Gemini II Recap
Following a month of rigorous testing, the Gemini II Incentivized Testnet came to a close on October 25, at 4 pm UTC at block #701,019 with 27.3k+ concurrent live nodes distributed across 60+ countries, a new record for our network.
Gemini II Stats
- 27.3k+ concurrent live nodes
- 60+ countries
- 1.3 PB+ space pledged
The Subspace Network community is at the heart of everything we do, so we want to thank everyone for the continued support and contribution, putting us on the map as one of the most decentralized blockchain networks in the world.
Gemini II Rewards
A total of 0.55% of the token supply has been unlocked for Gemini II farmers. As promised, the 0.05% will be distributed equally to all qualified reward addresses with at least 0.5 tSSC, and the 0.5% will be distributed proportionally to the amount of tSSC farmed to reward addresses with at least 3 tSSC (Gemini II balance only).
Rewards Breakdown
- Start Block: #203,099
- End Block: #701,019
- Number of addresses qualified to receive portion of 0.05% (>=0.5 tSSC): 87,152
- Number of addresses qualified to receive portion of 0.5% (>=3 tSSC): 37,663
Please take a look at the Gemini II Incentivized Testnet reward list for a complete view of how rewards will be distributed. The last valid block for Gemini II was block #701,019, on October 25, at approximately 4 pm UTC. If you kept your node running after that, you likely have a higher tSSC balance in your wallet, but those credits earned are not counted since they were farmed after we announced the end of Gemini II. To check the accurate balance of tSSC that counted towards qualifying for Gemini II Rewards, please check out this quick tutorial.

Ambassador Program
We received over 1.6k+ applications for the next cohort of ambassadors! The Subspace Network Ambassador team is working tirelessly to review every single application we received. Candidates who made it to the next step should have received an email. Ambassador candidates who pass screening and the initial trial phase will qualify for a token grant commensurate with the seniority level in the program. You can find all the details about the Subspace Network Ambassador Program here.
We strongly believe in building a widely distributed community with many self-organized clusters all over the world. Our Ambassador Program is a critical component of the ecosystem that will help us accelerate the process of realizing our vision.
By the end of 2023, we plan to onboard at least a few hundred ambassadors worldwide. While every member of our community plays a vital role in the network, the selection process for the Ambassador Program is very competitive and rigorous to ensure we set a high bar from the beginning.
We received over 1,600 applications in the past month, but will only be able to select around 50 new ambassador candidates (apprentices) at this time. Although the application deadline for the next cohort of ambassadors recently closed, there will be many more opportunities to apply for the Ambassador Program in the coming months and years.
Subspace Network Community Twitter! 🎉
