The STRAX token is more than just a cryptocurrency; it’s the fuel for the Stratis Platform. In celebration of the Stratis Auroria Testnet launch, Stratis is offering two campaigns offering participants a share of a 1,000,000 STRAX (StratisEVM) prize pool.

This blog will focus on what you need to do to be eligible for the Stratis Auroria Staking Campaign. The Stratis Auroria Staking Campaign is more than just a reward program, it’s designed to expand our community and familiarize users with our platform. Here’s what you can take away from participating in the campaign:

Understand the Testnet

The Auroria Testnet represents a sandbox environment where developers and users can experiment with Stratis blockchain features without risking real assets.

Set Up for Staking

To participate in the staking campaign, you’ll need to send STRAX to the Staking Deposit Contract and operate an execution node, a consensus node and a validator.

Active Participation

Staking isn’t just about holding tokens; it’s about actively participating in the network. Ensure your staking setup is online and operational to support the testnet, maximizing your chances to earn rewards.

Engage with the Community

The Stratis community is a vibrant ecosystem of blockchain enthusiasts, developers, and innovators. Engaging with the Stratis community through social media(s) and the official Discord Server can enhance your experience and provide valuable insight into what’s to come for Stratis and its journey with StratisEVM.
