Nabla Finance's Testnet Alpha was a huge success, thanks to all the participants, supporting partners, and guardians.
13k+ Nablans participated in the Sybil-protected testnet. This was more than double our expectations.

3 Million $AMBER points were allocated as a reward, including the 1 Million reserved for the Pythians over a 4-week testnet campaign.

The campaign setup was first come, first serve for Weeks 1 & 2, and raffle for the Week 3 & 4.

As the name suggests (alpha), the product was imperfect due to some contract or indexer issues, especially in the campaign's first two weeks. We allowed the participants from Week 1 to continue their unfinished tasks in Week 2. The same applied to weeks 3 and 4.

However, we needed to redeploy all the contracts except the test token contracts to fix some critical issues. This meant that Week 3 started with a pool reset. This was not a problem as the campaign setups of the first two weeks(FCFS) and the last two (raffle) were different.

Changes to campaign setup

Out of 13k participants, ONLY ~500 completed all the required tasks. Firstly, it will be unfair to reward only 500 users. Secondly, neither FCFS nor the raffle appeared to be a suitable setup to reward the majority of the participants.

We decided to reward more users, not only those who completed all tasks. How could we reward as many test users as possible?

As we decided to reward more Nablans, we needed to increase the total reward amount.

How are rewards calculated?

Tasks are graded by points as follows

1. Do at least 3 swaps: 100 $AMBER

2. Add liquidity to 3 Swap pools(SP): 150 $AMBER

3. Withdraw liquidity from SPs: 150 $AMBER

4. Add liquidity to the Backstop Pool(BSP): 150 $AMBER

5. Withdraw liquidity from BSP: 150 $AMBER

6. Redeem SP LP shares via BSP: 250 $AMBER

7. Withdraw BSP liquidity via excess SP: 250 $AMBER

8. Swap into a depleted pool (bonus task): 100 $AMBER

We've declared tasks 1-7 required, and 8th is the bonus task.

We applied below limitation:

For Weeks 1-2: The user must get at least 400 points out of 1200.

For Weeks 3-4: The user must get at least 550 points out of 1200.

Please remember under the standard campaign terms "all tasks" were required. So we are loosening the requirements in favor of the majority.

We applied these rules and calculated the rewards of the eligible users.

You can check the testnet rewards by searching your wallet: Testnet Results.

8056 testnet participants out of 13123 appeared to be eligible for rewards. This is ~61%, literally "the majority," as we intended.

The list does not include the Feedback Bounty rewards. 33 users are eligible for the feedback bounty reward of 500 $AMBER each. You can check here.
