What is it about?
Humanode is a novel Blockchain algorithm that ensures that each network node is actually run by a true, physical, verifiable human being. Humanode is a network safeguarded by cryptographically secure bio-authorized nodes on which users are able to deploy nodes by staking their encrypted biometric data.

Why is it important?
The Humanode mechanism allows to prevent Sybil attacks on applications and creates a fair and equalitarian economy, not tainted by the plutocracy that proof-of-Stake & Proof-of-Work mechanisms give rise to.
Perspectives
We worked hard on this paper and then gave life to it! Join us and become a Humanode by downloading the Humanode software and running a node!
