Vortex UI/UX update

The journey continues, and so do the updates.  Although the Vortex was already fairly easy to use, we decided to take it a step further and refine the UI/UX. No matter how comprehensive the format is, if the UI makes you feel like you are at “work,” using a

Humanode Transaction Fees Are Changing - A Fee Model for a More Decentralized Humanode

We are changing transaction fees for the Humanode chain. Until now, we have kept fees at a minimum to help subsidise the network’s bootstrap phase. Now, it is time to set fees that will help pay for decentralization. All transaction fees go to human nodes and governors. The more

Humanode Website Revamped

The internet has no idea you’re human, and the things pretending to be you are getting good at it. AI agents argue in your replies, farm your airdrops, and vote in your DAOs, manufacturing activity faster than anyone can check it. Most of the internet still defends itself by

Vortex Alpha v0.2 - The UI/Design Overhaul

Agentlink launches on Base

Agentic commerce is forming on Base via x402, the emerging onchain payment standard for AI agents.

Wallets,

Agentlink: Bringing Proof of Human to the Agentic Web

Agentlink brings Proof of Human to the agentic web. And it uses Humanode under the hood. The first wave of AI agent services is about to repeat the same predictable, expensive mistake.

Community Call Recap 6

Biomapper C2 deployed on Polygon Network

It feels like just yesterday when Biomapper first went live on the very first EVM-compatible chain, where it brought uniqueness verification onchain and proved that one human = one wallet could actually work. Since then, Biomapper has expanded far beyond that first deployment, powering Sybil resistance across multiple chains and
