Shardeum, the autoscaling layer-1 blockchain ecosystem, is making significant progress towards its Mainnet launch. The announcement of Stage 3 of its Incentivized Testnet (ITN), Atomium, marks a crucial step in the network's development. This stage aims to encourage community engagement and testing to identify and rectify any bugs, vulnerabilities, and performance issues before the Mainnet goes live.
The previous stages of ITN saw impressive participation numbers, with over 540,000 users and 11,000+ validators conducting more than 5 million transactions. Stage 3, which is expected to run for 3 to 4 weeks, will also include a bug bounty program to further enhance the network's stability and security.
Chris Chabot, Head of Developer Relations at Shardeum, expressed excitement about reaching this milestone and emphasized the dedication of the team to bring the roadmap to fruition. The community's involvement has been instrumental in fine-tuning the network for a successful Mainnet launch.
ITN Stage 3 offers users the opportunity to earn rewards through various activities, including SHM airdrops, XP, NFTs, and more. The quest campaign will focus on stress testing different on-chain activities and validator functionalities to ensure the network's robustness.
For more information on how to participate in ITN Stage 3 and details on the operation, users can visit Shardeum's official blog. The campaign includes referral programs, social tasks, rewards challenges, and interactive games to maximize community engagement.
Shardeum is an autoscaling EVM-based layer-1 blockchain that utilizes dynamic state sharding to keep gas fees low and TPS high. The consensus mechanism at the transaction level reduces the computational power required for validator nodes, enabling greater decentralization.
