How does TIP work?

Each period, we evaluate the following criteria:
  1. Be an active mainnet validator. Submit proof via our Registration form.
  2. Validate all available Top N consumer chains secured by the Cosmos Hub (Neutron and Stride) with > 50% uptime.
  3. Use assigned consumer keys for all available Top N consumer chains (i.e., do not reuse your Hub key).
  4. Run a testnet infrastructure setup that closely mimics mainnet.
✅ If you meet these three criteria (most testnet validators do), you can earn USDC for participating in testnet events.

Get in touch!

If you think we've made a mistake or need to notify us of a planned disruption in your testnet participation, email us at project.cosmos@hypha.coop and we may be able to make an exception.

Exceptions are up to the discretion of the testnet coordinators. Once a period is completed and payments have been made, there will be no changes made retroactively.
