Developers believe this is the only way to accurately assess their theories on incentivization. They said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The ada rewards earned for delegating a stake or running a stake pool are real and, once the testnet is complete, spendable. We\u2019re using real rewards to gauge real responses, and to assess how the mechanism works in a real-world setting.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Stages of Testnet Participation<\/h3>\n<p>All the same, in the clamor to be a part of it, many ADA holders are confused over the process. As of today, anyone wanting to participate should have their ADA in a Daedalus or Yoroi wallet. And not on an exchange or hardware wallet. But this first snapshot is a dry run, and does not affect your testnet participation.<\/p>\n<p>Within a few days from now, a testnet wallet will be available for download. After downloading, restore your account to it by entering your 12-word recovery key.<\/p>\n<p>At this point verify that the account restoration on the testnet wallet has worked and that your test balance is correct.<\/p>\n<p>If there are problems, now is the time to get in touch with Cardano support. Otherwise, simply wait for the second snapshot.<\/p>\n<p>After the second snapshot has been taken, you are free to move your tokens wherever you wish. But your test tokens will stay in the test wallet.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, participation in today&#8217;s balance snapshot is optional. And will not affect your ability to participate in the incentivized testnet.<\/p>\n<h3>ADA Price<\/h3>\n<p>Since the start of the year, ADA has followed a similar pattern to Bitcoin. Having spiked around April, and then again during the summer. However, ADA&#8217;s summer decline occurred from July onwards, versus Bitcoin who managed to stave off a price drop until late August.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-404049\" src=\"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ZbZ80Nxc.png?resize=920%2C568\" alt=\"\" width=\"920\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ZbZ80Nxc.png?w=920 920w, https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ZbZ80Nxc.png?w=460 460w, https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ZbZ80Nxc.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ZbZ80Nxc.png?w=860 860w, https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ZbZ80Nxc.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\"><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s snapshot did not significantly affect the price as Cardano is up just under 2% at $0.044.
