Humanode was conceived in 2017, founded by a small team of 5 people in 2020, and started 4 public tests with more than 10,000 participants starting in 2021. One person has one node, and one node represents one vote. An innovative governance model that uses biometrics to bring Sybil resistance to the cryptocurrency industry.

As a protocol layer, Humanode can prove a person's unique identity through cryptographic biometric authentication, grant permission to launch nodes, and verify transactions based on a person's identity. Humanode is an EVM-compatible Substrate chain. Let NFT projects, DAO, GameFi, Metaverse and other Dapps integrate and realize unique online identities through biometric services. Humanode's goal is to be the most distributed and democratic layer 1 public permissionless network.

The project is supported by Republic Capital, Shima Capital, Crypto.com Capital, Tribe Capital, Wintermute, Blizzard - Avalanche Ecosystem Fund, Genblock Capital, PolkaBridge Ventures, Baryon Capital, StaFi, etc., and has more and more cooperation Partners, including Avalanche, Aragon, Ink Finance, Ore Protocol, AIKON, FaceTec, Subsocial, Pokt, Supraoracles, Gitcoin, Paradigm Research, Republic Crypto, and Proof-of-Humanity.

The Humanode mainnet will launch with 100 unique validator nodes, with plans to expand to 1,000 within two weeks. With the verification of network stability and the growth of demand, the number of validators introduced to the network will increase, with the goal of reaching one million validator nodes within 4 to 5 years. Humanode aims to deliver the first fully decentralized, cryptographically biometric, Sybil-resistant layer 1 protocol by 2026.official website。
