### TL;DR

* A showcase dApp demonstrating what trading in a regulated Zone could look like

### Testnet

The testnet dApp is open to community testers. To help test, use the entrypoint link above.

Thank you so much for being part of the self-custody data revolution!

### Get Started

#### Tryout dApp access to Panther Protocol

1. Connect your MetaMask wallet.
2. Change the network to Amoy testnet.
3. Click on **Complete onboarding** and complete your dummy KYC.
4. You will need some [test MATIC](https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/polygon-amoy).

> Note that faucets require the wallet to hold MATIC 0.001 to release test MATIC.&#x20;

5. Activate your Panther account.
6. Go to the **zAssets** tab, and deposit some test tokens.
7. Go to **Withdraw** and withdraw some test tokens.
8. Send test tokens to other Panther zAddresses (make a 2nd account for transfers if needed; this is allowed in the testing phase).

Please note: test tokens have no value; testers have no claim in relation to tokens stored or transmitted on testnet.

### dApp deployment

The intention is for the testnet dApp Stages 0-7 to be deployed on Polygon’s testnet, Amoy.

Panther will provide users with test cases to execute on the test dApp. These are specific to each testing stage and will be communicated via our official channels before the launch of each stage.

**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. This page will be updated with more specifics in the coming days. \
\
**Disclaimer** For the avoidance of doubt, tZKP, tzZKP, tPRP, test MATIC, and any other tokens mentioned in this announcement or within the product are for testing purposes only and have no economic value, nor can they be exchanged for value. Participation on our incentivized testnet versions may result in you earning rewards, but such credits are not represented on any blockchain as tokens.

## What next?
