The first step that will turn the Polkadex vision into reality is almost here!
There is finally a date for the Polkadex Mainnet release!
On September 29th, the Polkadex team will publicly launch the Polkadex blockchain, upon which Polkadex’s products will be built and gradually released. The Mainnet release marks the most important milestone yet for the Polkadex project team and community. Starting September 29th, anybody will be able to earn PDEX and secure the network by running a validator node or by staking their PDEX and nominating validators.
After weeks of a very successful Testnet launch and updates, the Polkadex network is ready to take its next step and launch on the Mainnet.

After last week’s successful release of the Polkadex Testnet, it’s time to kick things up a notch.
Last week brought the release of the Polkadex Testnet, the Test Token faucet, and the ability for anybody to run a Testnet validator node and/or stake their Test Tokens. The response was overwhelmingly positive. There are now almost 250 validator nodes and over 400 nominators in the Polkadex Testnet!
As Polkadex get closer and closer to this month’s Mainnet launch, the Testnet will undergo several wipes (yes, your Test Token balances will go to zero… that’s why they are Test Tokens!) and updates. The first update simulates the tokenomics of the Polkadex Mainnet and recreates the PDEX vesting schedule at…

Start running your own validator node on the Polkadex Testnet!

You can even claim Test Tokens to start staking as a validator. This is a huge step on the road towards the Polkadex Mainnet launch and one that many of the tech-savvy community members will be excited about. …
Different components of Polkadex will be rolled out to the Testnet before the Mainnet release. Find out all the relevant terms and the schedule of events for the next few weeks from this article.
Last week, the Polkadex team released Polkadex Mainnet Launch 101, a comprehensive article with helpful information about the upcoming launch of the Polkadex network Mainnet and the sequence of roll-outs of the components that make up the whole Mainnet of Polkadex.

As you may know by now, Polkadex is composed of three products: Polkadex Orderbook, Polkapool, and PolkaIDO. These three products make up the DApp layer of Polkadex. However, that is not all there is to Polkadex! The trustless DApp layer that contains the Orderbook, swap platform and IDO launchpad apps is maintained and secured by the Polkadex network. In other words, the Polkadex network is the Substrate-based blockchain upon which the Polkadex DApps are built. It is a network of computers that secure data and in turn are awarded tokens (PDEX). …
