The Human Problem in Decentralization: One Person, One Node with Humanode
🎙️ Guest: Victor Vernissage, Co-founder of Humanode
🕒 Duration: ~42 minutes
Episode Overview
Blockchains promise decentralization, but when consensus is controlled by the biggest stakers, is that really true?
In this episode, Lindsey McConaghy dives in with Humanode co-founder Victor Vernissage to explore a new model: one human, one node, one vote. Instead of staking tokens, Humanode ties consensus to biometric uniqueness, so governance isn’t captured by a handful of whales, mining pools, or (soon enough) AI bots.
They get into:
• Why token-weighted networks drift toward centralization
• How Humanode verifies uniqueness without storing personal data
• Where biometrics struggle (identical twins!) and how to solve it
• Real-world use cases: Sybil-resistant airdrops, Discord Linked Roles, gaming rewards
• What a future of truly human-run DAOs could unlock
If you’re curious about the human side of decentralization, this one’s for you.
