• SHM (testnet token)
• WSHM (wrapped SHM)
• TestCoin (TC)

✅ Supported Trading Pair: WSHM / TestCoin (TC)
✅ Farming Reward Token: TestCoin (TC)

Live Dashboard and On-Chain Verification

MapleFi provides a live dashboard for monitoring activity and positions. All dashboard data is pulled directly from Shardeum Testnet smart contracts.

Moreover, all MapleFi contracts and transactions can be independently verified on the Shardeum explorer: https://explorer-mezame.shardeum.org/

Important Testnet Notes

As this is a testnet deployment:

• Tokens used are test tokens with no real-world value
• Liquidity and rewards are part of testnet validation
• Features may evolve based on performance and feedback

Looking Ahead: Preparing for Mainnet

Following successful testnet validation, MapleFi is expected to support fully operational DEX activity on Shardeum, enabling permissionless and low-cost swapping, trading, liquidity provisioning, and farming programs.

Further details regarding mainnet deployment, fee models, and ecosystem programs will be shared in future announcements. Stay tuned to our official channels.
