Ladder Finance’s APP is launching soon in Version 0 (semi-closed beta). The timeline for the launch is subject to change. We expect to be able to showcase Version 0 around the beginning of August.

Unfortunately, Version 0 doesn’t show as much as its name suggests — you can see most of the features, but they don’t work because they’re not contractually linked. Think of it as a preview of Ladder Finance’s product. In Version 0, we’ll see some of the minting, staking, etc. of ZUSD, which is part of the LSDfi sector, including Deposit and withdrawals. We’ll be able to see more as the version goes up.

Why reveal only part of it?

There are a few practical problems. First and foremost, an error in a contract can cause the loss and tying up of assets, which is very likely to be unresolvable. We’re running tons of tests and exposing it to a lot of different situations to try and prevent this from happening. As much as we’ve been waiting, we have a lot of partners and customers who are waiting for us, so we can only be the most cautious. Bug bounties are great, but I don’t think we should have bugs in the first place. Next, we felt it would be premature to show it to customers because the tech odds are not yet in our favor. Some features might work, but it will be nothing more than a test.

In order to get the best deal on Ladder Finance, the fees for bridges and collaboration with various other DEXs are of utmost importance. These points are still unclear, and we are still negotiating. Please understand that this is a measure taken by the dev team for the best conditions.
