Validator Community Notice: In order to increase transparency and help us monitor Testnet activities, we are requesting that all Validators link their on-chain identity to their Discord IDs. Check the FAQ in the announcement doc for more instructions.
Updated Rewards
Having listened to your community feedback surrounding Testnet rewards, we’ve re-assessed the rewards structure to ensure that more of you can join the Testnet and that rewards can be distributed as fairly as possible!
As a sign of our appreciation, we’ve doubled the overall prize pool for both Nominators and Validators, with up to 400k $CTC now up for grabs 
Let’s dive in 
Nominator Rewards
If you’ve already received your Nominator tokens, then you have successfully applied to ‘Wave 1’. If you made it into Wave 1 then you cannot apply to Wave 2.
Wave 1 Rewards: The first 1,000 active Nominators in Wave 1 will still receive up to 100 mainnet CTC tokens each. To claim your prize, you’ll have to fill out a simple form at the end of the Testnet.
Wave 2 Rewards: We will re-open a second wave of applications with Season 2 including various qualifiers. Nominators who apply in Season 2 will share a prize pool of 100,000 CTC, split equally between ALL active Wave 2 participants.
How to apply to Wave 2: Head to the linked announcement for more information. Please remember that you can only apply to Wave 2 if you have not already received any Testnet tokens.
Validator Rewards
Our original reward structure did not fairly incentivize the recruitment of more Validators or distribute rewards fairly based on Validator activities throughout the testnet. Thank you to our Credit Penguins for providing this feedback - super helpful 
Reward 1: We wanted to make sure we honoured our initial commitment. That means, we’re still giving away up to 100k in CTC to the top 50 active Validators, determined by the final Testnet snapshot. But, we’ve now got another reward worth 100k planned too…
New Reward 2: To reward all Active Validators throughout the Testnet, we’ll be splitting a pot of 100,000 mainnet CTC between each Validator according to their Testnet activity, enabling more of you to set up nodes and earn rewards!
We hope you like the updated Reward guidelines. Please consult the official Testnet Update Announcement for more information.
