Humanode Biweekly vol. vol.78
26th June – 10th July

TL;DR
Dear Humanode community members and tech enthusiasts, as July begins, we're excited to share the latest progress and achievements from Humanode over the past two weeks.

Behind the scenes, the dev team is tirelessly working on various development fronts. They are diligently updating Humanode's blockchain with the latest Substrate updates and have begun transitioning to Polkadot SDK v1.0. Also, they've shipped an internal testnet 6 update with the 119 runtime update, which fixes security issues and the Grandpa RPC-related endpoints.

As you know, Humanode encountered a finality stall in blockchain operations. However, the issue was swiftly resolved, and the chain is now back to normal. This week our devs shared an analysis. Tests confirmed a root cause. We contacted the Parity team, they admitted that it is a complex issue. It would be nice to find out how and why Grandpa is voting this way, maybe it reveals the bug or not.

In an exciting new partnership, we joined forces with StableUnit, the ultimate stablecoin that automatically distributes diverse revenue streams from capital-efficient DeFi assets to stablecoin holders. StableUnit will integrate Humanode BotBasher for Sybil resistance in its Discord and Zealy campaigns, strengthening security and authenticity.

Do you remember when Telegram was the go-to communication app, especially for the crypto community? It was fantastic—until bots and scammers flooded the platform, ruining the experience for genuine users. At Humanode, we've had enough. That's why we're developing BotBasher for Telegram. Read the top 5 reasons why Telegram needs BotBasher.

Check out this latest article, "Biometric Identity Management in Decentralized Finance," written by Eugene Nnamdi, one of the talented members of the Humanode Writers Pool. Eugene’s article dives into how biometrics can enhance security and fairness in DeFi, making it a must-read.

For dystopian SciFi enthusiasts, we have the latest installment of "2067 – The Equilibrium," the Humanode-inspired novel by Shannon Higgins, the Humanode Core Media Team lead. The final chapter of The Book of Shogo, the fourth in a ten-part series, is now available. This installment continues the story set outside the walls, in a world centered around dark zones and the ruins of a dying nation. Shogo faces the reality of his emergency assignment, confronting both his past and future in unforeseen ways. To jump to The Book of Shogo 4/4, click here.

Dear Readers of 2067 -the equilibrium-

The author of 2067 -the equilibrium-, Shannon Higgins of the Humanode Media Team will be traveling during the month of July to meet up with other team members to go work on solidifying some of the upcoming releases and strategy. Thus, unfortunately, Chapter 5 of 2067 -the equilibrium- The Book of Aki, will be on hold until August.
As a sneak peak, so far the book has introduced the slums, life on the conglomerate side, the farming districts, and the unoccupied wilderness and ruined cities of Japan in 2067. The Book of Aki will be taking you into District 12, the center of technology and the ongoing hidden battle between the Community and the Conglomerates. Aki and her team will be faced with her nemesis, who this time, seems to have the backing of an Awakened AI who was supposed to remain neutral based on the treaty between the Awakened AIs and mankind.
Look forward to continuing the journey in August!

Stick, Snap, and Share! Welcome to the Humanode Sticker Challenge

Hello Humanode community members!

You know, those big commercial banks and financial institutions? They represent the very heart of traditional finance—a world often slow to embrace change and innovation. Let's gently shake things up a bit by placing Humanode right there. It’s a fun, cheeky way to question the old ways and spark some good conversations about how finance could be different.

What’s the deal?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take the Humanode logo and plant it on the building of a commercial bank or a government financial institute (the closer to the main entrance the better ;))... somewhere in your city!

Who can participate?

You can! Anyone, Anywhere, who's ready to make a statement.

Where to Play?
Globally! Any commercial bank or a government financial institution you can find can be your canvas.

Wen?
The game is on! You have 3 weeks starting today.

What's in it for you?
How about a chance to dive into a pool of $2000 in $HMND? Not enough? Let's make it more exciting and double the treasure to $4000! Join 200 winners to share the prize pool equally. And a bonus $100 for the most daring entry! Hint: Choose a location closer to the main entrance or a spot that’s highly visible to people for a better chance to win. More influential the bank/institute, the better the chance to win ;))

How do I participate?

Grab your weapon – Download the Humanode logo sticker of your choice

Print it – Think of big but not billboard big (around 10x10 cm should do the trick)

Choose your battlefield – Look for any financial institution. Be it a bank, government building, or a Fintech company.

Snap and Share –
I. Make a short video while slapping the sticker (you need to ensure the institution is visible in the video)
II. Take a picture of the placed sticker zoomed out so that the building and institute’s logo/name are visible
III. Upload the picture and video in a single post on X tagging humanode_io with hashtags #humanode#stickerninja.

Claim your trophy – Submit the tweet link to Tidehttps://tideprotocol.xyz/users/campaign/3fc5aa31-2d90-4f29-82d1-39ffd94d2841

Submit your entries by July 22nd, 2024!
