(5/23 12:30pm ET) Update: Thank you for your patience; ​Phase II of the community testing program has resumed. Our only change is a 24 hour waiting period between submitting KYC information and its subsequent acceptance or rejection.

(5/20 | 12:40pm ET) Update: The community testing program is currently paused. We are making updates to the earning program and onboarding process and will update you as soon as soon as it is re-opened. You'll be placed on pause when you see "Creating account...", during wallet setup; your account will be created once the community testing program pause is lifted. Thank you for your patience.
