Getting started

Using the testnet

Try OMEGA with test tokens on Cardano's Preprod network. Nothing costs real money, and everything you find helps make the launch safer.

#Before you start

The testnet runs on Preprod, Cardano's test network, at testnet.omega.so. It's open to invited testers now and opens to everyone shortly.

You'll need a Cardano wallet that supports Preprod, such as Lace or Eternl.

#Four steps

  1. Switch your wallet to Preprod. In your wallet's settings, change the network to Preprod.
  2. Get test ADA from the Cardano testnet faucet.
  3. Get test USDCx and OMEGA from the tap on the testnet's home page: 1,000 USDCx and 10,000 OMEGA, once a day.
  4. Try everything. Open a loan, deposit in the stability pool, stake OMEGA and swap in the peg module.

Check which wallet account is connected before you sign anything, and that your wallet is on Preprod.

#What's the same as mainnet

The testnet runs the same contracts that will be audited, with the same rules and launch settings. A few things differ: governance is a single key rather than the 3-of-5 multisig, and two services are stand-ins, because the real ones don't run on Preprod:

  • Prices: a stand-in for Pyth, signed by the testnet's own service and following the real ADA price.
  • Minswap pools: stand-in pools that follow the real market, so the price cross-check behaves as it will on mainnet.
