Following the success of BounceBit Testnet: BounceClub East-to-West Event launched on March 8, 2024, we’re excited to announce the rollout of BounceBit Testnet Phase 2: App Store.
While the previously launched Testnet BounceClub Event will operate as usual without any changes, BounceBit Testnet Phase 2 highlights BounceBit App Store’s features and encourages developers to deploy on the BounceBit Testnet by submitting their decentralized applications (DApps) to the BounceBit App Store through GitHub pull request.
BounceBit Testnet Phase 2 mirrors the mainnet environment, offering developers, validators, full node operators, delegators, and users an early preview of the BounceBit Mainnet. This phase welcomes everyone to interact with the BounceBit PoS staking chain and the BounceClub ecosystem.
Let’s dive into what you can expect from BounceBit Testnet Phase 2!
Deploy on BounceBit Testnet
BounceBit Testnet Phase 2 offers developers the chance to get an early experience of deploying on the BounceBit chain by submitting their DApps to be listed on the BounceBit App Store. The BounceBit App Store features both in-house DApps and those developed by our community or external projects. To have your DApp listed, please submit a pull request on our GitHub repository. The BounceBit team will then review and, if approved, list your DApp on the BounceBit App Store. DApps that are listed during Testnet Phase 2 will receive priority consideration for being listed on the Mainnet App Store based on their performance.
Here’s a preview of the onboarding process for developers upon BounceBit Mainnet:
Step 1: Submit Your Application:
- Developers need to submit a Pull Request (PR) to the BounceBit App Store GitHub Repository. This should include the app’s name, description, icon, link, and the smart contract source code for the initial review.
Step 2: Get Whitelisted for Club Creation:
- Developers must provide a wallet address to be whitelisted for BounceClub creation.
Step 3: Quality Assurance and Testing:
- Each application is rigorously tested for security, functionality, and user experience to adhere to BounceBit’s standards. Developers will receive constructive feedback for any necessary refinements.
Step 4: Deploy Your Smart Contract and Integrate with The BounceClub Ecosystem:
- Smart Contract Deployment: Once your DApp submission is approved, a BounceBit contract engineer will assist with the secure deployment of your smart contract.
- Frontend Update: A BounceBit frontend engineer will update your DApp’s information on the BounceClub frontend based on the details you provided.
- Join the Community: You will be welcomed to the BounceBit developer community where you’ll complete the verification process and connect with a Community Manager (CM) for ongoing support.
- Potential Deep Integration: Further discussions regarding deep integration will be offered based on the specific needs of each DApp.
The support we’ll provide for successfully listed DApps includes:
- Marketing Support: The successfully listed DApps will be widely promoted on the BounceClub X account and all of BounceBit’s social channels. Content will include educational resources on the DApps and co-marketing efforts.
- Performance Analytics Access: Developers will have access to performance metrics and user engagement analytics to keep track of their DApps’ performance.
- User Feedback Collection: User feedback will be collected through Telegram channels, providing developers with real-time insights for app enhancements.
Stress-Testing DApps
BounceClub owners and users are invited to participate in testing all DApps that are listed on the BounceBit Testnet App Store. BounceClub owners can select and add DApps to their BounceClubs, while BounceClub users can interact with the DApps when exploring different BounceClubs.
The BounceClub community plays a crucial role in evaluating the listed DApps’ performance and security, identifying vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. This Testnet Phase 2 contributes to the resilience and reliability of the BounceBit ecosystem, striving to maintain a smooth and secure environment for all BounceBit users.
Onboarding More Validators
The BounceBit Testnet has kicked off with its first set of node operators during the BounceClub East-to-West Event. Currently, there are 24 active validators participating, with a combined staking amount totaling over 1000 $BBTC and over 283 million $BB.
For Testnet Phase 2, we aim to broaden the network by inviting more validators to participate. New validators will be guided through the onboarding process for Phase 2 via Discord.
Testing BounceBit’s Tokenomics
Phase 2 will continue the rigorous testing of BounceBit’s tokenomics, including token generation events (TGE), inflation rates, vesting schedules, gas fees, block sizes, and the validator slashing mechanism. Additionally, our native LSD module’s performance will be observed continually.
Join the Testnet Phase 2 Journey!
BounceBit Testnet Phase 2 is another crucial milestone in BounceBit’s preparation for a smooth transition to the mainnet. We warmly invite our community to engage in this significant phase. Your involvement is valuable and highly appreciated as we strive to develop and enhance a blockchain ecosystem that exemplifies the utmost in innovation, security, and user engagement.
