TL;DR
Dear human nodes, friends, and fellow beings! This cycle brings a fresh pulse through the network. The biometric servers have been updated and reset, the infrastructure tuned, the heartbeat stronger than ever. To stay in sync with the mainnet rhythm, every validator must re-enroll and re-authenticate. No need to rotate your keys — your identity remains the same — but re-enrollment is required to keep your node alive through the epochs. As always, privacy comes first: all previous encrypted biometric data has been permanently erased. Nothing lingers, everything renews.
The Biomapper servers followed suit, aligning with the latest CVM rotations. If you’ve biomapped before, it’s time to do it again. Especially for our LP stakers: your positions are safe and untouched, but you’ll need to Biomap once more to claim rewards. Think of it as a ritual renewal of proof-of-personhood. The old data has been wiped clean, replaced by fresh encrypted fragments of living identity.
Meanwhile, BotBasher has leveled up. Gen. 7 is now live, and Gen. 6 is history. Server admins will need to create new Gen. 7 roles, while users can hop back in and verify to regain their human badge. The guide’s ready for you on the blog, and if you’re on the Humanode Discord, go ahead and verify again — it’s quick, and it feels good to be human.
Across the wider network, Biomapper continues to spread. C2 is now deployed on Monad, bridging proof of personhood into new territory. Biomap your address and bridge to Monad if you want on-chain evidence that you’re a unique, living being, just in case you ever need to appeal a Sybil flag during an airdrop. It’s private, KYC-free, and instantaneous. And if you’re building on Monad, you can now integrate human uniqueness checks straight into your protocol. Biomapper docs and Biomapper SDK are live and waiting.
Kima Network has also joined the human layer. Their Season 2 Airdrop is now Sybil-resistant, powered by Humanode’s BotBasher. Participants simply verify on Discord, complete the process, and claim their 2,000 KIMA points. It’s another step toward keeping the Web3 economy alive, fair, and full of real people, not scripts.
Zooming out, the updated Humanode ecosystem map tells a beautiful story: our tech now anchors proof of personhood across multiple chains, tools, and communities. The human fingerprint is spreading.
Last week, the Founders went live on Humanode Radio, an open chat about where we’re headed, what’s changing, and what’s next. If you missed it, join the Discord; the next one’s coming soon, and we’d love to hear your voice in the mix.
Speaking of nexts, Catacomb Crawlers, the roguelike survival game with over a quarter million beta downloads, is preparing for launch. They’re also the first project to deploy directly on the Humanode chain, using Biomapper to secure their marketplace. As they open their hybrid funding round, we’re proud to back them as one of the first teams supported by our $10 million Ecosystem Fund. You can even try the game now on iOS and Android — it’s dangerously addictive.
Finally, a quick note about HMND token unlocks — since the charts and rumors have been flying. Tokens on Humanode don’t unlock all at once; they stream, block by block, second by second. Angel, seed, strategic, and team allocations flow continuously, not in cliffs. The only visible jumps you’ll see are the treasury and ecosystem funds — structured for long-term development, not sudden release. So rest assured: there’s no tidal wave of supply coming, just a slow, steady drip of growth.
That’s all for this round. The network hums, the humans verify, and the chain remembers only what must be remembered. Everything else — gone, refreshed, reborn.
Stay human, stay verified, stay curious.
With love and latency,
-The Humanode Team

🗺️ 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

💧Clearing the Confusion Around HMND Token Unlocks
It’s been 3 years since the launch of HMND, and we want to clear up how token unlocks actually work. Let’s start with the basics.
Here’s a quick overview of the main allocations:
• Angel and Seed – 2 years of block-by-block vesting, starting Nov 2023 and ending Nov 2025
• Strategic – 30 months of block-by-block vesting, starting Jun 2023 and ending Nov 2025
• Core team – 3 years of block-by-block vesting, starting Dec 2023 and ending Nov 2026
• Broader team – 3 years of block-by-block vesting, starting Dec 2024 and ending Nov 2027
• Market Maker – one-time at TGE (Nov 2022)
• Treasury Reserve – 4 annual unlocks, Nov 2024 through Nov 2027
• Ecosystem Fund – one-time in Dec 2025
• Testnet participants – one-time at TGE
• Mainnet validators – gradual stream from Jan 2023 through Nov 2026
In Humanode, most unlocks are linear. That means tokens don’t come out all at once.
They are released little by little, block by block, second by second, like drops of water from a tap instead of a bucket being dumped at once.
Here’s how it works:
Investor and team allocations (Angel, Seed, Strategic, Core, Broader) are not cliff unlocks. They stream out continuously, block by block, second by second, during their vesting windows.
There are no sudden cliffs where a million tokens appear in one day. Instead, the vesting contract releases small amounts at every block until the full allocation is reached.
Example: Angel round
• Allocation: about 5% of the total supply.
• Lockup: 1 year.
• Vesting: 24 months, beginning Nov 2023.
This means that from Nov 2023 until Nov 2025, tokens are unlocked gradually. If you see charts that show “~830,000 HMND” released monthly, that doesn’t mean they come in one lump on the first of the month.
It means that, averaged out, the vesting contract is releasing roughly that amount spread evenly second by second across the month.
The same applies to Seed, Strategic, Core, and Broader team allocations. Each has its own start date and duration, but the principle is the same: tokens flow steadily, not suddenly.
The visible jumps you see on charts come from a few non-vesting items that are modeled as steps:
– Market Maker (one-time at TGE),
– Ecosystem Fund (one-time in Dec-2025),
– Treasury Reserve (annual additions each Nov 2024–2027).
This brings us to the concern about an ~11% unlock in November 2025. The tranche people are pointing at is the November Ecosystem and Treasury Reserve addition (≈45M HMND, ~11% of supply).
These funds are managed by the Humanode Foundation and reserved for ecosystem growth.
It means that the funds will become available for ecosystem development. They do not immediately flow into the market, and there’s no plan to do so, especially at these prices. In fact, tokens from earlier treasury unlocks haven’t even been fully used yet.
Another point to clarify is that, if you can see in the graph, you can identify that a 90+% portion of the angel, seed, and strategic round tokens has already been unlocked, and the rest will finish by November 2025.
That means there isn’t some big investor dump waiting around the corner. People have either already sold or they are holding until they reach the moon, whereas now HMND is below the first funding round valuation.
So, remember that when you see websites showing “monthly unlocks,” it’s just because they don’t have the tools to display block-by-block vesting. They simplify it into monthly buckets.
The truth is that tokens unlock every second, except for treasury and ecosystem funds, not all at once at the end of the month.
We hope that this clarifies some of the confusion.
