August 1st: Testnet Dashboard & Mobile UI/UX Update

On Thursday, August 1, the Bonzo Finance testnet site will be updated with the Halborn-audited contracts.

This update will be a 1:1 representation of the mainnet dashboard and feature a mobile user interface for the Bonzo Finance testnet dashboard. Additionally, support for testnet HBAR / wHBAR will be added to the testnet experience.

Important Note for Early Testers: Please close your testnet positions & withdraw test assets from the current dashboard before August 1st in order to retain ownership of test HTS assets.

Mid-August: Mainnet Launch

The Bonzo Finance protocol will be launching on mainnet in mid-August โ€” stay tuned for more updates and the exact launch date, which will be revealed soon.

Upon mainnet launch, anyone will be able to supply initially supported assets to the protocol and earn points which convert to $BONZO airdrop rewards at the end of each 6-month season; by supplying assets to Bonzo Finance, youโ€™ll be contributing to the key health metric of Total Value Locked (TVL) on Hedera.
