Behold the watchtowers! In an age where truth is as rare as a quiet day on the internet, the watchtowers stand, not just as relics of the past but as Guardians of Verity. And now, with Witness Chain, you too can join the ranks, for in the future, every witness can be a beacon of truth!
Are you passionate about networking and have extra bandwidth to share? If so, you may be the perfect candidate to become a watchtower. By utilizing your unused bandwidth, you can engage in decentralized speed tests and location challenges. Join us in shaping the future!
What You Need
Unused Bandwidth: Utilize your excess bandwidth to support network challenges.
Machine Specification: A machine comparable to an AWS t2 micro (1 vcpu, 1GB RAM and 5GB harddisk), though we recommend 2 cores, 4 GB RAM and 10 GB of storage.

Interest in Decentralized Networks: A passion for contributing to de-centralized networks and enhancing their security and efficiency.
How It Works
