By operating a Datagram node, accessing the Alpha Testnet environment, or submitting performance data, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not participate.

2. PURPOSE OF THE ALPHA TESTNET

The Alpha Testnet provides a live testing environment for Datagram’s decentralized infrastructure layer, supporting real-time applications such as video, voice, and low-latency data streaming. Participants may deploy and operate nodes to support compute, bandwidth, and availability tracking during this test phase.

Participants who meet certain uptime and performance thresholds may become eligible to receive future rewards through an airdrop. No rewards are guaranteed.

  • You are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms;

  • You do not use VPNs, proxies, or other tools to circumvent geographic restrictions; and
