Layer 2 scaling solutions are quickly becoming the hotbed of airdrops and rewards. These projects offer the potential for big gains, as they are often looking to attract users and liquidity to their networks.
In this piece, Coinwire will provide a guide for participants to join the Mode Network testnet, a new Layer 2 project built on the OP Stack.
What is Mode Network?
Mode Network is an OP Stack Layer 2 designed for growth that incentivizes and directly rewards developers, users, and protocols to grow Mode and the Superchain ecosystem.
While many layer 2 solutions focus on solving scalability challenges at the protocol layer, Mode takes a different approach. It focuses on the application and growth layer of blockchain ecosystems, providing developers with the tools they need to build scalable and efficient applications.
The Mode mainnet will incentivize developers in the following main ways:
- Contract Secured Revenue: Smart Contract developers will share fees that run through the contracts they deploy to the network.
- Referral Revenue: Any developer, user or protocol that refers new developers, users or protocols to the network will earn a share of transaction fee revenue.
- Project growth dashboard and tooling: Developers will have access to a project dashboard with key data on their applications and integrations to leading web3 growth tools to support them in scaling their community.
