AI agents are starting to blend into the web. They post, trade, bridge funds, join communities, and look just like us. The question is shifting from “what’s real?” to “who’s actually there?” That is why we started this series: Anti-Sybil Approaches. To study how different teams are trying to make sure onchain activity comes from real humans instead of scripts, farms, or agents. We covered Proof of Humanity and Civic. Now we’re looking at Humanity Protocol and its approach to keep participation human without revealing personal info.

Time for this week's validator poll. If you’ve linked your validator address to your bio-authenticated Discord, just head to ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠human-node-polls and vote. If not, you can still do it. Remember, voting is part of the deal under Proof-of-Polls to be eligible for full validator rewards. As always, the poll will be open for 3 days. Jump in and cast your vote.

While markets shift and trends fade, Biostaking remains one of the Humanode network’s steady systems; fair, Sybil-resistant at its core. Each staker verifies once through Biomapper and earns rewards through a nonlinear model that keeps returns balanced for both small and large LPs, with yields ranging from 100% to 200% depending on liquidity. Every LP adds depth to the network, keeping trading stable across DEXs deployed on Humanode. Three pools are live now: WeHMND/USDC, WeHMND/WBTC, and WeHMND/WETH. Add liquidity, biomap once, and start Biostaking. Read the full piece to understand how Biostaking powers Humanode’s liquidity and why it continues to matter: https://blog.humanode.io/still-running-biostaking-on-humanode/

Formation is one of the core parts of the Vortex. It’s a system for building, funding, and collaborating. Open to every bioauthorized human node. You don’t need to be in governance to take part. You can propose, join, or build, and if the community backs you, the project goes live. Here’s how Formation will work inside the Vortex: https://blog.humanode.io/vortex-and-formation/

Every single transaction that Catacomb Crawler user's will make on Humanode chain will increase the fees -> increase payouts to validators -> increase amount of validators -> increase decentralization.

We’ve talked about Catacomb Crawlers for weeks now. The upcoming launch, the hybrid round, the team behind it. But the real story is the game itself. A roguelike that pulls you in with its rhythm; brutal, fast, and designed to keep you saying one more run at 3 a.m. We wrote about what makes it worth playing and why it feels like the first game that actually belongs onchain.

Sybil and the Machine: Myth, Multiplicity, and the Crisis of Verification In Web3, we talk about Sybil attacks as fraud; one pretending to be many. But the myth of the Sibyl was never about deception. It was about voices; fragmented, plural, alive. Sasha Shilina’s new essay explores what happens when proof of liveness meets the plurality of human identity. Can we build systems that tell a choir from a ventriloquist?

Wallet =/= user. One person can farm 50 wallets and skew every stat you track. But what if explorers could checkmark wallets that belong to real, unique humans? With Biomapper, they can now. And it changes everything. Learn what it means for devs and degens: https://blog.humanode.io/one-checkmark-thats-changing-the-way-we-understand-onchain-data/

BotBasher for Discord Servers Reset and Updated We've reset and updated BotBasher for Discord servers. BotBasher has been updated to Gen. 7 and Gen. 6 roles are deprecated and can no longer be obtained. For everything to work smoothly, the server administrators will need to create a new role based on the latest generation i.e., Gen. 7 BotBasher. Here’s the guide: https://blog.humanode.io/botbasher-update-announcement-for-server-administrators/  Users will need to verify using the latest Generation (Gen. 7) to get the human-verified status.  For those on the Humanode Discord server, you can go ahead and become a verified Human again. Thank you for your cooperation!

Biomapper servers update and reset  Dear LP stakers and biomapped individuals, The generation for Humanode Biomapper has been updated following CVM rotations. Please Biomap again to make sure you stay Biomapped.  Especially for Humanode LP Stakers, keep in mind that this update doesn't affect your stakes in any way; however, you must Biomap to be able to claim your rewards. Another thing to note is that this update to the biometric servers will not affect BotBasher verification, and all previously encrypted biometric data is deleted permanently during this process. Thank you for your cooperation!
