• You have the opportunity to be the first to experience this revolutionary product before mainnet release.

Testnet is Live!

The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived.

The highly anticipated day is here where the Proof of Neutrality (PoN) Relay dApp is now available on testnet.

As a crucial component of the Ethereum ecosystem post-merge, relays are the main method for blocks to be proposed into the Ethereum blockchain. The explosion in popularity of relays is likely to increase as more people are staking validators in hopes of MEV rewards. Learn all about relays here.

The Proof of Neutrality Relay is a protocol built entirely on smart contracts with the customer in focus. The user experience consists of a streamlined user interface allowing you to join as a Builder, Proposer, or Reporter in under 60 seconds.

Rewards are distributed to validators every 7 days. Regardless if your validator proposed a block or not, you will still be rewarded because you are joining a MEV smoothing pool. All you have to do is join.

For detailed information on the PoN Relay, visit the documentation or the website.
