Today is a truly exciting time for the DEXON Foundation, and for developers worldwide, as we officially launch the DEXON testnet on 12th November. With the launch of DEXON testnet, this grants us an unparalleled chance to show the world the results of our vigorous efforts over the past year, as well as to show that our investors and community’s confidence in our team and our vision has been worthwhile.

With the release of DEXON testnet, it allows us to open our platform to a wider developer base and tech-savvy users, giving them the opportunity to interact with DEXON’s amazing features before it hits the full mainnet launch.

The primary goal of DEXON’s testnet is to allow users to develop their own Ethereum-compatible DApps and as a proof of concept to show what DEXON is capable of. This testnet will also demonstrate some of DEXON’s fundamental features and system architectures that will allow stress-testing of the core system functionalities.

This stage is also set to landmark several of DEXON’s key features and applications:

DEXON consensus SDK and fullnode, open-sourced DEXON Developer Portal DEXON Explorer DEXON Wallet

Let’s quickly go over what these two applications are about.

1. DEXON Consensus SDK & fullnode source

Consensus SDK : https://github.com/dexon-foundation/dexon-consensus

: https://github.com/dexon-foundation/dexon-consensus Fullnode: https://github.com/dexon-foundation/dexon

The DEXON developer portal is where you can find the faucet (free test tokens), tech resources, DEXON communities, and DEXON demo DApps. In other words, it’s where you, as a developer, would most likely make first contact with DEXON blocklattice.

Always make sure you visit developer portal and check things out: https://dexon.org/developer

3. DEXON Explorer — DEXSCAN

DEXSCAN is a user-friendly blocklattice explorer combined with web wallet (more on this on the next point) for the DEXON blocklattice. A blocklattice explorer is a search engine that allows users to search, confirm, and validate transactions.

DEXSCAN features:

View our DEXON simulator to understand the inner workings of DEXON

View live statistics, including TPS/BPS/accounts

View the status of each transaction/address/node/network

Read and write smart contracts

Connect your wallet to DekuSan, Ledger, or TREZOR and send tokens

Provide a mobile-friendly experience

3. DEXON Wallet — DekuSan

https://dexon.org/faucet; available on Chrome store and Firefox store

The DEXON wallet, or DekuSan, is a web wallet that allows users to view transactions, run DEXON DApps, and send tokens on the DEXON blocklattice. DekuSan is the gateway that will easily let you visit the DEXON blocklattice in your browser.

DekuSan features:

Send and receive tokens

View transaction details

Apart from these three awesome applications, we are also open DEXON’s code repo on GitHub, https://github.com/dexon-foundation/wiki/wiki. You can check this link on GitHub to help guide your technical journey on DEXON and we encourage you to talk to us about it through our Discord as well.

What you can do during the testnet

1. Bug report

Of course, apart from using the features listed above, another goal of the testnet is to test the network. So for users who would like to report any bugs or errors encountered, the official way is to open an issue on relevant GitHub repository. We expect to have a fruitful collaboration with everyone on how we can improve DEXON so make sure to join our community in DEXON, especially if you’re a DEXON developer.

To showcase DEXON’s goal of building a DApps ecosystem, during this launch, the first DApp launched on the DEXON network is also available for everyone to try — Deversi.

Deversi is an advanced reversi game on DEXON that allow users to participate by voting the next step and predicting the winner. Try it out now: https://deversi.online
