Nebulas NOVA DIP Data Recap — Week 8: Nebulas NOVA is coming soon. Just come test and get NAS! Nebulas Follow Mar 19, 2019 · 2 min read

The testnet Developer Incentive Program is nearing its completion marking the release of the Nebulas NOVA mainnet debut. If you are a developer, be sure to participate in the program and be ready for the mainnet launch.

Wow, what a week for the competition. It’s great to see community developers working hard for the top position and their part of the weekly reward.

This weeks top placed address is no newcomer to the top positions. With three weeks in first place and 4 weeks in second place, this developer is learning fast how to improve their Nebulas Rank to receive part of the Developer Incentive Protocol reward. We can’t wait to see how this developer and all the other developers fares on the mainnet next month.

Compared to last week, the average daily transaction rate doubled leading to a over 30x increase in new address creation — this is the single largest weekly increase we have seen. We are also happy to see more users receiving their part of the weekly NAS reward.

In all, its been a very positive review for the testnet Developer Incentive Program. We are reviewing all the data received so we can further tune and improve the algorithm prior to the exciting mainnet launch! Good luck to all and we will see you next week.

Are you a developer?

To get developers started and receive incentives, Nebulas will be running the Developer Incentive Testnet Program until March 31,2019. In addition, developers will be testing NR, DIP and NBRE!

So, get started today and claim 5 Testnet tokens daily at https://testnet.nebulas.io/claim/ (tokens can be used to test any smart contracts on the Nebulas testnet blockchain).

Remember, this program is just the beginning! Once the testnet program is complete, Nebulas NOVA will be deployed to the mainnet and developers can earn $NAS just by choosing the Nebulas Blockchain for their DApp!

The Leader Board

Nebulas recently updated its web explorer and have also included a “DIP leaderboard” so everyone can follow along and see the data for themselves. Be sure to check it out at https://explorer.nebulas.io/#/testnet/dip-leaderboard
