Become a tester
To ensure the security of the network, we must have Sybil-resistance in place. For this reason, all our testers undergo screening to identify them as unique individuals. Our testers are not just testers; they are recognized as official KIRA Evangelists. This status qualifies them for benefits like grants, bounties, potential validator seats, governance roles, and Universal Basic Income (UBI). They also get access to the private testers chat and more.
On the mainnet, a dedicated governance body can identify non-Sybil operators without the need for Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols or any other personal identification. It's worth noting that there's no limit to the number of validators on either the testnet or the mainnet.

Regardless of your decision to participate in our tester's community, KIRA extends a warm welcome to all who wish to join our open and public network. To kick-start your journey, simply install our validator or sentry node software, available on our GitHub. As an alternative, you could also download our infrastructure management tool, KIRA Manager. We heartily invite everyone with a shared passion for decentralized systems and fundamental freedoms to delve into KIRA and discover its ability to run and secure the next generation web3 apps.
