On May 24th, ALIENX Chain officially launched the HAL testnet and kicked off a 3-week interactive airdrop event. ALIENX is a staking public chain driven by AI nodes and compatible with EVM. It aims to solve the data security and privacy issues of traditional AI projects by combining AI technology with the decentralized nature of blockchain, and to achieve large-scale applications of AI Dapps, NFTs, and GameFi. ALIENX has secured a total of $17 million in funding from institutions including OKX Ventures, C² Ventures, and Next Leader Capital. In the latest round of funding, ALIENX Chain is valued at $200 million.
ALIENX HAL testnet launch means that its mainnet development is basically entering the final stage. The testnet airdrop event will last for 3 weeks. After the testnet airdrop ends, ALIENX will release the ALIENX mainnet and launch its mainnet native token $AIX at the end of June.
ALIENX Chain is built on the strategic cooperation of AlienSwap, Offchain Labs, and Caldera based on the Arbitrum Orbit technology. As a new star in the application chain track driven by AI nodes, the native team of ALIENX Chain has extremely strong experience in the application track and the basic attributes of the NFT community. In less than 3 months of its launch, the community’s active users have exceeded 300,000.
• ALIENX Explorer Pass will be released in March 2024.
• In early April 2024, the Social Airdrop attracted over 200,000 on-chain coin holders within a month and set a record for the largest issuance and holding of Arbitrum Mainnet NFTs, with an X-BOX Mint number exceeding 4 million.
• In mid-April 2024, the AI Node went online and the sales volume of 3-day nodes exceeded 20,000+, with the total node participation amount exceeding 20 million US dollars.
• By the end of April 2024, the number of users staking on the Staking Pool exceeded 50,000, with a total value locked (TVL) of over 50 million US dollars.
• On May 24, 2024, the ALIENX HA testnet went live and launched the 3-week HAL QUEST DROP event. Within 24 hours of the testnet’s launch, the on-chain user base exceeded 300,000.
• In June 2024, the ALIENX Mainnet is about to go live and launch the native token $AIX token.
The name of the ALIENX Chain test network is HAL. The background of the name HAL is taken from the science fiction novel “2001: A Space Odyssey”, where there is an HAL 9000 artificial intelligence computer. HAL is the beginning of artificial intelligence AI and also the beginning of ALIENX AI CHAIN. Any user can participate in the HAL test network, and ALIENX will provide a Faucet for users to receive and conduct a series of test activities on the HAL test network.
The activity is divided into basic tasks and interactive tasks with ecological projects. Users who complete the tasks can receive corresponding $ALIEN test coins. $ALIEN is an important credential for participating in the testnet. The rewards earned by participating in the HAL testnet will be exchanged for $AIX mainnet airdrops at a certain ratio after the mainnet is released.
ALIENX’s technical architecture is based on Arbitrum Orbit, and there is still some preparation work to be done before interacting with the testnet. Before the process begins, we need to prepare an EVM wallet, such as MetaMask or OKX Wallet, install the wallet plugin on Chrome, and log in to the website to connect the wallet to the HAL Network testnet.
• Faucet and ALIEN test coin collection
Select Faucet ETH on Testnet and click Go Now, there will be social authentication to join Discord and bind Twitter. After completing, jump to the interface to fill in the EVM address to receive the faucet. Each user address can receive 0.001 ETH and 2 $ALIEN test coins daily. It takes some time to receive from the faucet, usually a few minutes or hours, depending on the number of users receiving.
• Minting HAL testnet alien badge
Select the Claim Hal Testnet Badge and click Go Now to mint the Alien Badge NFT. The badge serves as an important credential for users participating in the testnet. You need to retweet on Twitter to claim 5 $ALIEN.

After completing the deployment of the testnet contract once, you will receive an Airdrop of 10 $ALIEN test coins. The maximum amount of $ALIEN per address is 20.

Of course, project parties and developers interested in the ecosystem can also fill out the application form to deploy ecological projects on the testnet.
Currently, the testnet has just launched with few ecological projects, mainly including the AlienSwap NFT trading market, SpellGuru decentralized AI model training and data network, and the upcoming DeTrade DEX.

The maximum reward for a single address is 10 $ALIEN. Of course, Key can also be obtained through AlienSwap transactions. Additionally, opening the box requires redirection to the SpellGuru official website to complete social tasks before it can be opened.
HAL Testnet activities also support an invitation mechanism. Users who invite friends to participate in the Testnet interaction will receive 5% of the amount of $ALIEN test coins airdropped to their friends, and there is no limit to the number of invitations. At the same time, users who previously participated in the ALIENX Staking Season and staked AGP and AEP can also receive a 1% Boost coefficient.
ALIENX’s HAL Testnet activity is the only testnet interaction airdrop activity before its mainnet launch in June. The purpose is to conduct large-scale testing to ensure the functionality and ecological development of the subsequent mainnet.
With the launch of the testnet and the release of the white paper and project roadmap, the world map of ALIENX is gradually revealing itself. ALIENX is the only AI node-driven, EVM-compatible, high-performance staking public chain. In the wave of artificial intelligence, the combination of blockchain and AI undoubtedly brings new vitality to the market. At the same time, ALIENX Chain is working hard to explore some innovative AI projects and build an ecosystem. Some interesting AI projects will be launched one after another during the three-week testnet activity and subsequent mainnet activities.
