On Feb 20th, 2024 CrossFi successfully launched its EVM Testnet on Coinlist. In a first for the company, we launched a three-month campaign for validators, developers, and users with over $8.4M in MPX as rewards. The campaign's objective is to test the functionality, performance and security of the CrossFi Chain network before the mainnet launch later this year.
We saw an amazing response from the community, with over 2,000 applications from validators in the first 24 hours. The total reward breakdown is as follows:
How to Get into the Top Validators
The first stage of Testnet is aimed at Validators. The goal is to create a robust and secure network by engaging validators who possess the necessary technical expertise and resources to help ensure the smooth functioning and stability of the EVM Testnet.
Currently, the maximum number of active validators in the CrossFi Chain is limited to 64. The main eligibility criteria for the Validator Grant Program is being one of the top 64 validators. The rating reflects the total MPX staking amount. Thus, validators must sustain a loyal community and attract new audiences to grow and support node TVL (total value locked). Validators’ main objective is to validate blocks for rewards in XFI. For the network, the reliability and dependability of the validators’ operations are as important as delegating MPX coins. Thus, being in the top 64 is a prerequisite to being accepted into the Grant Program.
Validator’s Criteria
The higher the metrics, the higher the chances for the validator to be on top:
