Stage 3: Pre-launch
After building your DLP, the next phase is to prepare for launch and integrate with the broader Vana ecosystem. This stage is critical for ensuring smooth operations, setting up token liquidity, and running essential validations before moving to mainnet.
📡 Step 1: Integrate with DEX & Governance
Before your DLP goes live, ensure that it’s whitelisted for trading on Vana’s DEX and included in relevant governance processes.
✅ Key Actions
- DEX Whitelisting: To list your DLP token on Vana’s DataDEX (powered by Uniswap), contact the Vana team for whitelisting. This ensures your token can be traded and provides liquidity to support buy-ins under VRC-14.
- 📧 Contact: Reach out via Vana Builders Discord.
- Governance Considerations: While optional for launch, you may choose to define governance policies for your DLP to enable voting or data monetization changes in the future.
📣 Step 2: Marketing and Community Building
Building a successful DLP isn’t just about smart contracts and data processing — it’s about engaging a strong community of contributors and consumers.
🎯 Goal
- Build awareness and attract both data contributors and data buyers.
- Create incentive mechanisms that sustain long-term participation.
❓ Questions to Consider
-
Who are your early adopters?
Are they individual users, AI developers, or data consumers?
-
How will you keep contributors engaged?
Consider using loyalty programs, tiered rewards, or gamification to maintain ongoing participation.
-
Which channels will you leverage?
Use Twitter, Telegram, industry forums, and AI/crypto communities to engage your audience and create awareness.
🔎 Step 3: Test, Verify & Launch on Mainnet
Before launching on mainnet, comprehensive testing and verification are required to ensure contract security, query reliability, and token liquidity.
🎯 Goal
- Confirm that your DLP complies with VRC-14, VRC-15, and VRC-20.
- Test query access, data refinement, and token buy-ins in a real-world environment.
- Ensure that your token liquidity can handle daily buy-ins without high slippage.
✅ Key Actions
- Testnet Deployment
- Deploy to Moksha and test data queries, proof-of-contribution, and token functionality.
- Simulate a variety of query conditions and ensure refinement logic produces valid results.
- Mainnet Launch
- Deploy your DLP Smart Contract and DLP Token on the mainnet.
- Verify your contracts on Vanascan to ensure public visibility and compliance.
- Liquidity Setup for Token Buy-Ins
- Seed enough liquidity in your DEX pair to prevent excessive slippage during VRC-14 token buy-ins.
- Monitor initial liquidity performance and consider adjusting if slippage exceeds 2% during buy-ins.
- Tip: Aim for at least $10,000–$50,000 of initial liquidity to handle moderate buy volumes.
- Simulate Query & Data Usage
- Test queries in a TEE environment and confirm that data retrieval and decryption work as expected.
- Validate payments and fee collection to ensure compliance with onchain query logic.
- Liquidity Dry-Run
- Perform a small-scale liquidity dry-run to test VRC-14 token buy-ins.
- Confirm that your pool can absorb buy-ins without causing significant price fluctuations.
- Action: If slippage exceeds 2%, add additional liquidity to stabilize the pool.
