Incentivized Testnet

Incentivized Testnet

What is Incentivized Testnet?

An incentivized testnet is a blockchain program that offers rewards to developers, users, and external validators for their use and participation in testing the network. Historically, testing Proof-of-Stake infrastructure has been the main use for incentivized testnets. Right now a lot of developers use it for the games.

Understanding of Incentivized Testnet

Testnet incentivized projects are rarely small-scale, they usually last from weeks to months, include a large amount of operational overhead, and involve active participation and education of the validator and developer communities. But even before the mainnet goes up, well-thought-out testnets may assist prepare projects for launch and bootstrap high-caliber communities.

Incentivized testnets are created after cryptocurrency reward schemes, which have been a mainstay of the market during the 2017–2018 ICO period. However, the duties assigned to incentivized testers demand some developed technical abilities, as well as the non-technical responsibilities. In addition to operating nodes and verifying transactions, they also need to manage staking pools, simulate attacks to test the stability of consensus, stake tokens, and more.
