Helios, a new Layer 1 blockchain, has launched its public testnet attracting over 400,000 users and processing 3.5 million transactions in just two weeks.
The testnet focuses on cross-chain composability and AI-native infrastructure, offering unique features like real-time external contract calls and developer revenue sharing.
Early testers have praised the ease of integration and developer-first experience, with rewards programs for those contributing to the ecosystem.
Helios is preparing for a mainnet launch later this year, focusing on onboarding node operators globally and offering detailed guides for running validators.
