Try the testnet prototype

Testnet prototype

Kadia DEX runs on Ergo testnet for testing: not audited, and not on mainnet. Every page says “TESTNET: test coins, no real value”. Nothing here involves real funds. The market’s ids are in the testnet DEX record.

What you’ll need

• An Ergo testnet wallet in your browser. Nautilus publishes separate testnet builds: get nautilus-testnet-chrome.zip or nautilus-testnet-firefox.zip from Nautilus’s GitHub releases.
  • Chrome: turn on Developer mode in chrome://extensions, then load the unzipped folder.
  • Firefox: load it as a temporary add-on from about:debugging.
  • Use a new wallet made for testing, never one that holds mainnet funds.
  • Keep only one Nautilus on. If you also have the mainnet build installed, turn it off while you test, or use a separate browser profile. With both on, they block each other and neither connects.
• Testnet ERG, and test USE for the DEX. They have no value. See Get test coins.
• Kadia on testnet. Use the hosted prototype (pick Testnet in the switch at the top of the page), or run it on your own computer.

What’s real and what isn’t

	Status
DEX	Live on testnet: the ERG / tUSE market. It reads markets and their status, and builds swap and liquidity orders. The hosted prototype is a signing build: you approve each transaction in your wallet, and it’s sent on testnet. Signing builds never sign on mainnet.
Lending	Reads the chain through the Kadia lending client and builds real transactions. Where signing is off, every action stops at the review screen.
Explorer	Works against a mainnet kadia-explorer only, for now. It isn’t part of the testnet prototype.
Site and docs	Real.
Wallet	Nautilus (EIP-12) in your browser, or ErgoPay on your phone. Kadia never asks for a seed phrase.

• Review screen: every action ends there. It shows what you send, what you get, which lines are fees and what stays yours, such as the rent reserve or a lending deposit.
• Approving a transaction: in the signing build, you approve it in your wallet. Before anything is sent, Kadia checks two things. The wallet must have signed exactly the transaction Kadia built. And the site, the node, the DEX service and your wallet must all be on testnet. If anything differs, nothing is sent.

Reporting a problem

Report problems in the channel your tester invitation came from. Include:

• what you did, step by step;
• what you expected and what happened instead;
• the app (DEX, Lending, Explorer, site) and its address;
• the browser, the wallet and its version;
• any transaction or box id shown;
• a screenshot of the review screen, if there was one.

Security problems: don’t post them publicly. A security contact will be published on the security page. Until then, send them privately to whoever invited you.

Never send your seed phrase, private keys or wallet password to anyone, including Kadia. Nobody from Kadia will ask for them.
