"One Human = One Node?" - Humanode's Bold Plan to Fix Crypto Governance for the future of UBI

In this Web3Magic Builder Spotlight, I talk to Viktor, co-founder of Humanode.io, one of the most radical blockchain experiments out there: a Layer 1 secured not by stake or work, but by proof of biometric uniqueness. Yep, real humans, not capital, run this network. We go deep into: - Why proof-of-stake and proof-of-work are still plutocratic - How Humanode uses facial recognition + confidential computing to verify humanity (without storing your data) - The ethics and tech behind biometric verification - What makes Humanode different from Worldcoin, and why it actually decentralizes the validator layer - How you can run a node from your phone and earn $25/month just for being consistently human - Use cases beyond the chain: civil-resistant airdrops, Discord governance, and DeSci + gaming partnerships coming in hot We also talk distribution, community building, and how Humanode grew a 20+ person team of long-term believers. This is not just another chain. It's a bet on humans as validators of truth—and it might just change the game.
