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, I’ll wait.

As you can imagine, by the testnet’s end our plate was full with community feedback and requests which we were determined to review and implement before rolling out testnet-2, and that’s precisely what we’ve done. We won’t edge you any longer, let’s 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). You’ll 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.

• You’ll 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 we’ll keep improving it throughout the next few weeks.

This testnet isn’t just about improving existing features though, we’re also introducing some new ones… After all, we couldn’t in good faith call ourselves the one app for everything DeFi without our very own flagship DEX, so we went ahead and built one.

That’s 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 we’re here to serve it to you on the finest of silver platters.

Like what you see? Try a swap for yourself here.

‘What about perps?’ ‘Wen margin and spot order book?’ I can already foresee the Discord messages now so let me state for the record that we’re 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. It’s 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 aren’t yet leveraging concentrated liquidity, and our ultra-low latency oracle is also yet to come into effect. Price execution and UX definitely won’t 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 don’t deserve us at our best’.

If you have feedback to share about this testnet, we’d 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!
