With the SundaeSwap Decentralised Exchange (DEX) launching on the Cardano Testnet, we have the opportunity to test the DEX, provide feedback to the teams and allow all parties to make changes, tweaks and upgrades to the network, code and user interface to provide the best experience as possible.

The team from SundaeSwap need testing and feedback on the DEX. This is the best time to provide that feedback before it hits the Mainnet for full public use.

This is how we can prepare and start testing the DEX.

To test the SundaeSwap Testnet you will need to install a web3 style wallet such as Nami Wallet or the development version of the Yoroi Nightly. For this example, we will be using Nami Wallet.

Wallets such as Daedalus do not have the ability to talk to a website as they're a standalone application. The SundaeSwap Testnet is a website decentralised application.

A future version of Yoroi is being worked on at the moment and there are updates coming very soon. As soon as a public version is available, we'll be reviewing it and publishing new guides on how to use it.

For now, all SundaeSwap Testnet interactions will happen with Nami Wallet.

UPDATE: SundaeSwap team have built in a Faucet to distribute test tokens

You can still get some test ADA for general testing on other platforms but you won't need to get them from the Cardano Faucet to get tested on the SundaeSwap Testnet.

The SundaeSwap Testnet Faucet will distribute tADA and other test assets to fill your Testnet wallet.

Consider Delegating to Our Pool

We're a small, independent single stake pool operator. We've got a long way to go before we are completely self-sufficient and continuously producing blocks for the community. Our stake pool infrastructure costs money and time to support. Search for us with ticker: ADAOZ.

Learn how to delegate to us using Daedalus or delegate with the Yoroi wallets.
