bitsCrunch is currently conducting an incentivized testnet and actively inviting operators, projects, and users to participate in testing and developing the bitsCrunch protocol across various aspects, including network security, operations, performance, and user experience.

The incentivized testnet has two main objectives:

  1. Bootstrap and ensure the network’s security.
  2. Test network functionalities and gather feedback on the product.

The first round of the testnet started in May 2023, and the official launch of the mainnet is anticipated in September 2023.

bitsCrunch is now calling upon all users to join Task 3 and engage in activities on the Unleash NFTs platform. This will help evaluate the performance, stability, and scalability of the bitsCrunch network testnet API.

To reward participants for their contributions to the testnet, the bitsCrunch Network has allocated 1% of its token supply, with 46% of it being distributed among eligible participants from Round 1.
