Crust Decentralized Storage Market technology internal testing has started, come and store your files!
In order to let users become familiar with the Maxwell testnet, the Crust development team has integrated support for IPFS in Crust Apps. Users can perform IPFS related operations on the corresponding page of Crust Apps. At the same time, the decentralized storage market is expected to go live in early March, when the storage market function will be integrated with the IPFS function of Crust Apps.
We will begin recruiting internal testing users in the Crust community from today, and the number of places is unlimited. The deadline for the internal testing activity is by the end of February, and depends on the testing situation. We welcome everyone to register for the activity.
What are the rewards for participating in the internal testing?
For users that participate in the internal testing of storage market tech, please submit Issues on GitHub (https://github.com/crustio/crust/issues/new). After that, please send a screenshot of the Bug to the Telegram admin.
After the activity, Crust will distribute 3 levels of rewards depending on the situation:
1. For users that find simple errors, such as typos, graphic discrepancies, etc. (referring to a page), they will earn a reward of 1,000 Candy.
2. For users that find more complex errors, such as application layer operation process issues, they will earn a reward of 5,000 Candy.
3. For users that find issues about the protocol layer, they will earn a reward of 10,000 Candy.
