Panther Testnet

For the current dApp, see the entrypoint. Each stage's entrypoint is deprecated in favor of the next stage.

Testing scope and stages

The following are the different stages of testing that users will undertake.

Stage	Name	Functionality to test
Stage 0	ZK Batching.	Run a Panther node to batch UTXOs and insert them into the chain, using a browser-based Panther miner client.
Stage 1	User onboarding.	Onboard yourself to the Protocol. Create, register, and activate a zAccount, passing a KYC procedure (email/name only) using a third-party compliance services provider.
Stage 2	PRP rewards	Test PRP reward flow.
Stage 3	Depositing, adding zAssets, and wallet cold-start.	Deposit assets into the Shielded Pool. Test the cold-start functionality by running the dApp from scratch (either on a new device or a new browser) and accessing your transaction history. Use a faucet to access an additional test token.
Stage 4	Intra-MASP transfers and withdrawals.	Send zAssets inside the Pool from one zAccount to another, withdraw zAsstes from MASP to EOA.
Stage 5	"Taxi" and transactions via bundlers.	Use bundlers to interact with the dApp. Check the “Taxi” option to push your UTXO into the chain as soon as possible (more time-efficient, less price-efficient).
Stage 6	Fee Management, and zAccount renewal.	Protocol fees. Test the zAccount renewal function (after expiry date). Disclosure function where txn can be verified by a 3rd party
Stage 7	DeFi swaps, Basic disclosures, more supported assets.	Swap zAssets via external Swap protocols using Panther. This test version has adaptors for Uniswap V3 and QuickSwap on Amoy ( Polygon test network). Data Escrow storage part and updates to History screen is also part of this Stage
Stage 8	Technical Enhancements	List of technical enhancements to upgrade the quality and scalability of the code base
Canary	Panther Beta Testnet on Polygon mainnet	Panther version-1 testnet on Polygon mainnet

As mentioned, specific testing guides for each step will be released along with them.

More information on each stage can be found in the following sub-pages.

Note: As the protocol developer, Panther Ventures Limited is resuming the testnet after re-deployment on Amoy. Panther Protocol Foundation is finalizing the details of the reward mechanism and will ensure that testers are rewarded proportionally to their efforts and we expect all incentives will be distributed via airdrop.
