SVM Testnet: Network Stability, Live DeFi Liquidity & SVM App Ahead

in SVM - EVM on STEEM2 days ago

Following the successful deployment and verification of 28 Sherpa Protocol smart contracts and the launch of the Blockscout explorer, the SVM Testnet has now entered a stable post-deployment phase.

Smart contracts, validator-run price oracles, and network infrastructure are functioning as expected. Simultaneously, Sherpa Protocol's liquidity pools have gone live, and preparations are underway for the next phase: the launch of the SVM App frontend.

Network Stability

Post-deployment health checks have been successfully completed. The network is currently:

  • Maintaining stable consensus
  • Executing smart contracts correctly
  • Receiving data from validator-run price oracles
  • Processing DeFi-related transactions

Following the 0% inflation governance proposal, SVM is adhering to a pure fee-market model. To date, 380.052397 STEEM in testnet transaction fees has been generated, serving as a key indicator of network activity.


Sherpa Protocol Liquidity Pools

Sherpa Protocol's liquidity pools have now been officially initialized and are live.

Via SVM Scan, one can view:

  • Active liquidity pools
  • Liquidity depth
  • Trading activity

This marks a significant milestone for SVM, as the network is now testing functional DeFi capabilities alongside its EVM-compatible infrastructure.


SVM App Frontend

The next major step is the deployment of the SVM App frontend. Through the planned interface, users can easily:

  • Connect EVM-compatible wallets
  • Wrap/unwrap STEEM to use wSTEEM
  • View and interact with active liquidity pools
  • Monitor positions and transaction history

This reduces the need for raw contract calls or manual interaction via block explorers.


Validator & Oracle Infrastructure

Currently, 11 out of 12 validators are active.

The validator network plays a crucial role in consensus and oracle data processing. Accurate oracle data has become increasingly vital for DeFi applications following the launch of the Sherpa Protocol.

Post-deployment testing confirms that the interaction between smart contracts and validator-run price oracles is functioning correctly.
