Before getting to the core of the discussion, it is undeniable that in recent years more and more people have entered the Blockchain world, not only as traders. Yes, but also as members of Trial projects or test programs or what is often known as "TestNet". Become a member of L1 and even L2 Blockchain projects.
Why do most people choose to be testers on new projects rather than traders?
The answer is possible because in the test network we do not need to use real asset capital. Because what is needed in network testing is patience, precision and a lot of time.
Why patience? Because when we run the trial program, most of the programs do not run smoothly.
Why accuracy? Because if it is not in accordance with the instructions or orders from the Developers, we are required to repeat what has been done and it will take time and patience.
Why time? Yes, it is undeniable that testing a program will take a lot of time, not just a day or two but months or even years, which are done in stages of course.
In the testing stage or "TestNet" there are several categories:
Network testing using the method of increasing the number of transactions.
Mass network testing with nft method.
Network testing using programming language methods or often called nodes.
So what are the factors for being "Eligible" or entitled to receive a prize for completing a trial test?
When talking about factors, there are indeed many factors because each developer will have their own standards in assessing what we have done. Maybe below I will give a little description.
The first factor is the number of transactions in our wallet. If we follow a trial test program such as exchanging one asset for another. Usually the more often we make transactions, the more history will be in our wallet and that will be a plus.
Why? Because the Developers will appreciate the hard work and time we have put into the work.
The second factor is the number of assets we get or have. If you follow the trial program to print regular nft, this factor becomes an additional point because it shows our interest in what they make or do. And sometimes these assets also make us "eligible" or entitled to incentives or prizes.
An example case is in Aptos Network, one of the "Eligible" factors is minting NFT/Assets on its test network.
The third factor is the level of success when we work on the program. That will be an additional point because it shows that we have really understood what is in the program or project they made and shows that we are willing or who walk together with them (Dev and team)
Maybe the above can give you an idea when conducting the "TestNet" trial test. I apologize for any shortcomings and I hope it is useful.
#disclamer Yes, Not all when working on the Network Test "TestNet" will always give us a Prize. Because the developers like to say there is no prize but at the end it is given. But there are also those who say there is already a prize.
