what's helios?
Helios is an upcoming modular Layer 1 blockchain platform featuring AI-optimized smart contracts and innovative Interchain Proof of Stake + Reputation (I-PoSR) consensus. The project is launching an incentivized testnet with confirmed airdrop rewards based on participation levels and XP earned. Key features include bridge-free interoperability, smart contract revenue sharing, and built-in automation via Chronos. Early adopters can receive multiplier benefits by linking their wallets through Discord before the public testnet launch.
