On February 2nd 2023, CasperSwap announced that their testnet is now live. This testnet is built on Casper Network which in itself is a very good protocol. In fact, in the last few days, we have also seen that the price of the network is rising steadily. The new Testnet reward is expected to last for around 4 weeks and you will be required to register and participate in the testnet to gain these rewards. In this article, we are going to cover everything that you need to know to go ahead with this launch.
What is CasperSwap?
CasperSwap represents a revolutionary approach to decentralized exchanges as it operates as the first automated market-making protocol on the Casper Network. Unlike other exchanges, CasperSwap leverages a constant product formula implemented through non-upgradeable smart contracts to ensure a high level of security and censorship resistance.
One of the key advantages of CasperSwap is its automated liquidity protocol, which is designed to function without the need for trusted third parties. By prioritizing decentralization, CasperSwap has effectively eliminated the need for intermediaries, thus reducing the risks associated with centralized exchanges.
Another significant feature of CasperSwap is its open-source software licensed under the GPL. This means that the source code is freely available for anyone to inspect and modify, making it an attractive option for developers who want to build on top of the Casper Network.
This is what the team said as it announced its testnet reward program,
“At CasperSwap, we are dedicated to building an open, transparent, and efficient solution for protocols to incentivize liquidity for their own use case, for liquidity providers to earn fees and competitive rewards, and for traders to swap assets efficiently. Since the start of the CasperSwap community in December 2022, we’ve seen steady and strong growth on our social channels, like Twitter, Discord, and Telegram. While we are heads down building the decentralized solution of trading and liquidity-providing infrastructure on Casper Network, we would love to hear your feedback to build better. Thus, we are now launching the CasperSwap Testnet Reward Program. We look forward to receiving your feedback and integrating your suggestions!”
How will the Testnet Rewards Program be conducted?
To participate in the CasperSwap Testnet Program, you can register starting February 2, 2023, at 10:00 am Eastern Time by completing the registration form. The registration form for the CasperSwap Testnet Program will be open until March 2, 2023, at 10:00 Eastern Time.

The registration step is the most vital for you to be able to participate in the testnet rewards program. By following the given steps you can take a step closer to being eligible for many rewards.
