# Humanode Infrastructure

<figure><img src="/files/0MctVpemSekEDQe5rjrT" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The Humanode infrastructure is built like a living system - simple at the core, but deeply interconnected. At the heart of it all is the blockchain itself, secured by 1,800 validator nodes, each run by a real, living person verified through biometrics. The cryptobiometric layer consists of Biomapper, OAuth2 Service and verifiable CVM.

Around this core, several parts work together. The Blockchain runs the logic - smart contracts, coordination, and governance. OAuth2 acts like a bridge to the outside world, letting apps like BotBasher for Discord and Telegram use verified human identity to stop bots and sybil actors. Biomapper works for on-chain and cross-chain verification and a special CVM-based robonode acts separately to verify Human nodes only.&#x20;

Biostaker adds an extra layer, allowing sybil-resistant LP staking through what we call BioDeFi.\

Exchanges and on-chain DEXs round out the network, letting capital flow in and out.

It’s a structure that grows organically - designed to stay sovereign, resist capture, and extend across the crypto stack without losing its grounding in real human beings.
