Galador Launches its Incentivized Testnet
When we launched the Galador Exchange on the Mantle testnet back in February 2023, we had no idea of the wild experience we’d be on. What started out initially as a hackathon project, quickly grew into something more serious. Harnessing the power of community feedback, we returned to the drawing board and iteratively refined our platform. The result? A user-centric, revamped version finely tuned to meet our community’s needs and expectations. And now, we’re thrilled to announce our much anticipated incentivized testnet.
If this is your first time exploring Galador, you should read this article first.
Incentivized? Testnet? What?
Testnets are used for testing and experimentation of protocols without any risk to real funds, or the main chain. At the time of writing, Mantle has currently launched its testnet but hasn’t yet launched its mainnet (scheduled for Q3 2023).
To deliver a well-optimized product the moment when Mantle’s mainnet launches, Galador will launch on the testnet first and continue iterating and improving during this period.
Our incentivized program rewards the community and early users of our platform, particularly those that flag potential issues and/or bugs to us (see below).
How to participate?
Simple: we’ve organized our incentives program as a set of quests you can complete through the Zealy (formerly Crew3) platform. Your progress is tracked through this platform, exposing you to exciting perks and rewards in the coming weeks (even spilling into mainnet launch!).
What are we looking for?
We want you to break Galador. Stress-test the protocol, run bots and scripts to identify potential attack vectors and bugs (and bring them to our notice!). But we’re also looking for ways to improve, so if you have any suggestions to make our interface more user-friendly, we’re all ears!
Simply open galador.io, connect your wallet to the Mantle testnet and see what you can do.
Claiming test tokens
Galador’s faucet provides you with a quick and easy way to claim some testnet funds to use our protocol. You can claim up to 100 each of USDC, USDT, and GLDR, and up to 1000 $MNT (Mantle’s native token) every hour or so.
Pssstt…
Don’t lose access to your testing wallet(s). Exciting rewards and perks await you for being a valued member of our community (might even spill into mainnet launch 👀).
Join our journey!
Galador is building a powerhouse in the Ethereum L2 community. As veterans in DeFi, we’re super excited to have you with us on our journey in redefining the DeFi landscape. With a next-gen decentralized exchange and liquidity infrastructure protocol. Only on Mantle.
