accepted are ETH and USDC so be sure to prepare them beforehand. Also please keep in mind that there are fees in the ETH network.
See you at the public sale!

Additional Info:
Humanode Testnet
Testnet 4 ‘Gaghiel’ is live
A couple of weeks ago, the Humanode team announced the launch of Humanode testnet 4 ‘Gaghiel’.
After the successful test of Grandpa-enabled Testnet 3 “Ramiel”, the Humanode dev team has been working hard to make the Humanode blockchain technology even better. Testnet 4 “Gaghiel’’ will be focusing on token claims, vesting, and unlocking systems that the team will use to distribute tokens at TGE.
Here’s a hint: since Humanode main goal for Testnet 4 is to test the token claims and vesting period, running a node in testnet 4 isn’t compulsory. However, Gaghiel is open to everyone. If you’d like to run testnet 4, this is specially prepared for you: https://link.humanode.io/testnet4.
