Closed Alpha Testing Phase #1
The Cortensor Closed Alpha Testing Contest is an exciting opportunity for early supporters to contribute to the development of the decentralized AI network while earning $COR rewards. By participating, you’ll help shape the future of decentralized AI and strengthen the Cortensor ecosystem.
Contest Rules
Stake Requirement
Stake $10 worth of $COR per node on Pool 3 to ensure you are recognized as an early supporter and valued community member.
Rewards will be sent to the address used to stake. This address cannot be changed, and it will serve as the only way to verify and qualify as a participant in the contest.
Node Uptime
Keep your nodes online and running for at least 30 days to 45 days to qualify for rewards.
Bug Reporting
Actively communicate with Cortensor admins to report and troubleshoot any issues or bugs encountered during the contest.
Failure to report bugs may result in disqualification.
Disqualification Rights
Cortensor reserves the right to disqualify any participant at its sole discretion if behavior or activity is deemed harmful to the network or inconsistent with the contest’s spirit.
Long-Term Commitment
Maintaining node uptime beyond the contest period increases your chances for future $COR airdrops during the devnet, testnet, and mainnet phases.
Detailed Guidelines
Additional rules and guidelines will be available in the Cortensor Discord. Join to stay updated!

Winner Determination
Winners will be judged based on:
Active Nodes: The number of active nodes maintained during the contest.
NodeStats Performance: Reflects the quality and reliability of your contributions to the network.
Ping & Global Ping: Measures node responsiveness and uptime across the network.
State Metrics: Tracks performance in Create, Prepare, Precommit, and Commit states.
Counters & Points: Logs task entries and outcomes to assess reliability and accuracy.
These metrics ensure fair evaluation and reward meaningful contributions.
Bug Reporting and Troubleshooting:
Bug Reporting: Participants must actively report bugs during the testing phase.
Troubleshooting: Work collaboratively with Cortensor admins to troubleshoot and resolve issues.
Earn Points: Points will be awarded for identifying and reporting bugs.
Disqualification: Failure to engage in bug reporting and troubleshooting will result in disqualification.
Important Dates
Start Date: Early December 2024. The exact date will be announced soon.
Why Participate?
Earn $COR rewards while helping test the Cortensor ecosystem.
Gain priority for future airdrops during the devnet, testnet, and mainnet phases.
Shape the future of decentralized AI and become a pioneer in the Cortensor community.
Testing Focus
This phase will test the precursor to Cortensor’s mining software, including:
Cognitive Module: Orchestrates the mining process through the Proof of Useful Work (PoUW) state machine.
NodeStats Module: Tracks performance metrics, laying the groundwork for future reputation systems.
Participants will help refine these critical modules to ensure a robust network infrastructure.
