An EVM-compatible testnet, Humanode Testnet 5 Israfel uses privacy-preserving biometric Proof-of-Unique-Human to provide Sybil-resistant validation and on-chain human verification for dApps, with eHMND gas.
Humanode Testnet 5 Israfel is Humanode’s latest EVM-compatible, Substrate-based test network secured by biometric proof-of-personhood where one verified human equals one validator and one vote, using the eHMND test token. It is used to build and benchmark Sybil-resistant dApps (identity-gated access, bot-proof airdrops, quadratic voting, human-only DeFi/governance), with live performance telemetry for average gas cost, block time, TPS, and network activity available via the Humanode explorer (see humanode.io).
Israfel is unique because it replaces stake or hashpower with privacy-preserving biometric verification and egalitarian validator weight, delivering human-validated consensus and native Sybil resistance. Developers get standard EVM tooling, a faucet for eHMND, and public metrics (gas fees, block speed, TPS, usage) to compare against other EVM networks, while benefiting from one-person-one-vote governance and built-in anti-bot primitives.
Humanode Testnet 5 Israfel uses eHMND as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain eHMND by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
