Biomapper C2 is now live; Biomapper C1 deployed on XRPL EVM Etherlink and Soneium; Firefly Integration; HumanodeCon IV this Saturday; Founders Talk recording, and more.

TL;DR

Hey Human nodes,

It’s a big week for us, so here’s everything you need to know in one go. Biomapper C2 is now live, taking cross-chain biomapping to the next level with a smoother, more seamless experience. To celebrate, we’re covering the fees for the first 58,500 successful Biomap + Bridge completions — that means you’ll get your biomap fee, Humanode network fee, and bridge gas refunded in HMND or eHMND on September 30th. Just head to the Biomapper Dashboard, complete your C2 biomap, bridge and verify on a supported chain, and you’re set. Quotas are open across chains like Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, Soneium, XRPL, and many more, so don’t miss the chance to biomap for free.

Alongside this, Biomapper has just been deployed on Etherlink and Soneium. Etherlink brings EVM speed and affordability to Tezos, while Soneium is Sony’s new Layer-2 built for creativity and expression. Both now integrate Humanode’s biometric Sybil resistance so builders can verify that their users are real, unique human beings, without the friction of KYC. Developers can get started right away with our SDKs, docs, and integration guides.

On the interoperability front, Humanode is now integrated with Firefly’s beta version, which means you can bridge USDC and WETH from 70 different chains to the Humanode EVM. Even better, Firefly V2 will soon let you move WeHMND in and out of Humanode, expanding the possibilities even further. You can try the integration already at Firefly Labs.

If you missed it last week, Dato and Victor sat down for a Founders Talk, sharing updates, perspectives, and stories from the journey, and the recording is still up if you want to listen back. And of course, all eyes are now on HumanodeCon IV in Bucharest this Saturday, September 6th. Seats are nearly gone, and the program is packed: opening keynotes, a debate on planetary DAOs, lectures, a group photo, and the much-anticipated DAO Simulator workshop. We’ll be at MILLE 18 Events on the top floor of the Royal Palace Hotel Galleries from 14:30 to 20:30, so if you haven’t registered yet, this is your last chance.

So that’s the week: free biomaps, new deployments, bridges to everywhere, a founders deep-dive, and a conference that’s about to make waves. Thanks for being here, building with us, and proving once again that a network built on human uniqueness can’t be captured. See you on-chain, or in Bucharest.

Stay human,

The Humanode Team

⛓️ Cross-chain Biomapping

Biomapper C2 is now live

C1 made Biomapper cross-chain. Now, Biomapper C2 takes it a step further, providing you with a significantly enhanced user experience.

To celebrate, we’re covering the fees for the first 58,500 successful Biomap + Bridge completions. Refund = biomap fee + Humanode network fee + bridge gas. Paid back in HMND/eHMND on Sept 30th.

Here's how to get your free biomap:

1. Complete Biomapper C2: https://mainnet.biomapper.hmnd.app/dashboard

2. Bridge & Verify on one of the supported chains

Biomap is free under quota on these chains:

Arbitrum [2000] · Aurora [3000] · Avalanche [10,000] · Base [10,000] · Botanix [1000] · Catacomb Crawlers [500] · Etherlink [1000] · Filecoin [1000] · Hemi [1000] · Hyperliquid [1000] · Linea [3000] · Manta [1000] · Metis [1000] · Nibiru [1000] · Ontology [1000] · Scroll [2000] · Sei [1000] · Soneium [10,000] · Sonic [1000] · Story [1000] · Unichain [1000] · Vanar [2000] · Wanchain [1000] · XRPL [2000]

Rules and FAQs for Free Biomap on Biomapper C2 Campaign

Biomapper deployed on Etherlink

As Etherlink brings fast, fair, and (nearly) free EVM to Tezos rails, it makes sense to add the Biomapper to ensure the people creating and interacting are real, unique human beings.

For those who aren’t aware, Etherlink is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 powered by Tezos Smart Rollup technology, offering sub-second confirmations and low fees in a permissionless, censorship-resistant environment.

Using Humanode’s biometric Sybil resistance, developers building dApps and services on Etherlink can verify users are unique and real, privately and securely with just a few lines of code, and without intrusive KYC.

If you’re interested in adding Biomapper, check out the SDK and guides below:

Biomapper deployed on Soneium

As Soneium gets things ready for bringing creativity and expression onchain, it only makes sense to deploy the Biomapper SDK to ensure the ones creating and interacting are real, unique human beings.

For those who aren’t aware, Soneium is an Eth Layer-2 developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, which aims to evoke emotion and empower creativity.

Devs building dApps and services on Soneium can plug in Humanode’s biometric Sybil resistance to verify each user is a unique, real person, privately and securely.

It takes just a few lines of code, and users don’t have to go through intrusive, cumbersome KYC.

Integration Guide

And don’t forget Biomapper C1 is live on:

Aurora Network, XRPL EVM Sidechain, Ontology EVM, Botanix, Metis, Vanar, Verax, Unichain, Nibiru, Hemi, Manta, Scroll, Arbitrum, Janction Testnet, Hyperliquid, Story, Sei Network, Sonic, Base, Filecoin, Avalanche.

Firefly Integration: Bridge USDC and WETH from 70 Chains to Humanode

Humanode is now integrated with Firefly’s beta version, enabling cross-chain bridging of USDC and WETH from 70 chains to the Humanode EVM.

For those new to it, Firefly is a cross-chain bridge and swap platform that lets you bridge and swap tokens between dozens of blockchains.

Soon, Firefly V2 will also let you transfer WeHMND in and out of Humanode, expanding interoperability even further.

LP Staking

🚀🌱 WeHMND/WBTC Biostaking contract

The previous WeHMND/WBTC staking contract (0xdfeD566EBdEaAB44085e85C0000561197FEc98f4) ended on July 25, 2025. We have deployed a new biostaking contract (0x6b1Eb9720D06d43F94e9f36A5AD80A386c338343), which is live from the same time in the same block as the previous one ended and will run for 6 months.

If you are staked in the current pool:

1. You’ll need to unstake and restake your LP tokens in the latest contract.

2. Rewards for the new contract will start rolling in as soon as you stake in the new contract.

Keep in mind:

1. Rewards will stop from the previous contract once it ends. Your LP tokens are safe, but you’ll need to unstake and migrate to the new contract if you want to keep earning.

2. No additional rewards will be issued for the previous contract. However, you’ll still be able to claim the rewards you have already earned.

Make sure to move your assets to the new pool to keep earning rewards without interruption. If you are new to Humanode Biostaking, the new pool is a chance to get started, with APRs ranging between 20% - 200%.

Here’s how you can start staking

🗺️ Roadmap

✨ The Road to Humanode ver. 1.0

For four years, we’ve been building toward a vision – a future where decentralization isn’t just about distribution, but about uniqueness and fairness. Where 1 human = 1 node = 1 vote isn’t just a tagline, but the foundation of how governance, finance, and digital identity can work.

We’ve come far. The world’s first operational one-person-one-node blockchain is live. 500K+ real humans bio-authenticated. Humanode EVM launched. Biomapper is on the verge of going cross-chain. But this is just the start.

Now, we’re taking the next leap with Humanode ver. 1.0, laying down the foundation for a truly decentralized, Sybil-resistant future.

The Four Pillars of Humanode ver. 1.0

♦️ SRGate – A universal identity for Web3

♦️ Vortex – The governance body where 1 human = 1 vote

♦️ True Decentralization – Growing from 1,500 to 10,000 nodes on the path to 1 million

♦️ Ecosystem Growth – More devs, more dApps, more adoption
