Shardeum has launched Stage 1 of its incentivized testnet, Atomium, on June 26, 2024, at 12 PM UTC. Participants can engage in various offchain and onchain activities to earn rewards such as XP, badges, NFTs, and $SHM airdrops. This testnet launch is a significant step towards Shardeum's mainnet launch scheduled for later this year. The project has raised $23.6 million, and 5% of $SHM tokens are allocated to airdrops. Shardeum aims to make decentralization accessible to everyone. The testnet is zero-cost.
