Shardeum is the most announced Layer 1 blockchain where the community runs the nodes, and auto-scalability means exponential growth.

Team has been building for months and project is scaling now.

Shardeum’s incentivized testnet, Atomium, will be conducted in multiple stages over the next few weeks. Shardeum have allocated 3,296,500 tokens in total for incentivized testnet, benefitting both on-chain contributors and validators. Tasks are quick and easy, rewars system clear and transparent.

Phase 1 is closing in two days.

Each stage will have distinct objectives.

Stage 1 will introduce participants to the network through foundational activities and testing coin transfers. In Stage 2 and beyond, you will help to stress test advanced features such as the validator network and smart contract functionalities.
