October saw Ethereum getting some love from regulators and mainstream finance. The CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) Chairman went viral on Crypto Twitter with his statement: "If Bitcoin is like email, Ethereum is like the Internet".
We wanted to show some love to Ethereum ourselves by funding a community staking contest on the ETH2 Medalla testnet. With Guild Warz, 5,000 DAI of prize money is up for grabs for those who run ETH2 validators. In addition, some UX changes were made to make for an even better experience on Etherscan.

With the imminent arrival of ETH2 Phase 0 and the switch to Proof of Stake, getting the community to experience running ETH2 validators has become all the more important.
Misplaced deposits or unsynced nodes are much better done on testnet without any risk of loss of ETH rather than on mainnet. Knowing how responsive many are to incentives, we created Guild Warz on BeaconScan.
We've been glad to see the community respond to the contest, with Rocket Pool and Stake Fish adding to the prize money and more than 300 guilds repping 30 countries joining from around the world.
If you'd like to earn while learning how to run validators on ETH2, create a guild and join us too! |
