Change of Seasons: Prepare for Testnet Incentives Transition Now
To ensure appropriate points calculation, users are reminded to link all PoP mining wallets to Absinthe by 11:59pm ET March 7 or risk Testnet Season point loss.

We’ve had a great turnout for the Testnet Season of the Hemi points program, which ends Friday, March 7th, at 11:59 pm ET (Mar. 8, 2025 at 4:49 a.m. UTC). Gearing up for the Mainnet Season, here are some important notes.
You Must Add All Your PoP Wallets To Absinthe
To ensure point distribution, users must add their PoP wallets to Absinthe before the 11:59 PM ET deadline on Friday, March 7, to be credited properly. Missing the deadline will result in lost points.
Points will continue to accumulate up until the Friday night deadline. The points dashboard will undergo a final update over the weekend after the snapshot as of March 5 at 11:59 pm ET is taken. On Monday, March 10, users will see their aggregate deduplicated PoP points in Absinthe based on testnet PoP mining performed across all properly linked addresses.
For the deduplication process, all PoP mining done by all linked addresses will be treated as if they were done by a single address, and the appropriate daily points and bonuses earned from all PoP activity will be credited in a lump-sum.
This deduplication also applies to the one-time bonuses–for example if you mined 3k keystones on one linked address and 2.5k keystones on another linked address, as long as the total unique keystones between those two addresses is greater than 5k (no more than 500 duplicates) you would receive the 5K unique keystone bonus.
Mainnet Points Season
By Wednesday March 12th, the Mainnet Points Season will go live on Absinthe and users will be credited for all points earned for any staking activity since March 5.
Once the Mainnet Points Season goes live on Absinthe, users will be able to toggle between their final testnet season points and their ongoing mainnet season points.
The Mainnet season page will show activities users can perform on testnet. That said, please check with our documentation and your Discord mods to confirm points accrual.
Starting on March 12th, additional tasks will be available including providing liquidity on DEXes and lending protocols. Check back often for new tasks and updated point allocations.
Of note, due to indexing changes, there may be a slight delay in when points appear in the Mainnet Season dashboard for some tasks.
With your participation, Hemi incentive programs remain equitable.
