Eventum is a platform for decentralized real-world data feeds and Alpha is the first public demo of that protocol. Alpha version uses fully functioning validation mechanism, basic version of blockchain core layer functionalities (without staking and dispute options) and it is connected to a demo web app where anyone can try it out.
You can test Eventum alpha in a series of live events that will be available from February 9th to March 15th. You’ll be able to experience the Eventum protocol, the off-chain decentralized layer and the blockchain trust system, all working together to bring any data you can imagine into a decentralized API.
Eventum Alpha is at the moment deployed on Ropsten Test Network, NOT on the Main Ethereum Network. This enables us to thoroughly test the technology and measure everything before we go live, so your “real” accounts and its ethers on main Ethereum network are ALWAYS SAFE!
Why do it?
- First and foremost, to get a glimpse of what Eventum protocol is capable of. To see how easy it is to report the data and earn money while somebody else gets real-time data feed. To see how decentralized layer of validation nodes form consensus and how blockchain acts as a trust system.
- To receive rewards for testing the system. 7,000,000 EVT and 40 ETHtokens will be distributed among the participants according to this rewards structure. The faster you provide the answer that majority gave, more reward you will receive.
- To prove that you support the development of Eventum. In return, we will reserve a spot for you in the upcoming token sale.
How to sign up and join the event?
You need to join the event at least 30min before the start!
- Install Metamask extension for Google Chrome (https://metamask.io/), open Metamask and create a new account.
Select a strong password and save seed keywords somewhere safe
2. In Metamask, click on the upper left corner to change to Ropsten Test Network (Eventum Alpha is deployed on Ropsten testnet so if you are not connected to it, you will not be able to participate in events).
3. In order to join the events (and later claim rewards), you will need to pay a small amount of gas (mining fee in Ethereum network). In order to do so, you need some test ether in your wallet, so click BUY in your Metamask wallet, then ROPSTEN TEST FAUCET (a new page will open), and finally click on the green button saying request 1 ether from faucet. Wait a minute or so and check your Metamask account balance — you should have 1 ether inside (it can take up to 10 min if the network is slow).
4. Go to https://alpha.eventum.network/, Sign up, wait for the confirmation email and Log in. Then click Settings, check that Wallet address field is correctly pre-filled with your Metamask account and click Save changes.
5. Go back to the main page of Eventum Alpha, select an event and click Join. Metamask plugin will pop-up, enter 100,000 for Gas Limit and 100 for Gas Price, then click SUBMIT to confirm joining that event. This action will call a function in this event’s smart contract which will add you as a participant to that event.
Make sure you are on Ropsten Test Network, you have the same account selected in Metamask plugin as you have it in Eventum Alpha settings and that you set 100,000 for gas limit and 100 for gas price. Joining the event can take from few seconds to few minutes, depending on how fast your transaction will be mined on Ethereum network.
