As we start coding the Humanode DAO (Vortex), we’re opening Proto-Vortex: a trial run of governance before Vortex goes fully on-chain.

Remember when X, ChatGPT, Discord, Shopify and almost 1/4th of the web went down last month… all at once? That was architectural issue at core level of internet.

This piece digs into why centralized servers are a hidden risk to a free internet, and what real decentralization actually demands.
Opinion Piece: The pitfall of centralized servers
For a few hours in November 2025, the internet reminded everyone how fragile it really is. X stopped loading. ChatGPT returned errors. Discord went quiet. Shopify checkouts stalled. Internal business...

We’ve been watching decentralization grow in strange ways these past few years.

Lots of new networks, lots of new layers, but not a lot of new people running them. And the gap shows.

So we wrote something about it.
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 m...

Crypto industry spent a decade fighting TradFi.
Then we invited it in, called it “institutional adoption,” and handed it the steering wheel. Nobody asks what it did to the foundations of crypto.

If the old gatekeepers now own the rails, then what exactly is decentralized?
The revolution that sold its soul
When crypto first appeared, it carried the energy of a rebellion. People were tired of banks calling the shots, tired of Wall Street gambling with their savings, and tired of central banks deciding wh...

Fireside this Thursday 🔥

This week, we’re sitting down with Graham, co-founder of TLDR Global, early builder at Republic, and the self-proclaimed Blood Mage at MetaCartel Ventures.

About the proto-Vortex voting session 2 that just ended:

One proposal passed! Hooray, and congrats to gwumex, who proposed a project for a Non‑Custodial Inheritance Watcher.

There were many intriguing proposals this round, and there was much to learn from throughout the process.

Just a heads up for everyone staking in the WeHMND/USDC pool.

The current LP contract closes today, December 1st, 2025 at block 15705390. And right as that block hits, the new LP pool opens on the new contract:

Just dropped a fun speculative piece told from the perspective of a human voter in 2035. It explores what happens when AI joins governance and why we eventually had to return to one human = one vote.

Read here: blog.humanode.io/voting-in-20...
Voting in 2035 - A human's account
This is just a fun look at how governance might work in 2035, written as if I’m living through it and cracking jokes while AI agents campaign harder than humans ever did. Let me share my experience f...

Maybe it’s time to stop guessing how many real people are using your product and actually know. Biomapper lets every account prove there’s a living human behind it, without giving away identity, raw biometrics, or personal data. One scan, one human, one account.
Sybil-resistance at your fingertips.  The Biomapper option
With the need and desire for privacy and security growing with each and every passing moment, and the financial hurdles and loss in user experience that bots and Sybils generate, perhaps it is time fo...

We just published “From Parliaments to Protocols – Why Power Keeps Drifting Upward.”

It looks at why real-world democracies and crypto governance keep ending up with the same problem: low participation, concentrated influence, and power settling into the hands of a few.

New piece is live, and it asks a question most people avoid.

“Proof of Life, Proof of Death: Cryptographic Immortality and the End of the Human Validator” by Sasha Shilina.

If blockchains rely on the living, they also have to deal with the dead.

Biomapper now on Ethereum and BNB chain

This past half a year or so, Humanode has focused on spreading Biomapper to various chains, providing developers the ability to create Sybil-resistant dApps or projects utilizing the Humanode Biomapper on the chain they work with.

Everyone says decentralization. But look closer and you see same wallets eating all the fees, rewards.

More transactions, more activity, more money but for the same group.

Fireside in 2 hours!

We’re going live with Lonis, VP of Growth at Próspera, for a conversation on how governance evolves as network states grow from early coordination to complex systems.

Biomapper is now live on Somnia

Somnia gives builders the canvas to create connected worlds and digital communities.

Biomapper makes sure those worlds are actually filled with real humans, instead of bots pretending to play along.

More activity → more fees → more human validators → more decentralization.
A simple loop with big implications for how a blockchain should work.

What fees on Humanode mean for human nodes?
Whenever we send a transaction on a chain, we pay a fee. Most people accept that as a small cost of using the technology. But if we stop and ask where those fees actually go, the answer tells us who t...

AI agents are starting to blend into the web. They post, trade, bridge funds, join communities, and look just like us. The question is shifting from “what’s real?” to “who’s actually there?”

That is why we started this series: Anti-Sybil Approaches.
Exploring Anti-Sybil Approaches: Humanity Protocol
AI generated content is everywhere. It fills timelines, writes comments, and even runs accounts that look convincingly human. As AI agents start posting, trading, and joining communities, the internet...

While markets shift and trends fade, Biostaking remains one of the Humanode network’s steady systems; fair, Sybil-resistant at its core.

Formation is one of the core parts of the Vortex.

It’s a system for building, funding, and collaborating. Open to every bioauthorized human node.
