Testnet Asimov:
The Future of Trustless
AI Starts Here
Deploy the Future. Validate Intelligence.
Join GenLayer’s incentivized testnet program and help pioneer the Court of the Internet, where AI meets consensus, and contracts can reason, adapt, and enforce themselves. Whether you're a validator, developer, researcher, or builder, this is your opportunity to shape the first blockchain that thinks.
What is The GenLayer Testnet?
GenLayer is building the trust infrastructure for the AI Age, a programmable, on-chain legal system for autonomous agents and humans.
Our two-stage incentivized testnet invites contributors to stress-test this new decentralized legal layer and earn rewards through verified contributions. This is where autonomous agents, human users, and LLMs coordinate—trustlessly, transparently, and at machine speed.
The Two Testnets
The GenLayer testnet program is structured as a two-stage rollout. Testnet Asimov is the first of two pre-mainnet Testnets designed to validate GenLayer’s novel "Optimistic Democracy" consensus mechanism. Unlike traditional blockchain consensus mechanisms that rely purely on deterministic code execution, GenLayer's validators are connected to different Large Language Models (LLMs) that work together to make subjective decisions and interpret real-world data.

Core infrastructure, node stability, LLM consensus, validator onboarding.
Testnet Bradbury
LLM configuration, adversarial testing, multi-round appeals, validator specialization, governance simulation.
Validator Track
What Makes GenLayer Validation Unique?
LLM-Based Validation
Run your own AI model and participate in reasoning-based consensus, not just deterministic code execution.
Incentivized Point System
Earn points for verified contributions. Top validators may receive future reward allocations, exclusive NFTs, and early mainnet access.
Multi-Testnet Advancement Track
Progress through through Testnet Asimov and Testnet Bradbury, each unlocking deeper AI integrations, adversarial testing, and governance roles.
