Hello, NodeOps Community! December was a huge month for us, full of new developments and exciting announcements to conclude the year on a high. We start with the Atlas Network Incentivized Testnet going Live!
Atlas Network Incentivized Testnet Now Live
The Atlas Network Incentivized Testnet can be accessed here. Users have a plethora of opportunities to explore, learn, and earn. The Testnet caters to everyone, with quests in place to ensure that all users have a chance to earn rewards for completing specific tasks. Quests are divided into five categories:
General – Introductory tasks like registering your email and wallet.
Communities – Spread the word about Atlas on social platforms. Tasks focus on amplifying, rating, and referring.
Deployment – Deploy nodes with ecosystem partners, such as verifier nodes with CARV or follower nodes with Movement. More deployment options are coming soon.
Registration – Register as a machine provider, vendor, or AVS operator to become a vital part of the Atlas Network.
Staking – Restake with NodeOps on EigenLayer.
To help you get started, here you can find some tutorials for some of the quests that are currently available. Additionally, once you click on some of the more complex quests on the Testnet page, step-by-step guides and tutorial videos are included to ensure a smooth experience. Simpler tasks come with concise instructions for quick completion. Once you finish a quest, you’ll receive NPs. There is also an FAQs section to help address any doubts or questions that you might have. Should you have any additional concerns, our Support Team is available 24/7 to assist you.
The Testnet is extremely intuitive and easy to navigate for anyone. On the left hand side, some of the key components in the navigation bar include:
Marketplace - This is your hub for deploying nodes, creating templates, or utilizing existing templates.
My Deployments - Track all your active deployments here. This is the cockpit for managing your nodes.
My Plans - Keep an eye on the status of all your deployments, including the number of nodes, their statuses, deployment dates, and expiry dates.
Leaderboard - See how you rank among Testnet participants based on NPs earned. Complete more quests to climb the charts and earn greater rewards.
Profile - Personal section where you can track your total number of nodes deployed, total referrals, points earned, and personal referral link.
Testnet Highlights
While our Testnet has only been live for a little more than two weeks, it has already made waves and driven significant traction. The numbers speak for themselves:
We want to thank you for your continued trust. None of this would have been possible without your unwavering support. Wave Three will introduce novel earning opportunities, including the “Restake & Earn” quest and new rewards for deploying templates.
Therefore, keep an eye out on our official channels for announcements and, in the meanwhile, keep questing, exploring, and earning.
Points Programs
December was also a key month for our Points Programs. For anyone interested, here you can find more information, including details on our tiered loyalty system, discounts available, multipliers in place, and Whitelist Availability for Wave One and Two.
Wave One Claim
The Wave One Claim for Node Points is now live and you can claim here. Wave One rewards users who have trusted us to buy, deploy, delegate, and manage their nodes. To be eligible for our Wave One $NODE Claim, you must have been an active user on our platform before the snapshot date, December 11th. Please remember that Node Points can only be claimed through the eligibility checker page and you should beware of scams.
Wave One Node Points program was a unilateral success:
11,200,000 Node Points distributed.
25,000 wallets eligible.
Airdrop Pool of 30,000,000 $NODE allocated as claims.
Wave Two Points Program
Considering the scale and magnitude of Wave One, for Wave Two we wanted to raise the bar even further. In fact, we have introduced a new Points Program, with the Atlas Incentivized Testnet at the core of it. Now users are rewarded for any and every action taken on the platform. More specifically, Testnet participants are rewarded as follows:
Points are denominated in NPs.
For every $1 spent, 0.5 NPs are earned.
Discounts are available based on NPs redeemed:
10 NPs → 5% discount
25 NPs → 10% discount
100 NPs → 15% discount
200 NPs → 20% discount
Same as Wave One, the new Points Program follows a tiered loyalty system. The four tiers, ranked from top to bottom, include: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Each tier has a multiplier that increases as you level up, maximizing rewards. Whilelist Sale Eligibility is specified per tier.
Partners Corner
December was a busy month, full of exciting new developments with some of our ecosystem partners. New announcements, node sales, and bootstrapping events stole the show, so read to on to find out more.
ICN
Impossible Cloud is revolutionizing the cloud storage industry by merging the best of Web2 and Web3 technologies into an enterprise-grade decentralized infrastructure network. With its innovative approach, the platform addresses the growing global demand for scalable, secure, and efficient cloud solutions.
Their node sale went live at the beginning of December and since then their Tier One has sold out. Sale is still ongoing and available here.
SCRIPT TV
Script TV is the first watch-to-earn live television platform, built to reward users while they watch. Instead of relying on centralized servers used by companies like YouTube and Netflix, Script TV uses blockchain technology to spread video content across a network of computers. This makes it much more secure and efficient, while simultaneously levelling the playing field for content creators.
Their Node Bootstrapping Event is still ongoing and can be accessed here. This is your chance to be part of the future of streaming.
Console Deployments
If that wasn’t enough, last month we also rolled out new deployments:
Lumoz Mainnet zkVerifier Nodes - Deploy now by clicking here.
KIP Mainnet Checker Nodes - Deploy now by clicking here.
Sophon Mainnet Light Nodes - Deploy now by clicking here.
2024 Highlights
2024 was a huge year for NodeOps. In the last 12 months, we have been able to do some incredible things and achieve some important targets. Some of the main ones include:
Introduced NodeOps Console - First ever Node-As-A-Service for one-click node deployment.
Launched NodePad - A streamlined launchpad allowing users to purchase nodes seamlessly.
Introduced Node Bootstrapping - Purchase and deploy nodes in a single flow and start earning rewards immediately.
Key stats:
Raised a $5M seed round.
Deployed 55k+ nodes.
Integrated 60+ chains.
Manage $60M+ assets.
We managed to find product-market fit in our first 12 months and are now looking to revolutionize the game with Atlas Network, designed to simplify and unify decentralized, secure, and reliable infrastructure.
Security First
NodeOps was successfully audited by Quantstamp, the leader in blockchain security. We completed two pivotal audits: Infrastructure & Validator Infrastructure Audits. Security is paramount for everything we do at NodeOps, so this is an important milestone for us and a testament to the hard work that our team has been doing.
Ending on a High Note
December was a critical month for the NodeOps team. We were hard at work to ensure that the Atlas Incentivized Testnet launch was a success and to provide the best possible experience for our users. The response has been immense and this fills us with joy, making all the hard work worth it and fueling us to push boundaries even further for Wave Three. Stay tuned as you won’t want to miss out.
We want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and couldn’t be more excited to see what this year has in store for us!
Bring on 2025, it’s time to scale.
