Introducing: Crossfire, The Crypto.com Mainnet Dry-Run

Final Dry-Run before Mainnet launch, USD 300,000 incentives for validators

Today, crypto.com announced Crossfire, the Crypto.com Mainnet dry run, aimed at stress testing the network in a practical, real-world setting before public release. Crossfire marks an important milestone and final step in preparation for mainnet. Participating Validators have the opportunity to compete with each other while completing tasks. Winning Validators will share a prize pool of USD 300,000 in CRO rewards.
