Today, we are releasing the biggest update to Kaizen, the Polkadex testnet, yet. Today’s testnet launch is an important milestone in the buildup to the upcoming launch of Polkadex Orderbook v2 on the Polkadex mainnet, the launch of THEA, the connection between the Polkadex parachain and the Polkadex solochain, and the release of the Polkadex Crowdloan rewards. However, it is not only a tease of what is coming very soon, but also a testament to all the hard work the Polkadex team has been doing behind the scenes these last few months.</p><h3 id="now-available-on-kaizen">Now available on Kaizen</h3><p>On the frontend side, Polkadexers will get to not only play around with the Orderbook, but they’ll also be able to test the user interface for THEA, which includes the Polkadex Parachain connection and an open XCM channel with Moonbase Alpha (Moonbeam’s testnet).</p><p><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*_D7XqVidHqmItemCs6J24A.png" /></p><p>The most savvy Polkadexers will even see the Polkapool backend implemented into the latest Kaizen release. Last but not least, Polkadex Crowdloan contributors will also be able to do a test run-through of the PDEX rewards claiming process.</p><p><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*VQiB-U6spMLuYMCSGyCxzA.png" /></p><p>For guides on how to test all the different features of today’s launch, please scroll down past the section break at the end of this article.</p><h3 id="orderbook-v2">Orderbook v2</h3><p>The main update to Kaizen, however, is Orderbook v2. While the user interface of Orderbook v2 will look and feel very similar to the current v1, it’s a completely different beast under the hood. When we launched v1, we were successful in building a non-custodial order-book based exchange capable of scaling to high-frequency-trading speeds. However, we were limited by the technology available to us at that time. This resulted in an architecture which relied on enclaves, or centralized pieces of hardware maintained by the exchange operators (in this case, Polkadex), which meant “snapshots” of the current state (including trading account balances at any given time) were centrally maintained. While this did not affect the day-to-day user experience in a meaningful way, it did make Polkadex Orderbook more reliant on the operator, especially in fringe cases where recovery mode might need to be enabled by the governance council. Ultimately, v1 was a secure but not optimal solution. We needed a technological breakthrough in order to remove the operator’s responsibility for state snapshots and make sure potential recoveries were not reliant on centralized snapshots.</p><p><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*04uqznkUW7OEiw1StVvh3g.png" /></p><p>We achieved that breakthrough in February of this year. In a testament to Polkadex’s commitment to research &amp; development, we were able to <strong>completely remove</strong> the enclave out of the Orderbook architecture and replaced it with a client-side, validator-run program (orderbook-worker). With Polkadex Orderbook v2, all trades and balances are now maintained by Polkadex validators, thereby inheriting the same level of security as the runtime (on-chain state).</p><h4>How does the new v2 architecture work?</h4><p>In short, all trades and other relevant messages from the Orderbook engine, like deposits and withdrawals, are sent to this worker. The Polkadex validators gossip these messages around and verify user balances until reaching consensus. At that point, validators will generate a “snapshot” of the current state–including user balances at that point in time–and send it to the chain. Once it is finalized on-chain, the user balances in the snapshot are also finalized and can never be reverted.</p><p>Thanks to v2, full nodes have the latest on-chain state, which means that if the exchange operator were ever to be compromised, Orderbook users could recover balances by running a full node (and getting the on-chain governance to switch to that full node). The recovery method in this case would roughly be as follows: on-chain council loses trust in the exchange operator and votes to enable recovery mode, recovery mode removes the operator, and the on-chain council decides whether to set up a new operator or trigger withdrawals from trading accounts in the Orderbook pallet to users’ main accounts.</p><p><strong>v2 is just the beginning</strong></p><p>v2 will provide Polkadex Orderbook with the reliable backend it needs right before the listing of DotSama market pairs begins. Pending a runtime upgrade, a mainnet deployment of Orderbook v2 along with THEA is currently scheduled for the back half of June. Work on listings will take place in parallel as the <a href="https://twitter.com/polkadex/status/1662168678434222080?s&#61;20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recently upgraded Polkadex parachain</a> begins the process of <a href="https://twitter.com/polkadex/status/1664452718545764355?s&#61;20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">connecting to other Polkadot parachains via XCM channel openings.</a></p><h3 id="polkadex-orderbook-v1-to-v2-migration">Polkadex Orderbook v1 to v2 Migration</h3><p>In the meantime, <strong>the current version of Polkadex Orderbook (v1) will go offline on June 12th</strong> as the exchange migrates to v2. For current Polkadex Orderbook users, this means all open orders will be cancelled and any remaining funds currently on your trading account will be withdrawn automatically into your main account (aka your Polkadex address). If you have cUSDT (USDT bridged from Ethereum via ChainBridge), you may either trade it to PDEX before June 12th or use the <a href="https://tokenmanager.polkadex.trade/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ChainBridge option on the Token Manager</a> interface to return your USDT to your Ethereum address before August.</p><blockquote><strong><a href="https://polkadex.medium.com/heads-up-validators-polkadex-v5-0-0-is-here-ade9c0bd619b" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hot on the heels of yesterday’s v5.0.0 release,</a></strong> <strong>today’s testnet launch is another important step on the way to a truly interoperable liquid order-book based, non-custodial exchange for all crypto traders.</strong>Whether you’ve been a Polkadexer since day one or you have just discovered what we are building, we thank you for all your support as we attempt to bring forth a new era of trading.</blockquote><p><em>&#x1f4b9; <a href="https://www.polkadex.trade/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a> | <a href="https://orderbook.polkadex.trade/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Polkadex Orderbook</a> | <a href="https://https//tokenmanager.polkadex.trade/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Token Manager</a></em></p><p><em>&#x1f310; <a href="https://twitter.com/polkadex" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://t.me/Polkadex" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TG Chat</a> | <a href="https://t.me/PolkadexAnnouncements" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TG Announcements</a> | <a href="https://polkadex.medium.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Medium</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6fXRDT4lLKlXG3gP0PP06Q" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Youtube</a> | <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/polkadex/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Reddit</a> | <a href="https://discord.com/invite/Uvua83QAzk" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Discord</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/69690544/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Linkedin</a> | <a href="https://t.me/Polkadex_Spanish" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spanish community</a> | <a href="https://t.me/Polkadex_Turkish" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Turkish community</a> | <a href="https://t.me/polkadexindia" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Indian community</a> | <a href="https://t.me/PolkadexRussian" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Russian community</a> | <a href="https://t.me/PolkadexCN" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Chinese community</a> | <a href="https://t.me/PolkadexGerman" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">German community</a></em></p><h3 id="em-__________-em"><em>          __________</em></h3><h3 id="testing-guides">Testing guides</h3><p>Polkadexers can test everything in this new testnet release at their own convenience.
