โน๏ธ Important Notes
โ ๏ธ Testnet Tokens Have No Value
All tokens on testnet are for testing only. They cannot be traded for real money and have no monetary value. Never send mainnet tokens to testnet addresses!
๐ Testnet Can Be Reset
Testnets may be periodically reset, causing all balances and transactions to be wiped. This is normal and expected behavior.
๐ Mainnet Coming Soon
Yield Delta will launch on SEI mainnet in the future. When that happens, we'll update this guide with mainnet instructions. Stay tuned!
