# Program Overview #### Maximum Validators The Cypher Blockchain Validator Program will accommodate a maximum of 20000 validators. #### TestNet Validator Count For testing purposes, we are initially launching with 4000 validators on the TestNet. #### Block Time The block time for Cypher Blockchain is set at 01 seconds, ensuring efficient processing and validation. #### Block Rewards Validators will receive 0.5 CYPHER as a reward for each successfully mined block. ### TestNet Details To kickstart the program, all validators will be credited with 1000 TestNet CYPHER. It's important to note that these TestNet tokens are non-redeemable and cannot be converted into real-world currency. ### Redemption and MainNet All rewards accumulated during the TestNet phase will be redeemable into MainNet CYPHER at a 1:1 ratio starting from September 15th, 2024. These MainNet tokens will be 100% unlocked, allowing validators to cash out their rewards. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
