Invitation to the Blockchain network test

Blockchain Elrond invited hackers to attack its network during an upcoming stress test.

As announced on Tuesday, the upcoming Elrond stress test will involve a number of different attacks on the network. 

After the announcement, the stress test will "see Elrond's test network turn into a virtual battlefield. The event will award a prize pool of $40,000 to encourage participation in the stress test before the main network is launched.

Upon completion of the test, participants will receive $20,000 in native ERD network tokens. In addition, an additional $20,000 will be allocated to prizes for mainnet operators, which will be distributed over the next year.

Endurance tests are sometimes used to test how reliable blockchain networks are in extreme conditions.

One example of such a test was the Stress Test Day at BCH in early September 2018. During this event, the Bitcoin Cash network completed 2.1 million transactions within 24 hours.
