Humanode EVM

EVM compatibility is live 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 out there: 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.

Users, rejoice! 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

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 are able to 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 200+ Discord server communities

Integrate BotBasher to your server: https://botbasher.humanode.io/

Humanode Mainnet

Beginning as a dream in 2017, put into action in 2020, and 4 public testnets with over 10,000 unique participants starting in 2021, Humanode has launched the first crypto-biometric blockchain network where one human = one node = one vote that brings Sybil resistance and innovative governance models to the crypto industry using biometric technology.

‘Dawn of BioDeFi’ is a six-week quest series on Galxe. And like its name, the aim of 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 most points will share a prize pool of 100,000 HMND.

*Additional rewards per individual should not exceed $300 monthly.

Zealy

Humanode Sybil-resistant Quests on Zealy

Join Humanode’s Zealy Questboard for the chance to earn rewards. Anyone can join the quests, whether you are a new community member or a long-time participant. Solve quests, find secret codes, get involved in the Humanode community, and learn about Humanode and BotBasher.

How to?

1. Visit Humanode’s Zealy Questboard, and log in to Zealy using your Discord account.

2. Complete the quests to unlock experience points (XP).

The more experience points you gain, the higher your level goes on the Zealy Questboard. The higher your level on Zealy, the more roles you can acquire, and the greater your chances of qualifying to share the prize. Zealy keeps track of the amount of XP you earn.

Here’s the link >> https://link.humanode.io/zealy <<

Wondering how the team will decide the winners and dish out $HMND rewards? Here’s a breakdown of the winning determination process:

Top 10 Sprinters: When a sprint ends, they will give a shoutout to the top 10 players who scored the most experience points (XP).

Monthly Retroactive Rewards: At the end of each month the team will retroactively reward the top 20 XP gainers on the Zealy Questboard.

Whether you aim to secure a top spot in the sprint rankings or strive for monthly recognition, every quest you finish and every XP you earn brings you closer to the prize. The determination of winners will be based solely on the XP earned. So, focus on completing quests, engaging with the community, and expanding your knowledge to maximize your chances of securing a top position.

Important things to consider:

The team is rebooting XP every 3 months so that everyone gets a fair chance to win.
You can only win 1 spot on each sprint and similarly will be eligible to win 1 spot on a monthly retroactive reward list.
The team will be adding more quests progressively.
