Abstract contributors: Testnet indicators are easily forged, and we expect real users to actively participate when the mainnet is launched

Abstract Chain contributor cygaar said in a post on X: "The main reason I don't like testnet incentives is that real users are always at a disadvantage. Testnet transactions are essentially free, which means that people can automate a lot of activities very easily. The possibility of real users standing out or competing with robots is basically 0%. If there is no cost to write scripts, then you can run millions of transactions to try to "farm". In fact, real users who naturally use the testnet will soon get lost. Is this good for network indicators? Of course, but I don't care about the testnet numbers. These transactions are not helpful to us, nor to our builders, and they are extremely easy to forge. No one will be fooled by these data. In the final analysis, I hope to see real users use our amazing ecological projects when the mainnet is launched. This kind of activity is good for our builders, users, and chains. " Earlier today, cygaar posted on X that the Abstract testnet has no incentives, and noticed that the network has added 10 million transactions in the past two weeks, just transferring ETH between wallets. Cygaar explained that its existence is to familiarize users with Abstract and give developers a temporary environment for mainnet deployment. The team does not care about testnet indicators that are easily manipulated. It is reported that Abstract Chain, the L2 network under Igloo, the parent company of Pudgy Penguins, announced that it will launch the mainnet in January next year.
