Regular biometric servers & CVM rotations are scheduled in 24 hours

Hey human nodes, biomapped individuals, and verified humans,

We’ve got an important heads-up for you. There’s a scheduled reset coming up for the biometric servers that power the Humanode chain, Biomapper, and BotBasher.

From Thursday, October 8th, 2025, to Friday, October 9th, 2025, we will be performing a scheduled reset to upgrade the CVMs and biometric servers.

For node runners, this means you will need to go through the bioauthentication enrollment process once more to ensure your node continues to operate smoothly. We’ll make a short announcement right after the reset so that you can re-enroll and re-authenticate within the same epoch and avoid any interruption. (No need to change or rotate keys; just re-enroll and re-authenticate.)

For those involved in LP Staking or who have bridged their biomap cross-chain, you’ll need to biomap again to re-link your EVM address.

For users verified as unique humans in Discord and Telegram chats, you’ll need to reverify and regain your role. Likewise, server admins using BotBasher for Sybil resistance will need to recreate the assigned role. We’ll share step-by-step instructions for this separately.

Please note that the updates to all the servers will not occur simultaneously. We will make announcements for each one individually to help everyone stay in sync.

To stay informed, please keep an eye on the following Discord channels in Humanode Official Discord: #chain-ops, #botbasher-for-discord-ops, #botbasher-for-telegram-ops, and #biomapper-ops. These will have the latest updates and notices. Once the reset is complete, we’ll make a clear announcement so you can begin re-enrollment right away.

Now, there’s no cause for alarm; this is a routine reset, done roughly every six months. During this time, we clear old biometric data and refresh and update our systems. As long as you re-enroll and re-authenticate within one to two hours after the reset (and do not change your Substrate address), your validator status and node longevity will remain intact.

And, on a positive note, this reset presents an opportunity: If you’ve lost your keys, wish to change your Substrate address, want to connect a new Discord or Telegram account, or link a new EVM address, this is the ideal time to do so.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue improving the Humanode network.

Warm regards,

Humanode Core
