Beta brings a new economy
The Agoric beta introduces the foundational elements of our economy. We invite you to experience DeFi on Agoric, take a look under the hood, and start building with us.
Get Ahead of the Curve
Beta is a prime opportunity for developers to get ahead of the curve. Using Agoric’s testnet environment, you can rapidly build and deploy smart contracts atop a rich economy that incorporates test versions of our new BLD staking token and IST local currency. A new collection of DeFi legos gives access to our beta app where users can open treasury vaults or interact with our automated market maker. Join the fun by modifying our open treasury code and building your own projects leading up to mainnet. We can’t wait to see what you make!Test new Features

Test the Swap
Try Beta TodaySwap is an automated market maker and decentralized exchange that pairs up liquidity providers with users who wish to trade tokens.
Liquidity focal point
Swap will be a source of liquidity for BLD and IST tokens and will be a centerpiece of the Agoric economy.Offer safety built in
Agoric enforces an exchange of assets at the protocol level, so you can never be tricked by a malicious contract. For Swap transactions, your wallet shows you both a Give and a WantContract APIs
Your smart contract can programmatically trade, react to price changes, and more.Pluggable curve models (Soon!)
Version 1 of the Swap uses an X*Y=K curve model for its pools. Later versions will be expanded with pluggable curve and fee models.
