Today, we are excited to announce the Bitboost Incentivized Testnet 1 will be live soon. This unparalleled event marks the beginning of a new era in the Bitcoin Ecosystem, as it showcases the innovative potential of Bitboost before its official launch.Introducing the Incentivized Testnet 1Our goal with Testnet 1 is to test the assumption that Bitboost, as a Layer 2 of Bitcoin, can form an execution environment similar to Ethereum's, with capabilities such as transferring native tokens, issuing ERC-20 or ERC-721 tokens, and creating smart contracts. Ensure that our protocol works as intended and is secure. Fundamentally, the most important goal of this testnet is to help create a fully-functional and decentralized blockchain.Ensure that our protocol works as intended and is secureMaximize participation of general users and developersFairly distribute tokens to all participantsWe want to incentivize early community members who help us build from the start.
