Regular Biometric servers reset is scheduled in next 48 hours

Humanode Core -

Dear human nodes, LP stakers, and verified humans,

We have an important announcement to share with you regarding the biometrics servers on the Humanode chain and for Botbasher. There will be a scheduled reset to the biometrics servers for CVM and biometrics upgrades on Thursday, October 10th, 2024.

➡️ For node runners, this update means that you will need to go through bioauthentication enrollment to ensure that your node continues to run seamlessly.

We understand that this reset is time-sensitive, and we will make a quick announcement before the reset is initiated so that everyone is ready to re-enroll and re-authenticate within an epoch to avoid downtime in the validator status. (No, you don’t need to set/rotate keys just re-enroll and re-authenticate)

➡️For those who are participating in LP Staking, the update means that you will need to Biomap again to ensure that you can claim staking rewards.

➡️For those who got verified as unique humans in any Discord server, you will have to reverify and get the role again. Similarly, the server admins using Botbasher for Sybil resistance will have to recreate the assigned role. We will publish the instructions for that separately.

One thing to note is that updates to all three servers will not happen at the same time. 

Here’s a guideline for you to stay connected and synced on updates:

1️⃣ We will separately announce when each server is updated so that everyone remains synced.

2️⃣Keep an eye on #chain-ops and #botbasher-ops channels on the Humanode Discord server to remain updated about the progress.

3️⃣Once the reset is completed, there will be an announcement so that you can start the enrollment and authentication immediately.

Do not worry. This is a regular update scheduled every six months, during which we wipe all the biometric data stored and update our servers. So, if you are a human node, you’ll not lose the longevity of running your node as long as you don't change your substrate address and re-enroll and re-authenticate within 1 to 2 hours after the reset.

On the bright side, this is a perfect opportunity for those who lost their keys or want to change to a Substrate address to run a node on the Humanode network and for those who accidentally connected a wrong Discord account for unique human verification.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Humanode Core
