Calling All Validators: Announcing ZetaChain’s Incentivized Testnet on CoinList
Our mission at CoinList is to empower builders at any stage in their journey, and connect them with high quality early adopters of their products.
If you’ve been following our blog, you’ll know that incentivized testnets are a critical part of ensuring Proof-of-Stake networks are battle-tested in a decentralized manner and ready for network launch. ZetaChain is a new L1 with built-in chain-agnostic interoperability currently preparing for mainnet.
Today, we are calling all validators in our community to join ZetaChain as they initiate Phase 2 of the Athens-3 Incentivized Testnet. This is an opportunity for validators to gain early hands-on node operating experience on the ZetaChain network, and earn rewards for their contributions. Applications due to April 30th!
Rewards:
ZetaChain has allocated 4,200,000 ZETA (0.2% of total token supply) to the incentivized testnet program. Individual reward amounts will be based on the completion of specific tasks and overall validator performance. Eligible participants will be required to complete KYC verification and are subject to ZetaChain’s Terms and Conditions.
Eligibility:
ZetaChain is looking for ~150 experienced validators representing diverse geographical locations who will be considered based on the following criteria:
- Experience operating a Cosmos SDK-based Validator
- Experience developing with or testing the security of Cosmos SDK protocols and EVM-compatible smart contract layers
- DevOps and other operational experience
- Ability to fulfill hardware requirements as well as access to required APIs
Timeline:
The testnet will be four phases each lasting 1 - 3 weeks. The target Phase 2 start date is May 1st, 2023. Applications may be selected and notified by the ZetaChain team on a rolling basis as the program progresses.
About ZetaChain:
