April 20th marks the second anniversary of the Flick token launch. Omnifix will also be launching the Framefest incentivized testnet on this date, showcasing new features such as the ability for creators to lease media nodes and run broadcasts on the platform.

What is the Framefest incentivized testnet?

The Framefest incentivized testnet is a platform that allows media node hosts, creators, and viewers to interact with Omnifix’s media infrastructure. Hosts can lease media nodes, creators can use them to store and broadcast content, and viewers can earn rewards by participating in activities such as tipping and watching broadcasts.

How do media nodes work on Omnifix?

Anyone can run a media node on Omnifix by registering it on the media node marketplace.

Media node hosts can set their own pricing based on the infrastructure offered.

How do viewers participate in the Framefest incentivized testnet?

Viewers can claim tokens through referral codes, watch broadcasts for 3 minutes, and tip creators. In return, they earn rewards such as Tflix tokens. Viewers can also participate in streak-based tasks, where completing tasks for consecutive days can earn them bonus points.

What happens if the number of creators exceeds the available media nodes?

If more creators are trying to lease media nodes than there are nodes available, it demonstrates a high demand for media nodes. This will highlight the need for more media node hosts, which is a key point that the incentivized testnet aims to demonstrate.
