At the end of each season, users can track their Aura and leaderboard rankings, enabling users to monitor their rewards progress across missions and liquidity actions.What is Nibiru?Nibiru is a high-throughput Multi VM blockchain that’s aimed at making “building and using Web3 applications faster, more efficient, and more accessible,” according to CEO and Co-Founder Unique Divine.With $20.5 million raised across three funding rounds, Nibiru leverages Nibiru EVM, a high-speed parallel EVM developed by Google, JP Morgan, and Tendermint ex-contributors and designed to “overcome Ethereum’s limitations.”As well as enabling builders to make use of a familiar tool set, Nibiru EVM employs parallel optimistic execution, using “additional cores available to full nodes to process transactions simultaneously, overcoming vital scalability concerns experienced by many blockchain networks,” according to a Nibiru spokesperson.Follow Nibiru on X at @NibiruChain.
