<p>Launched on March 29, the <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/iota-and-shimmer-revolutionizing-iot-in-billion-dollar-market-with-superior-tech/">Shimmer EVM</a> testnet is a key step in expanding the reach of the interoperable Shimmer protocol to a wider community of blockchain users and developers who create EVM-compatible smart contracts. The Shimmer EVM on testnet paves the way for its much-anticipated release on the Shimmer network, offering various possibilities and access to features available in the Shimmer protocol.</p>
<p>During the public testnet phase, the Shimmer EVM will undergo further testing and validation to identify potential bugs or improvements.</p>
<h3 id="pyth-network-integration-and-treasures-of-shimmer-incentive-campaign">Pyth Network Integration and Treasures of Shimmer Incentive Campaign</h3>
<p>In early April, the Shimmer Network <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/iota-takes-a-step-forward-in-shimmerevm-integration-to-tap-into-billion-dollar-market-with-pyths-price-oracles-deployment/">announced</a> the deployment of Pyth Network&#8217;s oracle contracts on the Shimmer EVM testnet. This integration allows projects on Shimmer to access real-time price data on the EVM, a critical feature for lending protocols and derivatives platforms.</p>
<p>In a separate <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/iota-offers-chance-to-win-smr-1-3m-in-shimmerevm-incentive-program-to-build-the-blockchain-of-the-future/">announcement</a>, the Shimmer Network unveiled the upcoming Treasures of Shimmer incentive campaign. Set to begin on May 3, 2023, the two-week-long campaign aims to reward projects and users who participate in the public testing of the EVM chain and the decentralized applications (dApps) deployed on it. Participants will have the opportunity to partake in a prize pool of 1,300,000 SMR tokens.</p>
<p>As the Shimmer EVM testnet continues to make significant strides, its impressive milestones and planned incentive campaign demonstrate a promising future for the platform and its users.</p>
