As Dusk Network’s protocol evolves towards the next phase of Testnet, unique opportunities arise for those passionate (and savvy) enough to get involved in the process. The rolling Incentivized Testnet will be accompanied by a multitude of initiatives, each adding to the security of the network and opening the doors to compensation for participants but also educating the community on what is required to be a participant within the Dusk Network protocol. If you’re looking to spend your time strengthening the financial framework of the future while racking up rewards, keep reading to find out more.
The Shape of Mainnet
Rolling Incentivized Testnet is a sign of things to come; a crash test dummy version of the final mainnet. Its sole purpose is to be pushed to its absolute limits, every nook and cranny patched and rendered waterproof to prevent any unwanted behavior, incompatibilities, or openings for exploitation. This testnet is the mold that dictates the shape of our mainnet. There can be no room for errors. That’s where the incentivization comes in.
A campaign such as the one mentioned below is part of the incentives that ensures testnet is properly stress tested. It represents an invitation for all those who are technically inclined to go in and set up their first Provisioner Node on our testnet. Furthermore, it is an opportunity for long-term supporters to actively participate in the security of our testnet by running a provisioner, thereby verifying blocks as they’re created.
The activities outlined in this post will be the bedrock for the launch of our Incentivized Testnet, but they are not the end of the story! Expect more opportunities, like Learn 2 Earn campaigns, hackathons, and bug bounty programs in the later stages of the Dusk Network rolling ITN. Community Node Campaign The launch of the rolling ITN will positively impact our testing KPIs, our efficiency in disseminating upgrades to our protocol, and even the fairness of our token distribution. We believe that the introduction of incentive mechanisms consistent with our mainnet will ultimately benefit the consensus timelines and educate the community.
