Introduction
Our main focus over the past couple of months has been the development and release of the Descent Protocol core contracts on Base Goerli and their interaction with the core Descent products and tools. As we work toward the full protocol mainnet release, our goal is to be as transparent as possible with the community and consistently help clarify the scope of what will be delivered over the next few months.
This blog post will kick off Update One of many testnet release updates on our road to Descent Protocol Mainnet. Our aim is to update the community on our progress every few weeks. These updates will cover our latest deployments and the features within them, and offer example walkthroughs and guides for you to explore on your own.
Descent Protocol DApp Sneak Peek
What’s New with Descent Protocol?
Overview: The Deployed Components (v0.1.2)
For the latest testnet release, we have updated our SDKs and DApp to help you interact with the protocol. These updates include:
Core System Contracts
Peripheral Contracts
Getting Started with Descent Protocol
To start using and interacting with the above services, you will need to get some Base Goerli ETH and USDC. You can get some Base Goerli ETH here and USDC on Goerli here.
The interface will be updated accordingly to support every new release. In the first release of the testnet environment, you will be able to go through the processes of a Vault lifecycle. This includes locking in some collateral, drawing xNGN, paying back the xNGN, and then unlocking(withdrawing) the collateral.

Note: You can also setup the Descent Interface on your local machine by following the instructions in this repository: https://github.com/Descent-Collective/interface
The current deployed interface is in a very early work stage and is still in progress. Over the next few weeks, more functionality will be made available, and any feedback collected will be considered for upcoming releases.
