The adventure begins

The Dango devs have been deving around the clock to ship our first public testnet as fast as humanly possible, and now the time has finally come! Say hello to testnet-1, the inception of our all-in-one DeFi hub where you can help battle test Dango in its earliest, most basic form. Let’s get straight into it and whizz through some of Dango’s first features that we’d love for you to come and try!

Pick your username

You can create a Dango account with an existing EVM wallet (e.g. Metamask) or Passkeys (just be aware that if you use Passkeys, you’ll need to link an EVM wallet to your account in settings to complete our Galxe quest). Either way you’ll create an onchain username such as @Larry, just as you’d do when signing up for Twitter or Instagram. Under this username you’ll soon be able to trade, earn, and do almost anything on Dango chain that your heart desires…

Create your first subaccount

Once you’ve signed up, you can open a subaccount. Simply click on the search bar on the home page and choose ‘Account Creation’ from the drop-down menu . Choose whether you want to add a spot or a margin account, fund it with some USDC, and ta-da – your second account will appear! Trading isn’t live just yet, but it won’t be long before you can start putting Dango’s novel order book design and leverage capabilities to the test.

Transfer some tokens

In testnet-1, you can also transfer tokens between Dango accounts by clicking the ‘Transfer’ icon on the home screen. Not sure whom to send tokens to? You can transfer between your own accounts, find someone in our Discord, or just send them to the intern’s personal wallet (use ‘intern’ as the destination address).

Did someone say…OAT?

To celebrate the launch of testnet-1, we’ve released the next instalment in our Galxe OAT series – the Dango Testnet Wizard. This OAT is available for 2 weeks and can be obtained by helping us field test Dango at this early stage in our second Galxe quest.

Only the beginning

What you’re seeing in V1 is just the first of many bricks that will be laid on our road to become the all-encompassing one-stop-shop for everything DeFi. Whether you want to trade, borrow, earn, bridge, or just manage your portfolio, Dango will have an applet for everything housed under one simple, intuitive portal. We hope you’ll stick around and follow along with us on this epic journey! Until next time, Dangbros.
