Human nodes, it’s time for your biweekly update—here’s everything you need to know about the latest developments, new events, and exciting updates in the Humanode ecosystem!
🔴Main news: 2 years of mainnet
🔴Development: Telegram BotBasher is on the way
🔴The first IRL conference of Humanode: DAO Simulator, the first speakers
🔴Integrations: Analog’s custom quest on Intract
🔴Publications: Humanode CVM for verifiable data processing
🔴2067-the equilibrium: The Book of Jack finale
🔴ELI5: How epochs work in Humanode
Two years ago today 200 pioneers have begun to validate the Humanode network with nothing more than their biometrics, marking history with running a novel consensus mechanism not reliant on either capital or mining equipment.
Through ups and downs we went, disbelief was crushed, pessimism shifted to optimism and then back to pessimism many, many times.
But here we are. 10 M blocks, hundreds of thousands transactions and 2 M bioverifications later without a single Sybil node deployed on the chain. With 1600 real unique human running, owning and sharing the network fees equally. BotBasher, Biomapper on EVM, Sybil-resistant LP staking and CVM 2.0.
What will there be in another two years?
10 000+ Human nodes, a working democratic, egalitarian Vortex DAO, a Fath mechanism for equal emission distribution, SR gate for stable web 2/3 Sybil-resistant accounts and so much more!
So long live human nodes! Long live egalitarian decentralization! The future is bright and you’re part of it!
Just a quick reminder: if you’re planning to join us in Istanbul for the first IRL Humanode Conference, don’t forget to get on the whitelist!

Analog knows BotBasher’s the real deal for Sybil resistance, so they added a custom quest on Intract to bring BotBasher in as Proof of Uniqueness. 👥
Prove you’re human, snag the BotBasher Discord role with a 99% humanity score, mint the humanity medallion, and pick up those bonus points at the finish line.
Analog’s got Sybil resistance covered!

Yes, the weekend has come upon us, and so has the second installment of The Book of Jack, the 6th chapter of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel, 2067 -the equilibrium- written by the Humanode Media Team lead Shannon Higgins.
Jack looks back at his time spent in D9, how he ended up there, and how he managed to leave. Those snippets of “experiences” have been deeply engraved in his memories, and have been the source of nightmares for years to come. At the same time, they have very much shaped his future.

The weekend has arrived, and so has the first part of The Book of Jack, the 6th chapter of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel, 2067 -the equilibrium- written by the Humanode Media Team lead Shannon Higgins.
Yes, it is time to meet Higashimura Jack, a survivor of the quake that destroyed Tokyo, a survivor of a plot trying to “take him out”, a rare pioneer who had not only lived in the city of Tokyo before the quake, Tokyo as it was being rebuilt, District 5, 3, 9, a darkzone, and then District 6. He is a journalist, a storyteller, a businessman, a consultant, a builder, a farmer, a visionary, alone, and in general, a “jack of all trades” who never feels like he belongs. This is his story of where he came from, and where he hopes to go.

The Humanode community and mobile gaming industry have been abuzz with the news of Catacomb Crawlers joining the Humanode ecosystem, bringing the world’s first Sybil-resistant mobile game!
Sure, there’s a lot of focus on how this could change the status quo and if it will become the game that shifts the Web3 space - but before we start speculating, let’s talk about the most important question - who are the people behind Catacomb Crawlers?
So, we simply decided to sit down with Florin Mitu (Co-founder) and Alex Carbunariu (CMO) to find out.
Check it out: https://blog.humanode.io/meet-the-minds-behind-catacomb-crawlers-and-their-vision-for-sybil-resistance-gaming/

🔴Regular biometric servers update and reset
🔴BotBasher has been updated to Gen5
🔴Biomapper update: LP stakers please biomap
🔴Ecosystem Funding Program launches
🔴Catacomb Crawlers is the first Sybil-resistant game under Humanode incubation

Biometric servers update and reset
Dear human nodes,
The biometric servers have been updated, and have been rebooted.
Please re-enroll and re-authenticate to ensure that your node continues to run seamlessly without missing an epoch.
Keep in mind that you do not need to rotate the keys but you must re-enroll.
One other thing to note is that this update of the biometric servers will not affect BotBasher verification, and all previous encrypted biometric data is deleted forever during this process.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Dear Verified humans,
As previously announced, BotBasher has been updated to Gen5 and the server has been reset. Gen4 roles are deprecated and can no longer be obtained.
For everything to work smoothly, the server administrator of your Discord will need to create a new role based on the latest generation i.e. Gen5 BotBasher.
Some servers may not update immediately. For those on the Humanode Discord server, you can go ahead and become a verified Human again.
As a note, this one verification process will be good for all Gen5 Discord Servers, and you will just need to tie your freshly verified account to the new role on all servers supporting Liveness active Gen5.
To do next:
1. Server admins - prepare new roles (or tweak and update current roles). Check this article out to see how to do it: https://blog.humanode.io/botbasher-update-announcement-for-server-administrators/
2. Users/Everyone else - claim your new roles! (i.e. Go to linked roles, and select your role (in the case of Humanode, Verified Human)). It is important to remember that you can only tie your biometrics to ONE Discord account. If you tie it to the wrong account, well, you will have to wait 6 months for the next reset.
We thank you all for joining our resistance towards Sybil's attacks and are looking forward to seeing you all as Verified human beings again!
Dear human nodes, LP stakers, and verified humans,
We have an important announcement to share with you regarding the biometrics servers on the Humanode chain and for Botbasher. There will be a scheduled reset to the biometrics servers for CVM and biometrics upgrades on Thursday, October 10th, 2024.
➡️ For node runners, this update means that you will need to go through bioauthentication enrollment to ensure that your node continues to run seamlessly.
We understand that this reset is time-sensitive, and we will make a quick announcement before the reset is initiated so that everyone is ready to re-enroll and re-authenticate within an epoch to avoid downtime in the validator status. (No, you don’t need to set/rotate keys just re-enroll and re-authenticate)
➡️For those who are participating in LP Staking, the update means that you will need to Biomap again to ensure that you can claim staking rewards.
➡️For those who got verified as unique humans in any Discord server, you will have to reverify and get the role again. Similarly, the server admins using Botbasher for Sybil resistance will have to recreate the assigned role. We will publish the instructions for that separately.
One thing to note is that updates to all three servers will not happen at the same time.
Here’s a guideline for you to stay connected and synced on updates:
1️⃣ We will separately announce when each server is updated so that everyone remains synced.
2️⃣Keep an eye on chain-ops and botbasher-ops channels on the Humanode Discord server to remain updated about the progress.
3️⃣Once the reset is completed, there will be an announcement so that you can start the enrollment and authentication immediately.
Do not worry. This is a regular update scheduled every six months, during which we wipe all the biometric data stored and update our servers. So, if you are a human node, you’ll not lose the longevity of running your node as long as you don't change your substrate address and re-enroll and re-authenticate within 1 to 2 hours after the reset.
On the bright side, this is a perfect opportunity for those who lost their keys or want to change to a Substrate address to run a node on the Humanode network and for those who accidentally connected a wrong Discord account for unique human verification.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Humanode Core
📢The time has come to let the cat out of the bag and announce the Humanode ecosystem funding and incubation program to nurture new Sybil-resistant projects on our chain.

Happy Friday! To celebrate the weekend, here is the final installment of The Book of Jack, the 6th chapter of 6th chapter of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel, 2067 -the equilibrium- written by the Humanode Media Team lead Shannon Higgins!
In the final installment of The Book of Jack, Jack and Mami find themselves talking about Jack’s experience in D7, and his first impression of the Vortex, which by this time has been running for 40+ years, as the foundation of Liquid Democracy. But like many things, after 40+ years, tweaking may be needed…
As the cyber attack on D6 commences in the background, Jack and Mami are rushed back to D7. Jack comes up with some ideas that might help him, the project he works with, and the community, but little does he know, others have plans too.

The gaming world’s got a serious Sybil problem—bots and scammers messing up in-game economies and making it unfair for real, dedicated players. It’s a mess, and it annoys every gamer.
Catacomb Crawlers realizes this problem and says nope, not here. That's why it’s going to be the first game to integrate Humanode's cryptobiometric tech to keep Sybils away. One person, one account. That’s it!
And the best part? You only have to prove you're a unique human when it matters—when you enter the marketplace or trade NFTs. No constant verification, no game interruptions. Just play, have fun, and when you want to trade, you perform a quick private biometric check. Simple as that.
Learn how they plan to keep their marketplace Sybil free: https://blog.humanode.io/how-humanodes-tech-makes-catacomb-crawlers-game-sybil-resistant/

Catacomb Crawlers, a mobile roguelike survival, is launching as the first Sybil-resistant game under Humanode incubation.
Developed by Emeroth Studio, the team that worked on League of Legends, Valorant, Heroes of Newerth, and Final Fantasy, the game attracted 240K+ downloads during its beta just through Web2 marketing.
Catacomb Crawlers will be the first game to launch on the Humanode chain integrating in-game NFTs, marketplace, and utilizing Humanode’s biomapper to combat Sybil attacks on rewards.
Players will only need to prove they are unique real humans when they enter the marketplace to trade tokens for in-game assets or other rewards.
The game stands out not just because of its mechanics but also because of its quality. It’s just good—better than any Web2 competitor in its genre.
And with its ability to attract Web2 gamers into a Web3 environment, it could lead the way for a new era of Web3 games. And it all starts here with Humanode.
Beyond this launch, Emeroth Studio plans to fully adopt the Humanode chain for its future projects, making Catacomb Crawlers the start of a long-term collaboration.
Catacomb Crawlers is the first project to be part of our $10 million Ecosystem Funding Program.
The program focuses on helping projects bring in real, unique users to the Humanode chain through Sybil-resistant tech.

The weekend is upon us, and so is 4/4, the final section of The Book of Aki, the 5th chapter of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel, 2067 -the equilibrium- written by the Humanode Media Team lead Shannon Higgins.
Not only is the largest attack in the Community history pounding down, unknown to Aki, they have less than 6 hours before the world they had built may come to an end… or at least be cut off from the rest of the world. Tetsuro cannot stop grinning, as his dream is finally coming true…
