We’re excited to announce that our contracts are live on Coston Testnet. Community members are free to test out the functionalities of the exchange before our official launch on Songbird. Important new features are:

Avalanche user airdrop is live with snapshot through 07/31/22
*NOTE: Airdropped tokens will automatically be staked in Sunshine and Rainbows as an NFT position
Sunshine and Rainbows single-sided staking is live
The Songbird user airdrop is not live. More details to come.

What is Coston Testnet

Coston is Flare’s public test network, or testnet. It is a testbed for developers that want to utilize Flare and test applications before risking actual value. This testnet allows developers to test the functionality of their smart contracts and debug before going live to Songbird or Flare Mainnet.

Why is it important?

This deployment puts us one step closer to launching on Songbird. Users of Pangolin on Avalanche can test their airdrop claim, and new community members from Songbird and Flare will have the chance to experience swaps, liquidity farming, and our brand new Sunshine and Rainbows staking product.
