Shardeum, a layer-1 blockchain known for its EVM compatibility and dynamic state sharding for cheap transactions, has kicked off the first stage of its incentivized testnet, Atomium. Launched on June 26th, Atomium is designed to enlist the community's help in stress-testing the network for bugs and performance issues before its official mainnet launch.
Participants might be considering broader market factors, such as how much is 1 bitcoin worth, as they decide to engage in this testing phase. Those who contribute will be rewarded with a portion of the total token supply (0.65%, or 3.3 million SHM) for their efforts. The testnet will progress through multiple stages, with Shardeum only moving forward when the network demonstrates sufficient stability.
