TL;DR As part of our efforts to establish a mature node operating system for the forthcoming BEVM Mainnet, we’re excited to announce the opening of our Testnet Validators Registration!

This initiative serves as the backbone of our mission to create a secure and efficient BEVM network, paving the road to a thriving environment both for builders and users.
Earlier on 25th, Jan, we announced BEVM Testnet Fullnode Program and reached more than 38,000 fullnodes, helping BEVM step forward to a more decentralized and secure network.
Today, we’re happy to share that our Testnet Validators Registration is now open!

Validators, as a pivotal part responsible for verifying transactions and creating new blocks through a process of consensus, enable BEVM to become an efficient and trustworthy BTC Layer2.

Each Testnet validator will be asked to go through a full process of node operating and will be potentially selected for the pool of our BEVM Mainnet validators. For Testnet Validators, you are eligible for BEVM token reward. For BEVM Mainnet Validators, they can get extra BEVM token commission based on the amount of BEVM token users staked.

Please note that the registration period concludes on February 20, 2024.

What We’re Looking For?

For Testnet Validator Registration, our main objectives include:

• Testing the full progress of Validator, including selection, withdrawal, producing blocks, slashing, etc to perfect a mature node running system to create a thriving BTClayer2.
• Making sure the staking rewards are normally distribution, and the changes of BEVM Mainnet token and BTC balance are in alignment.
• Foster a growing ecosystem for potential validator operators.

What You Can Get?

• BEVM Token Reward, the detailed amount will be announced soon.
• Potential opportunity to be Mainnet validator.
• Understand the process of BEVM governance mechanism.

Other Program

Over the past few months, we have received immense support from the community through various initiatives, such as Whitepaper NFT, OG NFT, Testnet Fullnode operation, the Helsinki program, and ambassador recruitment.

These efforts have laid the foundation for building a robust community and are instrumental in advancing BEVM towards becoming the next generation of BTC Layer2.

As the first phase of the #BEVM ecological experience activity concludes, we deeply feel the enthusiasm from community users for the Bitcoin ecosystem and the development of BEVM. During the first activity, we gained the attention and participation of over 80,000 users. We thank every user who participated in the event and provided suggestions and feedback. Your attention and support make us better.

As one of the few BTC Layer2 projects that have launched a Canary Network, BEVM’s ecosystem is flourishing. Currently, there are over 20 projects deployed on the BEVM Canary Network, including Bridges, DEXes, inscription protocols, socialFi, gameFi, and NFT marketplaces. Users can now experience a wealth of BTC-based dapps on BEVM.
Thanks to the development of the ecosystem, BEVM Canary Network has achieved great success, with 5,849,512 transactions and 77,806 asset-holding users. BEVM’s growth stems from and depends on community support. We firmly believe that success can only be achieved by standing closely with community users and listening to their feedback.
Therefore, BEVM has initiated the “Helsinki” plan, inviting more community users to explore BEVM’s ecosystem and provide valuable feedback and suggestions.

What is “Helsinki”?

On January 3, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto launched the Bitcoin network on a small server in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, and mined the genesis block.

Hence, Helsinki holds a significant place in the history of Bitcoin, symbolizing the birthplace of the Bitcoin network.

To honor Satoshi Nakamoto and commemorate the birthplace of Bitcoin, we have named the second phase of the BEVM user experience plan the Helsinki Plan! Helsinki, the birthplace of Bitcoin, is also the starting point of the cryptocurrency industry.

BEVM, as a BTC Layer2 network, carries the mission of further expanding the Bitcoin ecosystem. The Helsinki Plan will encourage more users and projects to participate in the construction of the BTC L2 ecosystem.

BEVM is also pleased to see other BTC L2 projects use the name “Helsinki” as an incentive plan for the Bitcoin L2 ecosystem, encouraging more people to participate in the construction of the BTC ecosystem. In Helsinki, participating in the construction of the Bitcoin ecosystem, everyone can be Satoshi Nakamoto.

Participation Period of the “Helsinki”

The current “Helsinki” plan will start from January 17th and last until February 17th, 2024, with a duration of one month. Click here to enter the “Helsinki” plan page and participate in the event.
