According to Odaily, Layer1's blockchain project, Initia, has announced the launch of its incentivized public testnet, Initiation-1. The testnet is set to run for a period of eight weeks. The mainnet is expected to go live later this year.
Participants in the testnet will have the opportunity to explore Omnitia, use testnet applications, join the Initia Militia, complete tasks, and collect NFT cards. These cards can be combined to summon the 'Forbidden One'. The initiative is part of Layer1's efforts to engage users and test the functionality of their blockchain before the mainnet launch.
The launch of Initiation-1 is a significant step for Layer1 and Initia, as it allows for real-world testing and user feedback. This will help the team to identify and rectify any potential issues before the mainnet goes live. The use of NFT cards and the 'Forbidden One' adds an element of gamification, which could potentially increase user engagement and participation in the testnet.
