Reminder: Humanode Fireside tomorrow 🔥

Dato and Victor will be going over the Humanode 2026 roadmap: what’s planned, what’s changing, and why.

If you’ve been wondering where things are headed this year or want to understand the direction more clearly, this is the time to tune in and ask.

📍 Live on Humanode socials

We’ll see you there.

We spent 2025 turning “one human = one node = one vote” from an idea into infrastructure.

This video is the overview. The blog has the full story.

UPD: Fireside will be in our Discord - Radio Channel https://discord.gg/humanode-819836895739248700?event=1461712695647670536

AI safety debates keep asking the wrong question.

Instead of:
“What should AI be allowed to do?”

Ask:
“Who is responsible when AI is used this way?”

Just published a deep dive on why anonymity breaks accountability and how we fix it without neutering AI.

Fireside Friday 🔥

This week, we’re joined by Rich Robinson, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Animoca Brands, known for building some of the most recognizable digital asset platforms in Web3, like The Sandbox, Moca Network, and Open Campus.

They’ve backed over 600 Web3 projects and helped shape what digital ownership looks like from user-owned worlds to institutional-grade assets.

Rich has spent decades building and mentoring in Asia’s startup scene, and somehow also found time for stand-up comedy, cycling across Africa, and writing children’s books.

We’ll talk about what it means to build for humans in a world of digital ownership, assets, and AI and whatever else comes up when you put Humanode and Animoca in the same room.

Dato and Victor will be hosting.

Community Call Announcement : Launch of Proto Vortex

Dear Humanode Community,

This Friday, we’re hosting a community call to begin something we’ve been working toward for a long time: the launch of Proto Vortex.

At the heart of it is the idea of the Humanode Charter: a shared foundation for what this network stands for and how it grows. We’ll be discussing the values, principles, and responsibilities that can guide Humanode as it enters its next stage.

This is a call to everyone who’s been part of this journey so far, and to those just joining in, to help shape the core of what we’re building together.

The whole Humanode team will be there, ready to share, to listen, and to work through it alongside the community.

If you are a human node (Humanode validator), this will be the opportunity to learn about how Humanode governance will be launched, and how you will play a role.

🗓️ Friday, Jan 23
🕓 2:00 PM UTC
📍 Humanode Discord

We’re looking forward to it. See you there.

Dev Log 3 is out. A lot of things got cleaned up. Some parts got simpler. Some got more solid. The way chambers, threads, and chat fit together is starting to feel more real now

This one is about refactoring and stabilizing what was built so far, not adding shiny new things.

If you’ve been following along, the latest update is here:

More soon.

We just published a community playbook for the Humanode community.

It lays out how this place is meant to work when people actually show up, bring ideas, build things, and take part in decisions. It’s meant to make it easier to see where you fit and how things move here.

Here: https://blog.humanode.io/humanode-community-playbook/

We’re also having a community call today, Jan 23 at 2:00 PM, to talk about shaping the Humanode charter. Don't forget to Join in the community call.

Community Call starts in 45 mins! 📢📢

This will be the opportunity to learn about how Humanode governance will be launched, and how you will play a role.

New WeHMND/WBTC Biostaking pool deployed 🔥

As you know, the previous WeHMND/WBTC staking pool ended on January 24, 2026. The latest WeHMND/WBTC contract (0x48B522553386dE6dc6f7577eeC2362BDbA1383D3) has been deployed, which is live from the same time in the same block as the previous one ended and will run for 6 months.

If you are staked in the previous pool:
1. You’ll need to unstake and restake your LP tokens in the latest pool.

2. Rewards for the new contract will start rolling in as soon as you stake in the new pool.

Make sure to move your assets to the new pool to keep earning rewards without interruption.

If you are new to Humanode Biostaking, the new pool is a chance to get started, with APRs ranging between 20% - 200%.
