Humanode 1.0 - Humanode

When decentralization stops growing, you have to look at what’s missing

If you’ve been following crypto for a while, you’ve probably noticed that things look a little uneven these days. Not bad. Not broken. Just… uneven. We get new chains and new layers popping up every month, yet the base that’s supposed to keep all of this “decentralized”

What activity on Humanode really means

In our last article, we talked about what fees mean for the people securing Humanode. This time, we look at the bigger picture: how activity itself becomes the pulse that drives validator growth, token emission, and the network’s economic life. When people talk about fees, they usually mean cost.

The Dawn of Proto-Vortex

Vortex and Specialization Chambers

When discussing governance in Vortex, there is a core principle that we must remember, aside from the principle that one person equals one node equals one vote, that is. It is the fundamental principle of Cognitocracy, and the fact that good governance comes from people who actually know what they

Why SRGate matters for anyone building online

Every business online today is playing a game it doesn’t even know it’s losing. You pay for clicks, for impressions, for new sign-ups. You hand out rewards, discounts, and loyalty points. And you build strategies on dashboards filled with neat rows of numbers. But here’s the truth

The Philosophy Behind Vortex

By now, many understand that Vortex refers to the Humanode DAO. If we were to get technical, the DAO is only one part of the Vortex in its entirety, but let's set that aside for now. We have talked about the governance tiers, and we have talked about

History of Sybil Resistance in Governance and Economy - Part II

By the mid-20th century, governments had built up a decent toolkit for keeping track of who’s who: birth certificates, fingerprints, ID cards, and population registers. But then came computers. And the internet. And suddenly, the challenge wasn’t just stopping someone from claiming two rations; it was keeping bots,

History of Sybil Resistance in Governance and Economy - Part I

For as long as humans have lived in organized groups, they've found ways to prevent one person from pretending to be many. Whether it was a tribe ensuring only real members could speak in council or a city-state distributing rations, societies had to protect their systems from impostors.

The Vortex Blueprint: Governance Tiers Explained

As Humanode advances its research and development of Vortex, the core of the Humanode DAO, it is time to revisit the governance structure in Humanode, little by little. As one person = one node = one vote, Humanode aims to become the first fully and truly democratic DAO on blockchain. This means

A Short History of Decentralized Systems - Part 2

In the first part, we’ve seen decentralization evolve from tribal councils to peer-to-peer file sharing, from Bitcoin’s trustless value transfer to Ethereum’s world computer. We’ve watched DAOs experiment with governance and IPFS decentralized storage. And we’ve seen the same issues resurface: * Consensus mechanisms rewarding capital

A Short History of Decentralized Systems - Part 1

When you think of decentralization, the first thing that probably comes to your mind is blockchain. But the truth is, decentralization isn't something as new as blockchain; it's been with us since humans first gathered around campfires. Yes, decentralization actually started way before we built the

Humanode’s Ecosystem Expansion: The Final Pillar of 1.0

If you’ve been following the journey toward Humanode 1.0, you’ve probably seen us talk about the four pillars that hold everything up. We’ve already covered three: Sybil resistance through cryptobiometrics (SRGate), governance through Vortex, and the push for true decentralization with 10,000 human nodes. Now

Vortex - Humanode governance body where 1 human = 1 vote

As one of the main pillars of Humanode ver. 1.0, we would once again like to bring attention to the Vortex and the governance model that Humanode is currently building. The concept of a decentralized autonomous organization (a DAO) can be traced back to the 1990s but was popularized

True Decentralization – Road to 10,000 human nodes

When people hear the word “decentralization,” they often think of blockchain – a system where power is distributed, no single entity controls the system, and communities make decisions collectively. But if we look closer, reality tells a different story. Even though the concept of blockchain has existed for decades, it became

SRGate: Your Decentralized Uniqueness Verification Pass

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
