Opside officially stated that its Pre-Alpha incentive test network will be officially launched within 2 weeks. This is a phased result achieved by Opside, and it also marks an important step for Opside towards the main network.
As a decentralized ZK-RaaS network, the Pre-Alpha test network will be an important milestone in the development process of Opside, especially this time the test network introduced the mixed consensus mechanism of PoS & PoW for the first time, that is, all nodes verify Both Validators and miners (Miners) can participate in the test, contribute their efforts and get points in return. These points will be redeemable for mainnet tokens after the Opside mainnet goes live.
In addition, Opside officially provides developers with a one-click ZKRollup Launchpad. Approved developers or projects can create their own ZK-Rollup through the Launchpad and freely deploy dAPPs on it.
Every role in the ecosystem can contribute to the Opside Pre-Alpha Testnet
1. Ordinary users
Ordinary users can experience and operate various functions after the Opside Pre-Alpha test network is launched, such as cross-chain, transfer, dApp interaction, etc. Completing certain tasks will also be rewarded with points. In order to ensure user experience, there will only be a small number of dApps available for users to test before the launch of the Opside Pre-Alpha test network. As the test continues to deepen, more dApps will be deployed on the test network in succession, and more hidden tasks will be opened.
Opside Official Discord CommunityThe latest information about the testnet will be synchronized.
2. PoS node verifier
Opside calls on all node verifiers to participate in maintaining the security and stability of the Opside network, and each node verifier plays a vital role. As a decentralized network, Opside trusts and relies on the power of verifiers to ensure the overall security and stability of the network, thereby ensuring that all transactions generated on the platform can be processed safely and efficiently. See PoS documentation for details:https://docs.opside.network/validators-pos
It is worth mentioning that the Validator that opened on May 2Pre-application activitiesMore than 6,000+ node validator applications have been received from more than 50 different countries. At present, the Validator pre-application activity is still in progress. Users who pass the application will be able to claim water and deploy setting nodes in the Opside official Discord Channel as soon as the Pre-Alpha Testnet goes online.
3. PoW miners
In addition to POS nodes, Opside also invites all miners to join the network ecology to provide computing power for transactions generated by each ZK-Rollup and generate ZKP proofs. See PoW documentation for details:https://docs.opside.network/miners-pow
In the Pre- Alpha Testnet stage, Opside will first use CPU mining for testing, and will update and launch GPU mining in the next Alpha Testnet stage. It should be noted that PoW CPU mining will not be tested publicly until about 2 weeks after the launch of the Pre-Alpha Testnet. The specific information is subject to the official announcement.
Additionally, Opside opened on May 9Pre-application campaign for PoW miners, the event is still ongoing.
4. Developers
Opside welcomes all developers to create their own ZK-Rollup and deploy dApps with one click on Opside Layer 3. As an EVM-compatible network, Opside will adopt Polygon ZKEVM in the Pre-Alpha stage, and plans to gradually support Scroll, zkSync, Taiko and other ZKEVMs in the future. This means that all decentralized applications programmed in the Solidity language can be quickly deployed and migrated at zero cost on Opside. For developer documentation, see:https://docs.opside.network/developers
In addition, for excellent dApp developers or teams, Opside officials will also reward them with a certain amount of mainnet tokens after passing the official review (Official Developer Grants）。
point system
This Pre-Alpha Testnet is the first time that Opside has officially disclosed a complete three-tier network architecture, and the test objects cover all roles in the ecosystem. All users who participate in the Pre- Alpha Testnet, no matter what role they play in the ecology, as long as they contribute to this testnet, they will be rewarded with Loyalty Points. Users can also check their real-time ranking.
All users who have obtained Loyalty Points can be exchanged for mainnet tokens after the Opside mainnet goes live.
