# A Guide to Nibiru’s Third Incentivized Testnet By [Airdrop Heroes](https://paragraph.com/@airdropheroes) · 2023-06-20 --- What is Nibiru? Nibiru is a standalone blockchain powered by Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus. It operates as an open-source platform and is part of the larger Cosmos ecosystem, which consists of interconnected blockchains. Nibiru offers a wide range of services, including swaps, staking, farming, perpetual contracts, and it has its own stablecoin and oracle solutions Nibiru has successfully secured $8.5 million in investments through a Seed round, with notable contributions from NGC Ventures, Tribe Capital, Republic Capital, Cosmostation, and other investors. The project has garnered significant attention on Twitter, attracting influencers and developers from the Cosmos ecosystem who are following its progress closely. Nibiru introduced its testnet in late February, and it has been rolled out in multiple phases. The earlier phases were launched in late February and early April respectively, followed by the introduction of the third phase a few weeks ago. **Set Up Your Wallet** To get started, the first step is to download the Keplr wallet.
