Open Dollar Testnet Launch

The Open Dollar Testnet has officially launched. The culmination of months of rigorous development and internal testing are now ready for public release and feedback. We’re proud of what our devs have accomplished and are ready to show the world the power of NFVs.

Our contract has withstood the test of dozens of the industry’s best devs in our recent audit with Code4rena. Now it’s time for you to take it for a test drive before our mainnet launch.

We welcome any and all suggestions or feedback at this stage as you experience our dApp for the first time. Jump in our Discord and let us know what you think!

The Open Dollar Testnet App

The Open Dollar Testnet Application allows users to open vaults, create leveraged positions, borrowing OD, repaying loans, and more with Arbitrum Sepolia testnet tokens.

Let’s dive in!

Getting started

You can obtain your free testnet tokens in our Discord server using the “/claim” command. You’ll need to add the Arbitrum Sepolia network to your wallet first and if you’re unsure of what to do next, you can check our Walkthrough video.

Once you have your testnet tokens, you can proceed to the Testnet application and be among the first to experience NFVs by opening your first vaults!

Creating Vaults

Create a vault by clicking “open vault facilitator” and “create a vault”. Here you can select the amount of collateral you’d like to deposit and OD you want to borrow.

Select the amount of collateral to deposit and OD to borrow, and approve the transaction. Wait a few moments for it to process, then click “review transaction” and “confirm transaction” to create your vault.

You can create as many vaults as you wish, we encourage it! Experiment with different collateral ratios, this is your chance to take risks without any consequences that you would face with real assets.

Once you’ve created your first vault, your app screen will show you a list of all vaults you have created as well as their liquidation risks. You can create new vaults, repay loans, borrow more OD against them, or liquidate them from here.

Non-Fungible Vaults (NFVs)

Each NFV features dynamic .svg display images generated fully on-chain. These show important information about the vault, such as the debt minted, collateral deposited, and the current liquidation risk.

Once your NFV is minted, you can view it in your Metamask wallet by adding the contract. To do this:

  1. Open Metamask and select the NFT tab
  2. Click “Import NFT”
  3. Input the contract address: 0x677Bd90AB6A27552D0744a0Af196DA127f014656
  4. Input the Token ID, which is your vault number without the “#” symbol
  5. Click Import

Auctions

In the Auctions tab, you can participate in any debt, surplus, or collateral auction opportunities available as a result of market fluctuations and liquidated vaults.

Collateral Auctions

Collateral auctions are meant to sell collateral that was seized from a Vault in exchange for OD. The OD that is received by an auction will be burned.

Surplus Auctions

Surplus auctions are meant to sell OD that has accrued inside the protocol in exchange for ODG. The ODG that is received by an auction will be burned.

Debt Auctions

Debt auctions are meant to mint and auction new ODG in exchange for OD. The OD that is received by an auction will be used to eliminate bad (or otherwise called uncovered) debt from the system.

Open Dollar Stats

On the Stats tab you can find a number of important metrics about the Open Dollar protocol. These include:

  • Total Collateral Locked (TVL)
  • The number of Vault NFTs
  • System Rates - Annual Stability Fee and Redemption rates
  • System Info - The amount of OD in circulation, global debt, and global debt utilization rate
  • Prices - The market price of OD, redemption price, and OD/ETH liquidity in Camelot
  • Collaterals - The types of collateral currently accepted, their contracts, delayed price, next price according to TWAP, stability fees, and borrow rates.
  • Contracts - The descriptions and contract addresses of the Open Dollar protocol and accepted collateral types

What’s next?

Once you’ve taken the Testnet App for a proper spin, be sure to get credit on our Galxe campaign and invite your friends to do the same. You’ll receive a special NFT in addition to Loyalty Points as thanks from us for participating in our Testnet, in addition to becoming eligible for a piece of the $10,000 prize pool. What are these NFTs and Loyalty Points good for? Stick around and follow our socials to find out!

About Open Dollar

Open Dollar is a DeFi lending protocol where users can lock their Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) and other assets into a modified Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs) called a Non-Fungible Vault. By doing so, they are able to borrow $OD while continuing to earn 100% of their yield.

Open Dollar’s native stablecoin ($OD) is an overcollateralized stablecoin backed by LSTs. An algorithmic control system with automatic debt repricing incentivizes users to take actions that maintain its stability. This makes it more flexible and minimizes the need for governance.

Open Dollar seeks to dampen the volatility of LSTs and boost liquidity between tokens while providing a new tradable vaults primitive. Learn more about the protocol by reading our Litepaper.
