Nebulas Node Strategy Testnet Program Weekly Report (Week 6: Feb 12 — Feb 18) Nebulas Follow Feb 20 · 3 min read

Six weeks have passed since the node strategy went live on the testnet and thus far a total of 57 nodes are currently participating with 52 nodes participating in block generation. The participating nodes will share the testnet incentives of at least 200,000 NAS.

Progress from last week

PoD governance mechanism development continues.

The smart contract and the node platform have been developed. The related collaborative development of the community collaboration platform GoNebulas is underway. We are also dealing with transferring the on-chain and off-chain data between the two platforms. All data related to governance voting will be on-chain. PoD consensus mechanism testing.

Continued testing the stability of the network.

Plan for next week

PoD governance mechanism testing.

The governance mechanism is being internally tested. After the internal testing is completed, the governance mechanism will be released on testnet for further testing. PoD governance voting testing on testnet is coming soon.

The top 51 consensus nodes that have produced the largest number of block can participate in the PoD governance voting test. The proposals to vote on currently include:

A. Marks Proposal: POD Block Generation Penalties: Since this proposal is about PoD penalties, it would be better to compete any updates prior to the mainnet launch.

B. Join the technical committee(TBA): More details are coming soon.

This will be closely related to community collaboration platforms and governance.

C. Nebulas Awareness Development & Content Creation Plan

D.Open NAS nano wallet to vote on tokens, so that the distribution of node benefits can be recorded and managed through NRC20(Chinese)

For more information about the PoD governance mechanism, please read Node Strategy: Governance Mechanism. Details about the first PoD governance voting will be announced next week.

WIKI updates.

The recently collected node-related technical support and FAQ will be compiled into wiki.nebulas.io. At the same time, the community is welcome to make suggestions on content organization, and participate in writing and translation. If you have specific suggestions about the wiki, you can also submit a proposal at https://go.nebulas.io.
