Atlas Network is thrilled to announce the launch of its Incentivized Testnet—a major milestone in our journey to reshape DePIN orchestration. Wave Two Points Program is here.
The transition from our Alphanet to the Incentivized Testnet is more than just a technical upgrade. It’s a collaborative effort to lay the foundation for the future of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN). Together, we aim to build a verifiable, decentralized orchestration layer that unites protocols, node operators, compute providers, and restaking operators under one unified marketplace.
Why Participate?
The Incentivized Testnet is your chance to actively contribute to the future of decentralized coordination while earning rewards for your efforts. Here's what you'll gain by participating:
Early Access: Be among the first to experience and shape the next evolution in deployments and decentralized infrastructure.
Impact: Contribute to the development of a first-of-its-kind decentralized and verifiable SaaS for DePIN orchestration.
Rewards Galore: Earn NPs by signing up and completing other quests, with potential future airdrops for active participants.
Atlas Network: What You Need to Know
Key Features:
Quest Campaign: Start your journey here! Interact with various quests, track your progress, and climb the leaderboard to earn NPs. Compete with other participants to showcase your contributions to the network.
Marketplace: The Marketplace is where Node Operators (our end users) can deploy a node, create templates, or deploy existing templates. Templates are pre-configured setups that developers can build and deploy using the Marketplace. Whether you're a developer or a node operator, the Marketplace provides everything you need to start building.
Provider Dashboard: Add and manage your machines, track their health and utilization, and claim rewards through a dedicated dashboard designed for providers.
Explorer: Get a bird’s-eye view of the Atlas Network. Explore statistics, deployments, and machines with detailed insights into their performance.
How to Get Started
Participating in the Incentivized Testnet is simple:
Compute Providers: Register your machines, onboard to the network, and start contributing.
Restaking Operators: Secure the network through staking and supporting the Atlas AVS.
Node Operators: Deploy nodes and templates, then monitor them in real-time to see Atlas in action.
General Quests: Sign up, complete Community quests, and spread the word about Atlas Network through referrals to maximize your rewards and climb the leaderboard.
Each participant will find step-by-step guides in the Marketplace to help them get started and make the most of their contributions.
What’s Next?
As Atlas Network continues to grow, we’re excited to roll out additional features to enhance the user experience and expand the network’s capabilities:
Unique Templates: We are eager to see the developer community's creativity in action on the Marketplace. Deploying any node, such as RPC, miner, AI, validator, or more, or a pre-configured solution, such as an AI agent or a blogging website, involves creating a template. We are excited to see the unique and interesting templates that the community will create, and we look forward to expanding the use cases for templates in the future.
SLA Monitoring: The team is working diligently with a third-party vendor to enable monitoring of service level agreements (SLA) for providers. The goal is to empower providers with a real-time SLA dashboard, a tool that will keep them informed about the status of their machines.
NodeScore: In the future, providers will be able to compare the performance of their machines with others. This will be made possible by a new metric called NodeScore. NodeScore will be a composite score of a machine based on its uptime and technical specifications. It will enable providers to clearly understand the aggregated computing power of every machine they onboard.
$NODE staking: $NODE holders can support their preferred providers by staking $NODE with them. Staking of $NODE tokens will help providers expand their infrastructure network, and stakers will benefit by getting staking rewards.
Restake and Earn Campaigns: Existing $NODE stakers will also have additional opportunities to get further rewarded by participating in novel restake and earn campaigns.
Telegram Alerts: Expanding beyond email, providers and operators will soon receive alerts via Telegram for faster updates.
Marketplace Expansion - On day one we are going live with CARV and Movement. Soon, users will be able to deploy and delegate nodes with many other ecosystem partners. We have many surprises in store and cannot wait to tell you more.
Benefits of Participation
User-friendly interfaces: Easy-to-use user interfaces for node operators, developers, and providers to onboard and explore.
Orchestration-in-action: Witness seamless integration between different stakeholders under a single coordination layer.
Rewards: Earn unlimited NODE Points and additional rewards through various quests.
Wave One Node Points program concluded on December, 11th as the snapshot date. It was a unilateral success and the numbers speak for themselves:
11,400,000 Node distributed until 11th December, 2024.
25,000 wallets eligible.
Airdrop Pool of 30,000,000 $NODE allocated as claims.
Conclusion
Community engagement, testing, and incentivization are critical components in developing the world's first unified marketplace for DePIN. Our Incentivised Testnet rewards all participants for their contributions to the network. We look forward to your participation as we work together to make Web3 more decentralized, secure, and reliable.
Happy questing.
