🚀🤖 Avail, a modular blockchain “data availability” solution that rivals Celestia, says it will offer incentives for validators and other operators to try to find bugs in the underlying programming, with a new testnet.

🔍🏆 The project invites validators and light client operators, called “titans protecting Avail's network,” to “test, verify, and operate to help us battle-test our codebase, improve our infrastructure, and evaluate our operational readiness.”

📱 Light clients are the key user segment for data availability solutions such as Avail and Celestia, aiming to relieve major blockchain networks such as Ethereum from the overhead that constantly receives data queries for historical transactions.

🎮🏁 Under Avail's new "gamified" incentive plan "Clash of Nodes", participants can earn rewards by completing tasks. These tasks include validating the chain consistently and accurately, helping to simulate “disaster scenarios,” writing as many blocks as possible, and staking, as Avail states.

🎉 The goal is to encourage users and developers to try to “break the network” and “test every angle” by sending large amounts of data. Share your thoughts in the comments section and let's explore this exciting project together! 🥳
