Here you can find the detailed step-by-step instruction of how to use deFarm first product: Single Farm! Let’s pick up your tools and grow your first corps!
Single Farm is a one-time DeFi Vault managed by a pro-trader that focuses on single, robust, and short-term trade executed on deFarm's partner DEXs. Learn more about Single Farm here: https://docs.de.farm/single-farm
Single Farm is now in Testnet phase, and will be available for mainnet this year. This Guide is used for both versions. The only difference is:
In the Testnet version, you will need to visit https://testnet.de.farm and connect your wallet through Optimism Goerli Network.
In the Mainnet version, you will need to visit https://de.farm and connect your wallet through Arbitrum or Optimism Network.
1. Wallet Connecting
The first step after visiting Single Farm dApp site is to connect your wallet. At the right corner, click on the “Connect Wallet” button and choose your suitable wallet
If you don’t have a wallet ready, please click on “I don’t have a wallet” and follow the instructions to create one. We recommend MetaMask, the most used wallet in the space
Normally, after connecting your wallet to deFarm Testnet, your wallet will automatically ask you to switch to Optimism Goerli Testnet. In case something when wrong, you can manually add Optimism Goerli Testnet by visiting this link and click on “Add to MetaMask”
In the Testnet phase, you will need TestUSDC and TestETH on Goerli Network to test out Single Farm.
To get TestETH, you can use any kind of Optimism Faucet available in the space. Please read this guide provided by Optimism for details. 0.1 ETH is more than enough for you to try Single Farm features.
To get TestUSDC, you will need to contact us. Single Farm Testnet uses Perp.com DEX to execute the order. Therefore, the TestUSDC is provided by Perp.com, and you can’t faucet it elsewhere.
