SRGate: Your Decentralized Uniqueness Verification Pass

Humanode Core -

The Internet was supposed to be decentralized, private, and fair. Web3 was supposed to break free from the old systems, giving power back to the people. But here we are – whales dominate governance, “decentralized” platforms rely on corporate gatekeepers to function, and scammers still run rampant.

That’s not the future we signed up for.

At Humanode, we started building because we believe in something different – a World where identity is decentralized, privacy is protected, and every human has an equal voice. No billion-dollar validators. No whales manipulating decision-making. No bots farming rewards meant for real people.

We envision a world where:

  • You prove you’re a unique human – without handing over personal data.
  • You don’t need to verify your uniqueness over and over – one-time proof works across the internet.
  • Your identity belongs to you, not a company, government, or centralized registry.

To turn it into a reality, we laid out the roadmap for Humanode 1.0 – the next stage in building a Sybil-resistant, decentralized ecosystem.

And at the core of it, SRGate will provide the infrastructure to ensure uniqueness, privacy, and security across every application that integrates it.

SRGate is a decentralized uniqueness verification layer that will allow users to verify their uniqueness once and use that proof across any app on any chain. Instead of verifying separately for every platform, SRGate will act as a universal pass that confirms a person’s uniqueness without revealing their identity or personal data.

It is designed to solve a core problem in Web3 and even in Web2 - how to ensure that each participant is a real, unique human without relying on centralized verification methods like KYC. It will give users control over their own identity, allowing them to decide where and how they authenticate while keeping their biometric data secure and private. Consider it like your own decentralized account, just like a Google account which can be used to verify uniqueness and sign in anywhere you need.

It is a key part of Humanode 1.0, our roadmap for scaling Humanode’s decentralized ecosystem and Sybil-resistance solutions. Before we can bring SRGate to life, the groundwork needs to be laid - starting with Biomapper, cross-chain deployment, and developer adoption.

The path is clear, and the journey has already begun.

In this article, we’ll talk about our roadmap to the SRGate. What we have done so far and how we envision it.

SRGate is the goal, but before we can get there, the foundation needs to be strong. It needs infrastructure, adoption, and technical groundwork to ensure uniqueness verification is trustless, private, and scalable.

Building the Foundation

The journey toward SRGate started with Biomapper – Humanode’s first step toward bringing Sybil resistance to the Web without centralized control or requiring personal identification information.

For users to be safely authenticated, Web3 needed a way to verify human uniqueness without relying on government-issued IDs, storing personal data, or trusting a central authority. This is where Biomapper was introduced.

Instead of traditional verification methods, Biomapper links one human to one EVM wallet through private biometric verification. This ensures that each person can only create one biomapped wallet while remaining anonymous and securing privacy.

Unlike centralized identity solutions, Biomapper does not store or expose biometric data. Instead, authentication happens in a Verifiable Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM), where the information is verified and converted into a biotoken that serves as proof of uniqueness.

This was the first step toward a decentralized, privacy-preserving identity layer – one that allows users to verify uniqueness without handing over personal information.

Expanding Beyond the Humanode Chain

Biomapper provided a way to link one human to one wallet without storing personal data, but its impact would be limited if it only functioned on the Humanode chain. For a truly decentralized uniqueness verification system, it needed to work across multiple blockchains.

Most dApps today operate on different chains, each with its governance, economies, and ecosystems. If uniqueness verification was locked to a single network, it would force projects to either limit their user base or rely on centralized identity solutions like KYC. 

To move toward SRGate, Humanode needed to ensure that Sybil-resistant verification could work across all EVM-compatible chains.

To achieve this, Humanode enabled Biomapper’s compatibility with EVM-based chains, allowing dApps and protocols across multiple ecosystems to integrate biometric uniqueness verification without modifying their infrastructure.

The first major milestone was deploying Biomapper on Avalanche C-Chain, making it the first non-Humanode chain to integrate private biometric uniqueness verification. This deployment allowed Avalanche developers to verify users as unique without collecting personal data, opening the door for Sybil-resistant airdrops, fair governance, and bot-free economies.

But this was just the beginning. The plan is to expand Biomapper across all major EVM-compatible chains, ensuring that developers and users everywhere can access decentralized uniqueness verification without being confined to a single ecosystem.

More deployments are already underway (you will keep getting them), with integrations on additional chains planned throughout the year. As each new chain gains access to Biomapper, we move closer to a fully cross-chain uniqueness verification layer, laying the groundwork for SRGate.

Laying the Groundwork for SRGate

Biomapper allows individual dApps to verify uniqueness, but SRGate aims to take it further by acting as a unified identity layer once fully developed. Instead of users verifying their uniqueness separately for each application, SRGate will provide a single verification pass that works across multiple dApps and chains.

The progress made with Biomapper and cross-chain deployments is bringing us closer to that goal. Once Biomapper is deployed across multiple chains, the next step will be to enable persistent, decentralized identity recognition – a framework where a user can verify their uniqueness once and have that proof recognized across any dApp that integrates SRGate.

This is where Humanode 1.0 starts to take shape. Every step – Biomapper, cross-chain expansion, and developer adoption lead directly to SRGate, a decentralized, Sybil-resistant Web3 uniqueness verification layer.

You might wonder how Biomapper and SRGate differ. The key difference between Biomapper and SRGate is the introduction of a management UI/UX that allows users to create and manage their accounts just as they would with traditional login systems. With a familiar login/password-based interface, users will be able to:

  • Create their SRGate account.
  • Choose which services and dApps their identity is bound to.
  • Use one-click sign-ups and logins, similar to logging in with Google, but without compromising privacy or decentralization.

Why SRGate Matters for Web3

The foundation has been laid with Biomapper and its cross-chain expansion. But why does SRGate matter? Why should Web3 care about a decentralized uniqueness verification layer?

At its core, SRGate is about solving one of the biggest weaknesses in Web3 – uniqueness verification.

Right now, most Web3 applications struggle with a fundamental problem: they have no reliable way to verify uniqueness or distinguish between real humans and bots, which leads to:

  • Sybil attacks in governance – A few actors controlling the majority of votes.
  • Airdrop farming – Fake accounts collecting rewards meant for real users which leads to no user adoption in the long run.
  • Bot-driven trading and speculation – Distorting token economies and NFT markets.
  • Exploit-prone reward systems – Draining incentive pools that were supposed to drive real adoption.

The response from many projects has been to fall back on Web2 solutions – KYC verification, email sign-ups, and centralized databases. But that contradicts the entire premise of decentralization.

SRGate is designed to solve these problems without compromising privacy, decentralization, or user control.

How SRGate Will Change Web3

When SRGate is deployed, it will enable:

  • One-time verification, universal access – Users verify their uniqueness once and can use that proof across any dApp, DAO, or ecosystem that integrates SRGate. No more re-verifying for every platform.
  • Bot-free governance and voting – DAOs can ensure that each participant is a real person, making votes fair and resistant to Sybil attacks.
  • Fairer airdrops and incentives – Projects can distribute tokens only to real people, preventing bots from exploiting reward systems.
  • Sybil-resistant DeFi and GameFi – Lending, staking, and play-to-earn models can operate in an environment where every account is tied to a unique human without revealing personal information.
  • A trustless, cross-chain uniqueness verification layer – Instead of siloed verification systems, SRGate will allow users to carry their proof of uniqueness across chains and dApps without ever handing over personal data.

With Biomapper expanding across chains, the next step is to develop SRGate into a fully functional, scalable uniqueness verification layer for Web3. The pieces are coming together, and the road to a decentralized, Sybil-resistant uniqueness verification pass is taking shape. Although SRGate is still on the horizon, every step – from Biomapper’s growth to cross-chain verification – is bringing us closer to a Web3 where trust isn’t based on wealth or authority, but on verifiable human uniqueness.

The path is clear, and the journey is well underway.
