<h5><em><strong>Joining Shardeum has allowed me to dive deeper into the web3 ecosystem, surrounded by a team whose dedication and enthusiasm are truly contagious, Said ” Kelsey McGuire, CGO, Shardeum”, </strong></em><em><strong>In an exclusive interview with&nbsp;<a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/">BitcoinWorld</a>, </strong></em><em><strong>We discuss the journey of </strong></em><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelseykmcguire/"><em><strong>Kelsey McGuire</strong></em></a><em><strong>, Chief Growth Officer at&nbsp;</strong></em><em><strong>Shardeum </strong></em><em><strong>&amp; shed some light on some technicities of the Ecosystem , <a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/an-interview-with-shardeum-org/">Here you can find</a> our previous talks with Shardeum .&nbsp;</strong></em></h5> 
<p>&nbsp;</p> 
<ul> 
 <li> <h5><strong>Can you share with our audience what initially drew you to the crypto space and how your journey led you to Shardeum? In your previous roles at CoinFund and ConsenSys, what key strategies did you implement that you are now applying at Shardeum?</strong></h5> </li> 
</ul> 
<blockquote>
 <p>What initially drew me to the crypto space was the idea of working on something new and exciting with so much potential. The concept of shaping the new internet and being part of a group that is pioneering the future was incredibly appealing to me. My journey through the crypto landscape has been both challenging and rewarding, providing me with invaluable insights and experiences. I joined Shardeum because of the unique combination of the team and the technology. Joining Shardeum has allowed me to dive deeper into the web3 ecosystem, surrounded by a team whose dedication and enthusiasm are truly contagious. It’s invigorating to be part of a project that is not only technologically advanced but also has a clear vision for the future of decentralized systems. In my previous roles at CoinFund and ConsenSys, I focused heavily on strategies centered around community building and brand development. These strategies were always viewed through the lens of what we could do for our audience, rather than merely listing features. By understanding and addressing the needs and aspirations of the community, we were able to create a more engaging and impactful presence. At Shardeum, I am applying these same principles. We prioritize our community and continually seek ways to provide value and foster engagement. It’s about building a brand that resonates with people, and ensuring that our audience feels heard and valued. This approach not only strengthens our community but also drives the broader adoption and success of Shardeum’s innovative solutions.</p>
</blockquote> 
<ul> 
 <li> <h5><strong>How does Shardeum’s approach to blockchain technology differ from other layer-1 blockchains in the market?</strong></h5> </li> 
</ul> 
<blockquote>
 <p>Shardeum uses dynamic state sharding, which ensures linear scalability as more nodes join the network, without sacrificing decentralization or security. Developers can build on Shardeum using familiar EVM tools while benefiting from low gas fees and fast processing. Our focus on sustainability through a less energy-intensive consensus mechanism and our community-driven development approach further distinguish us. We prioritize user and developer experience, providing robust support and continuously incorporating community feedback. This approach, combined with our commitment to community-driven development and open-source ethos, ensures a robust, efficient, and secure platform for developers.</p>
</blockquote> 
<ul> 
 <li> <h5><strong>Could you explain the significance of the Atomium testnet launch and what you aim to achieve with Stage 1?</strong></h5> </li> 
</ul> 
<blockquote>
 <p>The Atomium testnet launch is a crucial milestone for Shardeum, representing a significant step toward our mainnet launch. We’re rolling out Atomium in stages to focus on multiple testing areas, beginning with foundational activities and P2P coin transfers. Stage 1 of Atomium (concluded on 3rd July 2024) focused on incentivizing the community to test the network by conducting numerous peer-to-peer transactions, allowing us to monitor node performance under pressure and make necessary fixes. The feedback and data gathered during this stage will help us identify and resolve potential issues, fortifying the network’s stability and security. Overall, the Atomium testnet launch is essential for refining the Shardeum protocol, ensuring a smooth and secure transition to mainnet, and engaging our community in the development process.</p>
</blockquote> 
<ul> 
 <li style="text-align: left"> <h5><strong>How is the community involved in the testing process, and what incentives are there for participants?</strong></h5> </li> 
</ul> 
<blockquote>
 <p>At Shardeum, community involvement is central to our testing process, especially with the Atomium testnet. We encourage community members to actively participate in stress testing various network functionalities, such as P2P coin transfers and more components. Participants in our incentivized testnet campaigns have the opportunity to earn rewards such as XP, NFTs, airdrops, and surprise rewards from our partners. These incentives not only recognize their contributions but also encourage active participation in refining Shardeum’s network capabilities. Beyond testnets, we also collaborate closely with our community through bug bounty programs in partnership with Immunefi. These programs invite ethical hackers worldwide to identify and report vulnerabilities in exchange for substantial bounties, ensuring thorough security scrutiny before our mainnet launch.</p>
</blockquote> 
<ul> 
 <li> <h5><strong>What are the key challenges you anticipate during the stress testing phase, and how does the team plan to address them?</strong></h5> </li> 
</ul> 
<blockquote>
 <p>During the stress testing phase of our incentivized testnet, Shardeum anticipates challenges in scalability and performance optimization. We address these by employing advanced monitoring, iterative testing, community feedback, and collaboration with experts. This approach ensures our platform can handle increased transaction volumes securely, maintain efficient consensus mechanisms, and optimize performance under high-demand conditions.</p>
</blockquote> 
<ul> 
 <li> <h5><strong>Can you provide more details about the upcoming bug bounty program and how it will contribute to network security?</strong></h5> </li> 
</ul> 
<blockquote>
 <p>Shardeum’s bug bounty program, launched in collaboration with Immunefi, kicked off today with a robust bounty structure totaling $700,000 USD. This initiative invites ethical hackers globally to rigorously test our network for vulnerabilities ahead of our mainnet debut. By rewarding participants based on the severity of bugs discovered and their impact, we aim to bolster Shardeum’s security framework significantly. This proactive approach not only enhances our preparedness but also underscores our commitment to maintaining a resilient and trustworthy blockchain platform.</p>
</blockquote> 
<ul> 
 <li> <h5><strong>Looking ahead, what are the major milestones for Shardeum post-testnet, and how do you see the platform evolving in the next few years?</strong></h5> </li> 
</ul> 
<blockquote>
 <p>Looking ahead, Shardeum’s post-testnet roadmap is focused on several key milestones. Firstly, we plan to finalize and launch our mainnet, marking a pivotal moment in our journey towards scalability and decentralization. Following this, we aim to expand our ecosystem by attracting developers to build innovative dApps and solutions on our platform. Additionally, we are committed to enhancing interoperability with other blockchain networks and implementing governance mechanisms that empower our community. Over the next few years, Shardeum envisions becoming a leading player in the blockchain space, known for its scalability, security, and inclusive community-driven ethos.</p>
