This incentivized testnet, named Wildhorn, is open to everyone and will help the HOPR core dev team to gather data about the stability of the latest version of the HOPR protocol.
Participants can earn four ranks of the Polygon Tester NFT, which will boost the APR of tokens staked in the HOPR staking program by between 1% and 5%, depending on rank.
The Wildhorn testnet will run from 2pm CET on Friday August 27th to 2pm CET on Friday September 3rd.

It’s never too late to join the HOPR staking program
Our staking program has been running for almost a month and we have nearly 11 million HOPR tokens staked.
The staking program will run until January 17th. You can start staking or add to an existing stake at any point during this period. Any time tokens are sent to the smart contract, they will be locked until the end of the staking event.
The staking contract pays out 0.05% per day, which works out at 18.25% APR. Each address can further boost this APR by earning and redeeming NFTs.
