The decentralized content distribution and social protocol RSS3 has launched its Alpha mainnet. The Alpha mainnet includes: Alpha VSL (VSL is a Layer2 built using an adjusted OP stack), Alpha nodes (users can choose to start Alpha nodes or delegate RSS3 to Alpha nodes and receive rewards), Chips (tokens can be staked to specific nodes to mint delegation proof Chips and can be exchanged for RSS3 after the production mainnet is launched), and cross-chain functionality.
