Rules and Guidelines for The Quest: Round 1

Below is a snippet of the rules for The Quest competition. For full rules please go to the full overview at Oasis Docs

Welcome to The Quest — a multi-round staking competition (aka incentivized testnet) run on the Oasis Network.

Below are a set of guidelines that we hope will help you prepare for the competition. These guidelines are a framework for how we’re thinking about Round 1 of the competition. We expect this to span anywhere from 1–2 months in time.

Goal of The Quest

We hope to use a staking competition to do a few things:

1. Stress test the beta version of the Oasis Network before it Mainnets and give feedback on what’s working — and what’s not.
2. Give operators a chance to test drive the network and their setups.
3. Give a diverse group of operators an opportunity to earn rewards that can be used to stake on the Oasis Network Mainnet.
4. Expand and further empower a community of data privacy advocates around the Oasis Network.

Eligibility for the Competition

We’ve received a number of questions about who can join, and we want to be as explicit as we can. We want to have as diverse and broad a community of node operators as possible. That said, citizens and residents of certain jurisdictions may not be eligible to receive rewards due to legal requirements. Your participation and eligibility to receive rewards are also subject to KYC and depending on your country of residence accredited investor verification. Before joining, be sure to read the official rules here.

How to Join

There are two basic steps to joining:

1. Set up a node on the Oasis Network today. Documentation of how to do so is here.
