FilSwan Incentivized Proton Testnet Successfully Ended

The Incentivized Proton Testnet hosted by FilSwan was held from June 10th to June 16th. The event is aiming to test the performance of FilSwan’s Cross-Chain Storage (MCS). In order to incentivize users and storage service providers, FilSwan not only provided Fil and Datacap for the top 3 users and storage service providers respectively but also set 500,000 Swan credits for all community members participated.

According to the team’s statistics, the number of participants in this Proton Testnet reached 4,839, the total number of files uploaded is 298,461, and the number of orders received by storage service providers is 12,107, and the total file storage capacity amounted to 277759.51098728 G.

The Proton Testnet effectively verified parts of the parameters and performance of related software programs such as MCS v2.0, GO SWAN Provider 2.0.0.0-RC1, MCS API, etc., and meanwhile has provided valuable usage data and feedback for the team to upgrade and optimize the MCS and other related products.

Up to now, the list of the top 3 users and storage service providers as well as the scores and Swan credits of all participants in the FilSwan Proton Testnet have already been announced.
