Photon Aurora: Incentivized Testnet Is Live

This marks our second incentivized testnet phase, where the community can engage in tasks aimed at testing the network’s capabilities. Participants can earn rewards for completing these tasks, while also providing developers with valuable insights into the network’s performance, reliability, and security.
This upgrade will solidify our upcoming testnet phases, serving as the primary testing ground for new features before transitioning to mainnet, and will be the main hub for developers to build dApps.
Join our Photon Aurora Testnet now, complete a series of tasks, and earn a share of the $PTON token airdrop, all while contributing to the scaling of a new Bitcoin economy!
