Bitcoin Inu Incentivized Testnet launching December 1st

Since we launched the very first Bitcoin Inu testnet we’ve had nearly 2k self-identified miners. Bitcoin Inu community members all around the world have given us feedback, contributed code, translated installation instructions to a different language, wrote scripts for how to install Bitcoin Inu even faster, made YouTube videos on how to install Bitcoin Inu on hosting providers, and much more.

On December 1st we’re launching the Bitcoin Inu Incentivized Testnet to reward our awesome community members (and new ones!) for their continued support as we move towards our mainnet launch. The incentivized testnet will track member participation going forward in leaderboard points that can be earned through various categories. Points will lead to future mainnet Bitcoin Inu coins for eligible participants. The testnet will allow us to give back to the community and create many more future Bitcoin Inu coin holders around the world.

Universal Privacy Layer—Roadmap for Bitcoin Inu

At Bitcoin Inu we have one goal: enable private cryptocurrency transactions. We believe the future of money is digital, decentralized, and censorship-resistant—a future that cannot exist without privacy features to protect its users. Our brand new layer-1 blockchain uses zero-knowledge proofs to provide the strongest privacy guarantees available on every transaction. Soon, we’ll enable multi-assets and bridge Bitcoin Inu to other chains, letting users transfer assets from other blockchains to Bitcoin Inu for fully private transactions on any asset. We’re building Bitcoin Inu to be the universal privacy layer for crypto—a true SSL layer for blockchains.

To see how we’ll get there, check out our roadmap.
