IBC infrastructure Polymer Labs announced the launch of the Polyverse testnet, which will reward developers, infrastructure operators, and builders for their contributions in enhancing Ethereum scalability through Layer 2 solutions, expanding cross-chain applications, and promoting IBC in the Cosmos ecosystem.
The Polyverse testnet is divided into three stages. The first stage, Basecamp (already online, lasting until April), allows the development of dApps using Polymer, aiming to promote the development of innovative dApps and seamless interoperability, as well as enhancing developer tools within the ecosystem.
The second stage is planned to be released this month, during which Polymer will select a subset of dApps developed in the first stage and provide additional incentives for end-users to join the testnet.
The main focus of the third stage of Polyverse is to develop additional tools to support relayer operations and solicit feedback on relayer incentive plans.
As previously reported by BlockBeats, on January 23rd, Polymer Labs completed a $23 million Series A funding round, led by Blockchain Capital, Maven 11, and Distributed Global, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Placeholder, Digital Money Group, North Island Ventures, and Figment Capital, among others.
