## About Huygens <a href="#id-8723" id="id-8723"></a>

Departing from [Dome-A](/oort/infra/testnet-i-dome-a.md), the highest place in East Antarctica, Huygens marks another leap forward of OORT’s infinite quest in Web 3.0 and the metaverse. Huygens is inspired by Mons Huygens, the moon’s highest mountain, named after Dutch astronomer, physician, and mathematician Christiaan Huygens.

New technical and mining features are a major part of Huygens, including new mining roles in the mining system, identity wallet login, full compatibility with Ethereum, new rewards, collateral, and penalties based on verifying tokenomics and the CCN ecosystem's continuous build-up.&#x20;
