BlockPI Incentivized Testnet #1
Since the introduction of BlockPI was published, we have received lots of positive feedback and been asked about how to join BlockPI. Here it is. We are excited to announce that the BlockPI incentivized testnet is ready for launch! This incentivized testnet will track the participation of members going forward in leaderboard points that can be earned through various categories well-designed for each role.
The network structure
Major roles in our decentralized network architecture include User, Gateway, HyperNode, Hub, Validator and Fisherman.
In phase one, User and HyperNode are open to join. The Gateway and Validator will be open to participate in the future.
Why Klaytn?
Klaytn is the very first public chain that BlockPI has integrated with. We will also launch our incentivized testnet on Klaytn.
Klaytn is an EVM compatible Layer1 public chain that was first created by Korean tech giant Kakao in 2019. Since 2022, Klaytn 2.0 has been launched with a focus on metaverse, gamefi and creator economy. And Klaytn is now undergoing global business expansion from its international base in Singapore. These business expansion activities are supported by the Klaytn Growth Fund, which aims to grow the ecosystem of companies built on Klaytn.
As an EVM compatible chain, Klaytn is a good choice as the start of BlockPI’s multichain journey. BlockPI shares the consistent aspiration of global expansion with Klaytn. Meanwhile, BlockPI is honored to be supported by the Klaytn Foundation to build a strong infrastructure for the ecosystem.
Wen?
BlockPI incentivized testnet will launch on June 20, 2022. Phase one will run for approximately 3 months.
The timeline may be updated according to the progress and more events are coming, so make sure you join our Discord and follow us on Medium and Twitter for updates and announcements.
Who can participate and how to join?
Node operators
Welcome all the operators with an interest in running node infrastructure to join BlockPI network as HyperNode, and help us to achieve higher concurrency and lower latency.
Participants need to run the BlockPI HyperNode application with the Klaytn Endpoint Node (full node). It processes requests routed by distributed Gateways and returns responses to the user. Participants will need to complete a series of tasks of different complexity and difficulty. The incentives will be distributed to eligible participants according to the complexity.
If you’re interested in participating in BlockPI testnet, please fill out the Application Form and join our Discord. Limited seats are available. The BlockPI team will be in touch to notify if you are approved and share specific next steps shortly. Only the authenticated node operators will be recorded and receive rewards. We will hold node onboarding conference calls, welcome to join and get more information.
Deadline of HyperNode registration is June 22, 2022, 23:59(UTC+0). More node tasks and activities are coming soon, so stay tuned!
