With our milestone testnet just around the corner, here’s all the information you need to know to take part. Whether you’re a token holder, a community contributor, a core-team member or node-validator, there is something for everyone to get their teeth stuck into.
Everyone, including you, can participate.
We will have at least 20 different guesses to be made on our Prediction Market testnet.

We will measure the amount of engagement from wallets who both hold ORK and engage in helping us test our network. By placing a guess, you are helping us in testing different use cases that we plan to take to market in the mainnet.
There will be a random snapshot taken during the testnet for all participants that engage a certain amount, and 🔮 ‘ will be waiting.

19th of May: Documentation and Onboarding for all Node Validators

All the documentation for participating node validators has gone live on our gitbook at https://app.gitbook.com/@orakuru/s/crystal-ball/.
Our Crystal Ball will act as the root knowledge base going forward, with all documentation for clients, integrations, extensions and more, going on there.
If you have any questions or requests for more information, please leave it in the Discord channel.
20th of May -> Applications open for Special projects and all Contributed Questions for the Prediction Market are finalised

Starting from the 20th, we will start seriously assessing special projects within our governance forum.
We will also launch a list of ‘requested projects’, products and tools that we know we need in order to better compete in our vertical.
We also asked the community for a list of questions that will go on our prediction market, you can find over 70 of the communities inputs here — https://governance.orakuru.io/t/help-us-find-questions-for-sakura-testnet-sneak-peak/1650/44
21st of May -> Node Validator townhall and launch party

We’ll have a full open sync with all Node validators and the core team at 15:30 UTC. This is a chance to meet everyone, ask questions and learn more.
After, we will have a mini-launch party in a special club house, open to all members of our community who want to come hang out, meet interesting people, and speak to core team members.
22nd -23rd of May -> Special Projects reviewed, extra help for testnet participants to setup.

On the 23rd, we will officially start collaborating with special projects that have passed or want to attempt the proposal process.
We have assigned 100,000 ORK to the 2 week mini-hackathon, where anyone is welcome to come and bring value where they see fit.
It is not necessary to finish every single aspect of the project, it can and should be broken down into manageable milestones staggered over time.
If you want to contribute, go here — https://governance.orakuru.io/ and keep an eye on our Discord.
24th of May -> Sakura truly begins, our Leadboard and dashboard goes live, all processes start

Our public facing leaderboard will keep track of every validators score and progress, as well as listing active special projects that you can contribute to.
A shoutout must go to our design and development team, they absolutely crushed it. (Here’s the dark mode in case you’re wondering).

The testnet overall will take a little over 2 weeks, with a few stages in between to stress test the network in different scenarios.
Again, a big thank you to everyone who has helped us so far. It’s really quite breathtaking the progress we’re making and the speed we’re moving out.
There’s a lot of people sleeping on us, but we’ll show them.
