BounceBit introduced early access with The Water Margin Event on January 30, 2024, inviting early contributors to boost Total Value Locked (TVL) and earn BounceBit points in return. Achieving remarkable milestones, BounceBits TVL soared to over $600 million within a month, complemented by securing $6 million in seed funding from leading investors Blockchain Capital and Breyer Capital. Today, we are thrilled to unveil our latest achievement: the BounceBit Testnet is officially live! Users are invited to enjoy an early experience of BounceClub and engage in staking on the BounceBit Testnet. Lets dive into the features and opportunities BounceBit Testnet brings.

The guiding philosophy of BounceBit is deeply motivated by Apple Inc.s spirit of innovation and commitment to user-centric design. Apples success is attributed not only to the functionality of their products but also to their elegant design and user-friendly interface.

Inspired by Apples business model, BounceBit aims to revolutionize traditional onchain development methods by introducing the concept of BounceClub and BounceBit App Store. As an integral part of the BounceBit ecosystem, BounceClub is designed to simplify smart contract deployment for everyone and minimize dApp redundancy.

BounceClub serves as a Web3 hub enabling everyone to craft their own onchain space without any coding requirements. A BounceClub owner can customize their BounceClub by simply selecting protocols that are listed on the BounceBit App Store, just like downloading apps from the App Store on your iPhone. The BounceBit App Store functions as a library of Web3 plugins where developers are welcome to apply for listing their smart contracts, just like publishing apps on iOSs App Store. Users who do not own a BounceClub can browse existing BounceClubs and engage in various Web3 activities to earn yield.

The BounceBit Testnet launch introduces multiple features: The BounceClub event, offering early access to BounceClub; BBScan, the explorer that tracks all activities on the BounceBit network; Dual-token staking, allowing users to stake BounceBits native token $BB and BounceBits uniformly mapped BTC $BBTC.

The BounceClub Event is centered around the theme Building on Bitcoin: From East to West, emphasizing a global effort to expand and innovate within the Bitcoin ecosystem. This theme underlines the initiative to unite developers, enthusiasts, and contributors from diverse regions in shaping the future of Bitcoin-centric development and applications.

To explore any of the Testnet features, youll need to get $BB tokens first from BounceBitsdiscord channel. Everyone is welcome to participate in the BounceClub event as either a BounceClub owner or a BounceClub user. Heres how it works:

There will be two sets of Testnet leaderboard tracking the level of engagement. One leaderboard ranks BounceClub Owners based on the total amount of transactions made in their Clubs, while the other one ranks BounceClub Users based on the amount of transactions made by each user.

Advancing on the Testnet leaderboards brings numerous rewards upon the BounceBit Mainnet Launch in April. Notably, the top 6000 BounceClub Owners on the Testnet leaderboard will be eligible to claim the exclusive 6000 Mainnet BounceClubs when BounceBit Mainnet launches.

The Testnet BounceClub Event supports a variety of tokens that are mirrored from multiple platforms for users to engage in the DeFi activities within BounceClubs. The list of mirrored tokens includes:

More smart contracts and assets will be added to this list soon!
