Shardeum progresses towards Mainnet launch by initiating Stage 3 of its Incentivized Testnet (ITN) called Atomium. The ITN aims to enhance network security by encouraging community participation to identify bugs and vulnerabilities before the Mainnet launch. Over 540,000 users, including 11,000 validators, have already participated in the first two stages.

Stage 3 of Shardeum’s ITN, expected to run for 3-4 weeks, offers users rewards like SHM airdrops, XP, and NFTs for stress testing on-chain activities and validator functionalities. The longer duration of this stage signifies the Testnet’s advanced maturity, achieved through active community participation that has helped stabilize the network.

Chris Chabot, Head of Developer Relations, expresses excitement for Mainnet’s imminent launch, crediting the team for their dedication in realizing every step of the roadmap. ITN Stage 3 integrates referral programs, social tasks, reward challenges, and voting games to ensure maximal community engagement. Users must complete quest tasks listed on the official testnet campaign page to earn rewards.
