STEEM EVM Update: SherpaSwap DEX Interface Live & Public Testnet Roadmap
Following the successful deployment of Uniswap V4 and PancakeSwap V3 contracts, I am pleased to announce that the SherpaSwap DEX interface is now live. This frontend allows users to interact directly with the PancakeSwap V3 contracts deployed on the Steem Virtual Machine (SVM).
This milestone moves us from backend contract verification to a fully functional user experience. You can now provide liquidity, execute swaps, and manage positions through a dedicated web interface.
Previous Updates
For context on the development timeline, please refer to the previous posts:
- PancakeSwap V3 Deployment
- Uniswap V4 Deployment & Fee Market Test
- BlockScout Explorer Live
- Private Testnet Launch
SherpaSwap DEX Interface
The SherpaSwap interface is now accessible at:
https://sherpaswap.blazeapps.org/
This interface connects to the previously deployed and verified PancakeSwap V3 contracts on the SVM testnet. It provides a familiar experience for users accustomed to modern decentralized exchanges.
Network Configuration
To use the interface, ensure your wallet is connected to the following network:
- Chain: Steem Virtual Machine (STEEM)
- Chain ID: 8163
- RPC Endpoint: https://evm.blazeapps.org
- Block Explorer: https://evmscan.steemscanner.com
Deployed Contracts
All underlying contracts are verified on BlockScout:
| Contract | Address |
|---|---|
| Wrapped STEEM (wSTEEM) | 0x70F0990B0c7036e8082F8c2DF85353119A5f3F3E |
| Sherpa Reward Token (SHERPA) | 0x96aaCF7e89050a74AcE6545c2F369E63572A7c94 |
| SherpaV3Factory | 0xB44cA2bE1a531D6FC8cFd1aaA2fD65E0a75e4c52 |

Functional Testing Results
With the interface live, I have conducted end-to-end testing:
- Swapping: Executed trades between STEEM, USDT, and SHERPA tokens directly through the UI.
- Liquidity Management: Successfully added and removed liquidity from concentrated liquidity pools.
- Position Tracking: Verified that NFT positions for liquidity providers are correctly displayed and managed via the NonfungiblePositionManager.
The interface interacts seamlessly with the SVM RPC, providing fast confirmation times and accurate state updates.
Roadmap: Public Testnet Launch
With a functional DEX interface now available, the SVM has demonstrated its capacity to support a complete DeFi user journey.
I am now preparing for a chain reset to launch a clean, stable Public Testnet. This will serve as the final staging environment before moving toward mainnet readiness. The Public Testnet will provide an open environment for developers to build, users to trade, and validators to secure the network.
My self-hosted BlockScout instance at https://evmscan.steemscanner.com has been optimized and is ready to handle the increased traffic expected during the public testnet phase. It offers unlimited access, fast indexing, and full contract verification support.
