One of the brilliant things about web3 is collaborating with projects that elevate your game. Hence, we are partnering with the awesome DegenScore’s Beacons Holders community to test ZKX before anyone and receive valuable feedback.
What is DegenScore?
DegenScore is a web3 platform that allows users to check out and add context to their past transaction history in a super exciting and gamified way. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any cooler, they’ve added the DegenScore Beacon — an Ethereum soulmate that showcases your on-chain skills and abilities across multiple wallets.
How does the ZKX*DegenScore partnership work?
The partnership is pretty straightforward:
- DegenScore Beacon holders will get exclusive access to a private Testnet from 28th March, 6:30 pm UTC to 31st March, 9.30 am UTC.
- Join the community in just a few steps — connect your wallet at https://degenscore.com/cafe?opportunity=zkx-testnet and get your DegenScore. To be part of the Beacon community, you need a score of 700 or higher.
- You’ll have the chance to earn some serious rewards. This includes participation in the launch of ZKX’s token, complimented by a Shateigashira NFT (https://yakuza.zkx.fi), and an OG1/Shateigashira role in the ZKX Discord.
- All you need to do to earn these rewards is use the Testnet and complete a short feedback form. The feedback form will be shared within the DegenScore Discord.
