Fixed Rate Lending Incentivized Testnet Program
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Danogo Fixed Rate Lending Testnet, marking a MAJOR milestone for Cardano DeFi. Why is is important for Cardano:
Danogo Smart Contracts will be the first to seamlessly interact with 3rd party Dapp (Liqwid) to demonstrate composability in Cardano, paving the way for future cooperation among Cardano DeFi Dapps.
This is the first Fixed Rate Pooled Lending Protocol on Cardano
Borrowers locking up ADA as collaterals will retain Staking rewards & voting rights, supporting decentralized governance on Cardano!
Borrowers will be able to use BTC (bridged via Wanchain) as collaterals to borrow
This testnet invites participants to dive into a unique experience that will play a crucial role in shaping the future of decentralized fixed-rate lending. Your feedback and participation will directly contribute to refining the platform, ensuring it is robust, secure, and user-friendly before its official release on the mainnet.
In addition to helping us improve the protocol, participants will be rewarded with Dano Tokens for completing key tasks, making this an exciting opportunity for early adopters to contribute to the growth of Danogo while earning rewards. We will be announcing Staking features for Dano Tokens soon and target to launch Staking rewards towards Q4 2025.
What is Danogo Fixed Rate Lending?
Danogo Fixed Rate Lending is a lending mechanism where the interest rate on a loan remains constant throughout its term, regardless of market fluctuations. This ensures that borrowers and lenders both benefit from predictable terms:
For Borrowers: Fixed interest rates provide stability, allowing borrowers to plan their repayments without worrying about increasing rates.
For Lenders: It ensures consistent returns on their deposits, making it easier to manage expected earnings.
This system is ideal for those who value certainty in their financial planning and is a cornerstone of the Danogo Fixed Rate Lending platform.
Danogo Fixed Rate Rewards
To reward our community for their invaluable participation, we have allocated 100,000 Dano Tokens for distribution among testnet participants. These tokens will serve as a gesture of appreciation for helping us refine the protocol, identify areas for improvement, and ensure a seamless transition to the mainnet.
Purpose of the Testnet
The primary goal of the testnet is to evaluate the performance, security, and usability of the Danogo Protocol. By simulating real-world scenarios, we aim to validate:
Technical architecture and the reliability of smart contracts
User experience of the lending and borrowing interface
Effectiveness of the fixed-rate lending mechanism
To better simulate the protocol’s functionality, we will distribute test tokens, such as WanBTC, WanUSDC,... to participants. These tokens can be used to create lending pools, borrow, and perform other actions on the testnet, enabling a realistic testing environment without requiring real assets.
This testnet serves as an open invitation for community members to play an integral role in shaping the protocol. Your feedback, suggestions, and bug reports will help us perfect the Danogo fixed-rate lending features before its official mainnet launch.

Tasks Included in the Danogo Fixed Rate Lending Testnet
The Danogo Fixed Rate Lending Testnet involves a series of tasks that participants must complete to earn rewards. Please ensure you carefully follow the rules and complete the required actions to qualify for the rewards.
Before performing the Testnet
Before starting the tasks, it is imperative to establish the preconditions. A prerequisite includes possessing a Cardano Preview wallet and a browser extension for its management
To be eligible for rewards, you must first register through this Form.
Once registered, access the testing platform https://preview.danogo.io/fixed-borrow and follow the instructions to complete the tasks.
During the Testing Process
You have the option to complete any number of tasks, whether it’s one, a few, or all. However, to be eligible for rewards, you must fully complete each task. Incomplete tasks will not be rewarded.
Each completed task will earn you points, and the more points you accumulate, the greater the rewards you will receive.
Main Tasks
First Task: Borrowing at a Fixed Interest Rate (5 points)
Borrowing Process: Once a pool is created, borrowers can select the amount to borrow and accept the loan terms, which include the fixed interest rate, loan amount, and duration.
Borrowing Requirements: Ensure you create four loan transactions.
How to create a Loan
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet
Open the app and click Connect Wallet.
Select the type of wallet you use. For example, if you're using Eternl Wallet, choose Eternl from the supported wallet options.
Confirm and connect your wallet to the platform to proceed.
Step 2: Choose Token to Borrow
Once your wallet is connected, you will be directed to the loan creation screen.
Select the Token you wish to borrow from the available options.
Step 3: Choose Collateral Token, Fixed-Rate, and Loan Duration
First, select the Collateral Token you want to use, which will serve as the asset backing your loan.
Next, choose the Loan Duration from the available options: 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days
Based on your selected collateral and loan duration, choose the corresponding Fixed-Rate. The available fixed rates will vary depending on both the collateral and loan duration selected.
Note: (If using ADA as collateral, the borrower will retain ADA staking rewards and voting rights.)
Step 4: Enter the amount to borrow
Enter the amount of the selected token that you wish to borrow. Ensure that the amount is within the liquidity.
Step 5: Adjust Health Factor
Adjust the Health Factor, which reflects the ratio between your collateral and the loan amount. A higher health factor means less risk of liquidation.
The system automatically calculates the required collateral based on the HF you enter, so you cannot manually increase the collateral.
Step 6: Review Loan Summary
Once you have set all the parameters, you will see a summary of your loan details.
Review the information carefully, ensuring the loan amount, collateral, rate, and duration are correct.
Step 7: Confirm and Sign
After reviewing your loan details, click Borrow.
Sign the transaction with your wallet to complete the loan creation process.
Second Task: Modified Loans (5 points)
Modified Loans: Modify at least 4 different loans. Perform at least one transaction to increase collateral.
How to Add Collaterals
Step 1: Go to My Account
Navigate to the Menu Fixed Rate Lending
Select My Account from the options.
Step 2: Select the Loan to Topup
In your account, find the loan that you need to modify.
Choose the loan with the low Health Factor (HF) that you wish to adjust.
Step 3: Add Collateral
You will be able to add more collateral to the loan, but you cannot reduce the existing collateral.
Select the token of collateral you want to add and enter the amount.
Step 4: Review HF and Collateral Value
After adding collateral, review the updated Health Factor (HF) and the total collateral value.
Ensure that the HF is now within a safe range to avoid liquidation.
Step 5: Sign to Confirm
Once you have reviewed the changes, click Topup.
Sign the transaction through your wallet to complete the modification.
Third Task: Repayment of Loans (3 points)
Repayment Process: Borrowers must repay their loans in full according to the agreed-upon schedule. Early repayment before the due date is also allowed.
Repayment Amount: Repay 4 loans
How to Repay a Loan
When your loan is close to its maturity date, you need to repay it to avoid liquidation and losing your collateral. Follow these steps to repay your loan:
Step 1: Go to My Account
Navigate to the Menu Fixed Rate Lending
Select My Account from the options.
Step 2: Select the Loan to Repay
In My account screen, you will see a list of your active loans.
Choose the loan that you wish to repay.
Step 3: Click Repay
Click on the Repay
This will initiate the loan repayment process.
Step 4: Sign to Confirm
Click on the Repay
This will initiate the loan repayment process.
Fourth Task: Redeem Pool (1 point)
Redeeming Process: Participants will redeem Principal Tokens (pT) and Yield Tokens (yT) from designated pools.
Redeem Requirement: We will provide pT and yT for participants to redeem from 1 specific lending pool.
How to Redeem
When a pool reaches its maturity date, you can redeem your investment and earned interest using yToken and pToken. Follow these steps to redeem your funds:
Step 1: Go to the Pool List
Navigate to the Menu Fixed Rate Lending
Select Fixed Term Deposit from the options. This will show you all your active pools.
Step 2: Select the Pool to Redeem
