Biweekly update vol.73, 17th April — 1st May
TL;DR
Hello, human nodes! This biweekly report provides an overview of the main news, development updates, and recent events within the Humanode ecosystem. Let’s start!
First, human nodes have surged from 483 to 701 in less than a month, underscoring the growing interest and participation in the network. This brings the network closer to the milestone of 1000 human nodes, a testament to the robustness and attractiveness of the Humanode ecosystem.
Moreover, Humanode’s collaboration with Impossible Finance marks a significant step towards network sustainability. The decision to allocate 60% of swap fees from Impossible Finance to the Humanode network not only enhances the platform’s financial sustainability but also provides a lucrative incentive for validators. The first buy-back will happen this week.
Behind the scenes, the Humanode team is tirelessly working on various development fronts. The focus has been on Substrate updates, particularly merging v0.9.42. Additionally, the team is gearing up to integrate BLS12–381, slated for version 117. Keep an eye out for version 116 distribution on the mainnet in the coming days. Furthermore, the team continued to leverage ZombieNet, especially for testing multiple nodes. Prioritizing testing the genesis with over 1k validators, the team is also eyeing 5k validators in the near future. On top of that, the team has been actively enhancing BotBasher, with a new component — token sustainer — now in staging.
Also, the team has made a few updates to the guide on launching and running a node on the Humanode network. The latest version includes the latest updated information, new screenshots, and an FAQ section addressing the most common queries. You can access the updated guide here.
Humanode’s strategic partnerships and community engagement initiatives play a pivotal role in driving ecosystem growth and awareness. The integration of Humanode Network into SubWallet, a comprehensive wallet solution for the Polkadot, Substrate, and Ethereum ecosystems, expands accessibility and usability for users across multiple platforms.
Furthermore, the listing of HMND on MEXC exchange enhances liquidity and trading opportunities for the Humanode community. MEXC became the 9th exchange to list HMND.
In addition to technological advancements, Humanode is actively contributing to thought leadership in the blockchain space through insightful publications. The comparative analysis of Layer-1 blockchain economies, authored by Humanode co-founder Victor, offers valuable insights into validator rewards and economic incentives across different networks. Similarly, the exploration of biometrics as a solution to the digital media crisis underscores Humanode’s commitment to leveraging technology for societal benefit.
The introduction of the Humanode-inspired dystopian novel series, “2067 — The Equilibrium,” provides a creative narrative that highlights the importance of preventing undesirable futures through innovation and collective action.
That’s a wrap. Stay in the loop!
