To say the past few weeks at Dango HQ have been chaotic would be an understatement as we pulled out all the stops to ship testnet-1.5 in a timely fashion. Not in our wildest dreams did we imagine our first testnet would go down such a storm with ~180k users producing more than 1.75m transactions in just 2 weeks. Find me a more passionate, supportive, and hardcore community than the dangbros, Iโll wait.

As you can imagine, by the testnetโs end our plate was full with community feedback and requests which we were determined to review and implement before rolling out testnet-2, and thatโs precisely what weโve done. We wonโt edge you any longer, letโs get you caught up with the biggest and baddest upgrades hitting testnet-1.5:
We made numerous bug fixes
The browser now remembers your username(s). Youโll never need to type again when signing in.

Still forgot your username somehow? You can now provide your credential, and the app will look for associated usernames.

Youโll now receive notifications when you send or receive tokens, trade with our DEX, etc.

Block explorer is live. To access it, simply enter your account address or a transaction hash in the search bar. The explorer is quite basic at the moment, but weโll keep improving it throughout the next few weeks.

This testnet isnโt just about improving existing features though, weโre also introducing some new onesโฆ After all, we couldnโt in good faith call ourselves the one app for everything DeFi without our very own flagship DEX, so we went ahead and built one.

Thatโs right, the Dango DEX is live, and so are gasless, simple swaps. Wherever you are, whatever time it is, and whichever assets you want to swap, and, the Dango DEX is designed from the ground up to meet your needs. Convenience is king, and weโre here to serve it to you on the finest of silver platters.

Like what you see? Try a swap for yourself here.
โWhat about perps?โ โWen margin and spot order book?โ I can already foresee the Discord messages now so let me state for the record that weโre aiming to ship these in testnet-2 with a Pro Trading interface that should give even the most advanced CEXs a run for their money. Itโs true what they say you know, good things do come to those who wait, and these are features definitely worth waiting for.

Also, it goes without saying, but please remember the DEX is merely a prototype, and not the final product. Our pools arenโt yet leveraging concentrated liquidity, and our ultra-low latency oracle is also yet to come into effect. Price execution and UX definitely wonโt be flawless, but to paraphrase Marilyn Monroe as she once so eloquently put it, 'if you can't handle us at our worst, then you sure as hell donโt deserve us at our bestโ.
If you have feedback to share about this testnet, weโd love to hear it, so please stop by our Discord any time. Otherwise, make sure to follow us on X and keep your eyes peeled for our next exciting announcement. See you on the flip side, dangbros!

Dango Mainnet Alpha: Our Giant Leap Forward

Internโs Thoughts: The Calm Before We Absolutely Send It

Intern's Thoughts #1: Finding the Fun in DeFi
Finding the Fun Again in DeFiWhen I first joined Dango, I wasnโt told to โrevive DeFiโ or โchange the game.โ I was told to have fun. That felt weird at first. Everyone else in the space was talking about volumes, emissions, TVL, yield APRs โ all the usual DeFi bingo cards. But Dangoโs approach felt different.
