Key Features of the Kintsu Testnet

• Exclusive Early Access: A select group, including the Kintsu OGs, will have the opportunity to participate first, offering focused feedback to enhance the platform iteratively.
• Seamless Staking Process: Users can stake their tokens with ease and have them allocated among carefully selected validators for optimal security and efficiency.
• Innovative Unstaking and Batching Process: Unstaking requests are collected over a 48-hour period before being batched, followed by a standard 14-day unbonding period. Participants can cancel their requests until they are batched.

Hats Finance Audit Competition:

Kintsu has partnered with Hats Finance, a decentralized cybersecurity network, to conduct an audit competition on the contracts that will be deployed on the Testnet. The competition features a bounty of $40,000, incentivizing ethical hackers and security experts to identify and report vulnerabilities. This initiative ensures that Kintsu's contracts are thoroughly vetted before their mainnet launch, maintaining the highest security standards as Kintsu pioneers the future of liquid staking.
