What is Ready Player One?
To accelerate ecosystem development and incentivize projects to deploy on the Bitlayer mainnet, Bitlayer is launching a series of ecosystem incentive programs– starting with the first event, Ready Player One.
The campaign is an open incentive program designed to distribute token rewards valued at over $50M to protocols and teams that deploy to the Bitlayer mainnet and demonstrate exceptional performance. Bitlayer’s growth is accelerating, and we urge strong projects to join our ecosystem to grow the protocol in exponential ways.
We encourage project teams to explore how to effectively utilize token rewards to achieve broader user adoption alongside our team at Bitlayer.
