During the Cudos Public 'Somniorum' Testnet we will be running our incentive programme Project Artemis. We're inviting the Cudos community to help contribute towards the testing to help move the network closer to mainnet. To help maximise participation in our public testnet and to get the best feedback we're offering token rewards to users who join us and fulfil some key testing tasks.
During Project Artemis participants are able to earn CUDOS by completing tasks. Once our mainnet is deployed participants of Project Artemis will have native CUDOS sent to their wallets as reward for their contributions.
Tasks are broken down by user group; as either Validator tasks or Developer tasks. Anyone can participate on either side but Validator tasks require a much higher level of technical involvement and are only recommended for those with significant experience. Any Validators who're whitelisted for Mainnet and have already staked tokens via CUDOS Staking should be participating in each test phase, particularly Phase 4.
Project Artemis is broken down into 4 key phases which will run sequentially, find more details of each below:
Testnet Phases
Phase 1 - Apollo (finished October 22)

Total amount available per user:
- Validators: up to $360 each (plus $200 p/m for whitelisted mainnet Validators)
- Developers: up to $36 each

How to Participate
Just head to the current active tasks and dive into the Somniorum Testnet. Upon completion of each task please submit your evidence to this form. Tasks will be monitored and validated on-chain for completion.
CUDOS Rewards
CUDOS tokens will be distributed to the top Project Artemis participants when the Cudos Network mainnet is deployed. The same wallet addresses used for testnet must be retained to ensure access to your funds.
Participation in Project Artemis is open to everyone, but only the top 300 Developer addresses and 100 Validator addresses will be eligible for rewards. Details of which users have contributed the most and qualified for CUDOS rewards will be revealed shortly after each phase concludes.
We will be using blockchain snapshots to validate the state of tasks on-chain, and manual verification for any 'off-chain' tasks. We reserve the right to decide all reward eligibility.
