# Validator challenge 8/9/22

In order to help with the testing, I wanted to create a kind of competition for the validators to see who is the best tester amongst us! :))

Below are a set of tasks and you will receive a score based on the difficulty of the task.

1. What tokens exist on the Namada testnet at genesis? (2 points)
    - (Game theory) The validator with the second highest balance of each token receives 2 points per token. (Hint: Use the faucet!)
2. Submit a proposal to governance (1 point)
    - Have the proposal be passed
    - Bonus point! Change the epoch grace period to some number other than 6 (10 points)

3. Make a transparent transfer (1 point)
    - Shield some eth tokens (2 points)
    - Unshield some eth tokens (2 points)

4. Increase the size of the validator set! (5 points)

5. Find a bug in our code! (10 points)

6. Explain the difference between an implicit and established account (2 points)

7. Give unique (not yet submitted) constructive feedback on the CLI (10 points)

Submit evidence to me on Elements/Matrix or by email bengt@heliax.dev in order to participate in this competition. Winners will be announced by 24 hours after the deadline. (At a tie, the first validator to submit takes priority). Resubmissions allowed (latest one always taken as valid).

Deadline Monday, Nov 14 2022 16.00+0000 UTC
