What is TradeStars 2.0 Testnet release?

With the mainnet journey ahead, we are introducing the testing playground for existing users, developers and future audience to experiment with and test-run without any risk. The testnet enables users to get acquainted with the environment, search for infrastructure vulnerabilities and weak points, test different scenarios of consensus decisions and explore the many possibilities to enhance the platform.

The updated Testnet enables users to:

• Register, deposit and withdraw Crypto and FIAT currency. (in the Ethereum Goerli / Matic Mumbai test networks)
• Trade (buy/sell) Cricket Fantasy Stocks.
• Explore the platform in and out.
• Share feedback in order to improve the user experience in further versions of the testnet and mainnet.

Bug Bounty

To kick off the testnet release, we’re holding a bug bounty program with TSX rewards for our Community Developers to help ensure that TradeStars has no major bugs. This will run until mainnet is deployed or the amount of TSX reserved for the program (100,000) is accounted for.

The bug bounty program will commence on January 25th, 2021, and run until mainnet launch. The scope of this program is to double-check functionality related to deposits, withdrawals, transactions and other functions. We are specifically looking for issues related to:
