Pioneer Pass NFT Campaign

The Pioneer Pass campaign is designed to reward and recognize early stakers within the Babylon BTC Stakers community.

Key Concepts​

  • Babylon Testnet: A risk-free environment built on BTC Signet for testing Bitcoin staking.
  • BTC Signet: A testing network for Bitcoin with 0-value tokens.
  • Bitcoin Pioneer Pass: A commemorative NFT awarded to early participants in the Babylon testnet.

Specifications​

  • Token Standard: ERC-721
  • Network: Polygon
  • Contract Address: 0x79c385C2A5bB9986824A54817c1EAF4b57F09f10

The Pioneer Pass provides a utility boost within the airdrop campaign. Holders of the Pioneer Pass will receive a multiplier or bonus in the calculation of their airdrop allocation. The specific details of the boost will be announced separately for each airdrop campaign.

Distribution​

The Pioneer Pass is not directly distributed by the Babylon project. In the early stage, stakers can stake Signet BTC (testnet BTC that has no real value) and claim. At anytime, users can acquire the Pioneer Pass through NFT marketplaces that support the Polygon network.
