Developer Program - Fast track

The Zama Farmers Program rewards the community for stress testing our products. The idea is simple: whenever we want to test a new feature, app or infrastructure, we will post a new quest on Guild, explaining the exact thing we want you to test. The quest will last only for a fixed period of time, during which you can earn points based on how many testing actions you completed. Later on, these points can be redeemed either for USDC, or for $ZAMA token. Everything is fair game: you can team up with other people to coordinate massive transaction surges, you can use bots, scripts, and anything else you think will help send more transactions faster. Your mission is to break things. We will run these campaigns on a regular basis, not just for Zama products, but also for products others are building on top of Zama, distributing millions of dollars in rewards to the community for many years. The first farmer program will be live in the next 2 weeks, so make sure to register now to stay informed when it starts!
