According to Odaily, blockchain Layer1 Shardeum has announced that its incentive testnet Atomium will launch at noon UTC on June 26, 2024. Atomium will be rolled out in stages, with a focus on multiple testing areas, starting with basic activities and P2P token transfers. This approach allows the community to thoroughly test the network in stages, while the technical team is prepared to address any issues discovered at each stage, ensuring a smooth transition to the mainnet.

The deadline for Atomium will depend on the success of stress tests on various network functions, and whether any issues that arise during this period are resolved. After successfully completing the incentive testnet and resolving any issues discovered during the testnet period, Shardeum will proceed to launch its mainnet.
