As the leading public blockchain for enterprises, the VeChainThor Blockchain is set to hit a vital milestone. With the VeChainThor Blockchain expected to endure a massive amount of transactions after launch, thorough testing of the platform is of the utmost importance so the release can be smooth and secure.

Enterprises do not tolerate hiccups day one, or partial releases. They are slower and methodological with their approach and expect a consistent functionality and performance. That is why as of Mid-April, the VeChainThor Blockchain has been under internal alpha testing. This process will continue until Mid-May at which time a Public Alpha will begin.

The Public Alpha Test will consist of several reputable third party cyber security and code auditors ranging from private firms to esteemed enterprises. In addition, the VeChain Foundation would like to vet and approve 100 public testers. We also encourage our community to share this with people that you know that would conduct as harsh and brilliant cyber security and smart contract testers. We would love to work with anyone qualified for the betterment of a code base that will be widely used.

From May until early June, VeChain Foundation will be accepting applications for the Public Alpha Test of the VeChainThor Blockchain. The 100 selected participants will have a background in cybersecurity, blockchain development, enterprise software development, enterprise application testing or other suitable experience and skill sets. These participants will receive bounties for their work while working alongside the VeChain Blockchain Core team to provide critical insights on improvements.

In early June, the VeChain Foundation will open up the code base to the public and at the same time will begin the Public Beta Test in which all community members can test the blockchain and wallets. The public beta will last until the mainnet launch, which is expected to occur at the end of June, barring any additional improvements. This public beta will be the first time that VeChain Foundation will make the code base open to the public.

This process is not taken lightly, the enterprises that are pledged to use VeChainThor are entrusting a substantial portion of their business model to the performance of VeChainThor. We have tested rigorously up until this point and are ready for additional parties to take a closer eye.

From the introduction of Bitcoin as Blockchain 1.0 to the smart contracts of Ethereum as Blockchain 2.0, the VeChainThor Blockchain will be known as the next evolution of Blockchain as 3.0. The VeChain Foundation will work to become every incremental blockchain evolution and be recognized as Blockchain X. With the entrustment, acceptance, and backing of some of the worlds largest enterprises, the VeChainThor Platform is going to change the world around you with or without your knowledge of it.

Please send all resumes and contact details to bd@vechain.com, and we will respond to qualified individuals leading up to the Public Alpha Test.
