# Minting and Bonding on Solana

## Introduction

Be part of the first cohort of users who test the Itheum Protocol Minting and Staking Program on Solana! This test event aims to stress test Itheum's minting and staking mechanism that allows gaining an APR for bonding ITHEUM tokens to Data NFTs. 

### Scope:

* The test event will focus on the testing of the minting and bonding mechanism of NFMe in a "devnet" environment (i.e., no real value/mainnet tokens used).

### Test Dates:

* Start Data: 31 October (Thursday) 2024
* End Date:  5 November (Tuesday) 2024

### Base Rewards:

* 100,000 $ITHEUM shared pool for this test event for those who complete the <mark style="background-color:orange;">**Actions**</mark> and <mark style="background-color:blue;">**Tasks**</mark> to a fully satisfactory level
* Completing all **Actions** steps below as detailed in the Test Steps below, will also get you a total of 800 BiTz XP

### Bonus Rewards:

* Major bonus rewards in $ITHEUM for reporting "mission critical" bugs related to security, business logic, APR or rewards calculations (Note that they need to be confirmed by our team to be an issue before rewards are sent)
