Mission & Key Concepts
From truth = authority to truth = money, how much has changed? In the Humanode protocol, truth = human existence
๐๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ is the first crypto-biometric network where One human = One node that brings sybil resistance and innovative governance models to the crypto industry using private biometric technology.
We focus on Proof of Personhood (PoP) protocols, types of identity verification mechanisms that aim to protect digital space from identity fraud.
Current challenges
Problem
Modern PoW and PoS Sybil-resistant protocols are inherently plutocratic at the very core. Concentration of capital inevitably leads to centralization in the form of oligopolies and monopolies.
The original idea of decentralization is dead, a mere facade, behind which validator oligopolies and mining cartels own the networks and dominate the market.
Humanode's solution
Instead of relying on mining equipment or stake, Humanode conducts private biometric verification of its validators to ensure that there is only one unique living human being behind each node.
Humanode considers all humans to be equal, thus all nodes deployed are equal in terms of fee distribution, validation, and voting.
1 human = 1 node = 1 vote.
Culture
We are 18 team members, in operations and tech teams respectively, working remotely across the globe from Italy, Ukraine, Venezuela, Pakistan, Georgia, Poland, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Brazil, and Japan.
