What Rewards Can You Earn?
Users earn two types of points during the testnet, both redeemable for $R2 tokens at TGE:
- Signals – Earned through onchain actions and product usage
- Pulses – Earned through social engagement and quests
Signals carry a higher conversion rate than Pulses.
How points are calculated:
- Claim testnet tokens via Discord faucet (refreshes every 24 hours)
- 1 point per $1 of token value per hour held (e.g., 1 R2BTC at $85,000 = 2,040,000 pts/day)
- Points update daily
- Invite others with a comprehensive referral system
- Telegram bot users: your Chips have been converted to Pulses (1 Chip = 1 Pulse)
Your points = your reputation, future allocation, and access to the R2 economy.
