We really thought that another update of biometric tech would take us a lot of time, but devs shipped 10x faster than expected!
So yeah, every human node has to 1) update the peer to the latest version, 2) enroll and 3) bioauth again.
BotBasher and Biomapper biometric resets will be announced later.
Hey humans, your BotBasher badge called. It wants a refresh.
Discord BotBasher is now on Gen. 9, and Telegram has received a fresh update too!
That means it's time for users to redo their face scans and server admins to make sure their communities are running on the latest generation.
Same private and secure 15-second scan, with more bots getting bashed.
We've put together a quick refresher for admins and users on both platforms.

99% of DAOs are theatre. Most of them existed so lawyers could tell the SEC the project was decentralized.
Now this pressure is gone. Tally ran voting for 500 DAOs, then announced it would shut down, and its CEO said decentralization "becomes optional". ENS moved power to its foundation, Across folded its DAO into a company, Balancer voted to wind down. Most new projects launch without one.
In the DAOs left, about 6% of tokens vote at all, and the top tenth of voters hold three quarters of those votes.
In a typical DAO one address writes over 80% of the proposals, and three addresses write almost all of them.
We're building Humanode to be decentralized and antifragile. One human, one vote, checked by private biometrics and contribution.
Vortex is where the next era of decentralization starts.
The Humanode Community Call is happening today! And it’s starting in 1.5 hours.
As always, you can jump on stage, ask the founders questions, and share feedback.

As part of our regular server reset, the CVMs behind Humanode chain, has been refreshed.
Biomapper and BotBasher are scheduled for tomorrow.
These resets are done to wipe previously stored biometric-linked data, refresh the system, and start with updated infrastructure and security.
They also give everyone a fresh chance to re-link the right account or address where needed.
Reminder: If you have not done it yet, please complete the new cycle:
today right now:
• Enroll Re-authenticate your human node
tomorrow:
• Biomap on Biomapper
• Re-verify on BotBasher
Decentralization is not dead. Egalitarian financial system is inevitable. 1 human = 1 node = 1 vote!
You ask an AI agent to reduce your cloud costs. It delegates the task to another agent, which deletes an important archive.
Who authorized the deletion?
As AI agents begin making decisions, spending money, and delegating tasks to other agents, the question of responsibility becomes harder to answer.
Tracing which agent performed an action is one thing. Tracing who gave it authority, what limits applied, and whether those limits survived delegation is another.
In her latest article, @sshshln explores this growing problem.
If an AI agent exceeds its authority, who should be held responsible: the agent's operator, its developer, or the person who gave the original instruction?

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 logical but “worklike” and “serious” tool, it is hard to retain those with a more intuitive and creative heart.
So, to revitalize the “work hard” but “play hard” spirit, our team tweaked the interface a bit to make our tool that helps shape the future feel more like a “grand strategy console”.
Naturally, since this is no game and the Vortex will be shaping our actual future, we are also working on a few more features and tools based on feedback before we move the whole Vortex on-chain, which will be announced soon.
If you are on Vortex, go check it out and give us feedback! If you are not on Vortex yet, this is your chance to get involved!

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 human nodes and governors the network has, the more decentralized it becomes. And decentralization, the core promise of a blockchain, does not come for free.
For now, fees will be adjusted based on the HMND token price. This is another step on our path toward a cost-based fee system.

A Governor should only be judged on votes they actually had a fair chance to cast.
Vortex Dev Log #21 changes how Active Governor status is calculated:
• Governors now need to participate in one-third of their eligible Proposal Pool and chamber-vote opportunities, rounded up.
• A vote only becomes a participation requirement after the stage has been open for 24 hours. If it closes earlier, missing it does not count against the Governor.
• Authors, Formation team members, and others excluded from specific votes no longer have those impossible votes added to their required activity.
• And when a milestone or reconsideration opens a new chamber vote, it counts as a separate opportunity with its own eligible voters.
Plus, Formation teams also get a clearer application, acceptance, and membership process.

a great write up
I spent a long time on this one. Not a trend take. A working note from the last few years: @humanode_io , conversations with founders, sitting inside new AI launches, and a pile of research that finally lined up.
A few of the lines I stole in spirit from @leonabboud . The rest is what the numbers and the inboxes keep saying.

2026 is nearing it's end.... and that means HumanodeCon V is on! The 5th assembly of believers in egalitarian decentralization of crypto. Human nodes, friends and partners from the ecosystem.
This year we decided to ask you about the format!
So cast your votes! Poll in the comments👇
