Because the day for SundaeSwap’s a lot anticipated public testnet launch on Cardano got here and went on 5 December, enthusiastic customers had been greeted with… nothing! As a substitute, the decentralized trade’s staff knowledgeable its followers that the launch has been delayed attributable to beforehand unrecognized technical points, and it ought to be anticipated to happen on 6 December, 2021 as an alternative.
Beginning their tweet with a cryptic joke about rebranding the platform to “MondaeSwap”, the protocols builders, SundaeSwap Labs, revealed {that a} bug had been discovered with the protocol’s scoopers renewing scooper licenses.
Since SundaeSwap is an Automated Market Maker (AMM) DEX, it might fall sufferer to concurrency points. To unravel this, the protocol has launched and chosen governance scoopers. These are nodes that construct after which submit transactions for all the orders within the protocol, making it potential for a lot of customers to submit transactions on the similar time with out failing.
The DEX had first launched itself to the world round six months again, even earlier than sensible contract integration had been deployed to the Cardano community. Nonetheless, the shortage of outward improvement and launches have led to many dropping religion in each platforms, as was evident within the Twitter replies acquired by SundaeSwap.
Whereas many claimed that such delays solely result in Cardano being discredited additional, others complained in regards to the detrimental worth motion of Cardano’s native token ADA. One person went as far as to say,
Simply rebrand to “Sometime Swap” already.

No matter this, others additionally got here out in Cardano’s protection and reminded customers that creating and executing high quality code takes time and endurance. In a latest interview, SundaeSwap Labs CIO Pi Lanningham had additionally harassed the significance of being thorough so as to keep away from potential points sooner or later that end in severe repercussions, together with the lack of funds. He had additionally claimed that the rationale behind the delay was verifying that the protocol is bug-free earlier than it turns into open to public use.
Not taking any probabilities
Even then, Cardano’s improvement arm IOHK had revealed a long Twitter thread yesterday which outlined the potential shortcomings that customers ought to be ready for. It famous,
“Ignore any FUD. There will probably be bugs. There will probably be congestion. We’re pushing the community onerous. However that is what a testnet is for. And an important a part of our ongoing journey.”
It additionally acknowledged that the congestion is a constructive signal that the platform is receiving the suitable site visitors for correct evaluation whereas encouraging customers to seek out bugs within the testnet to make the mainnet launch a flawless success. The corporate additionally reiterated that their “central method” in direction of Cardano’s improvement will stay gradual and cautious, and finally, “proper”.
SundaeSwap and IOHK’s insistence on cautious consideration is comprehensible, given its previous historical past with dApp launches. Inside per week of the Alonzo onerous fork in August, the multi-pool DEX Minswap had grow to be the primary dApp to go dwell on Cardano public testnet, and likewise the primary to fail. Customers quickly began to face concurrency points similar to errors whereas making an attempt to swap tokens and supply liquidity. Evidently, SundaeSwap is just not taking any probabilities.
