Beta Testing Altera [DeFi Frontend of VSC]
<div class ='text-justify'>

It was as if I had been under a rock for a long while, and I was only learning about the Altera Defi Frontend testing by VSC, which was launched in May. After reading [the post](https://peakd.com/vsc/@vsc.network/breaking-join-the-altera-defi-frontend-testing-group), I joined VSC Discord and noticed that the testing group channel was already accessible to channel members, so I got to read back some information regarding the testing.

The curious me got on and started my little test.

**Frontend URL:** https://altera.vsc.eco/</div>

<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

One can login using Social accounts (Google, Email, X, Discord, etc) or through an EVM wallet (over 450 wallets including MetaMask, Trust Wallet etc) or Hive account (approvals via Keychain, Hive Auth, Ledger or Peak Vault).</div>

</center>
<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

I chose to use my alt account and approved the login with Keychain.</div>

<center>![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ifarmgirl/23vrrsYGhxd3RuhMKRJyGFEK4UoWX7Emg2kRwebNZjZcUynVRek96Ybsy8J1rjDQsUyDP.png)</center>
<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

Once in, some data on the homepage just keeps loading. Navigating through the other tabs and refreshing the page didn't help. I cannot even logout, until I disabled my browser's popup blocker and refreshed the page a few times.

Well, I somehow expected some issues as the site is on beta.</div>

<center>![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ifarmgirl/23swdkW9Mr3dTXiWmzJvNV7ZW5PAtVXgkxrvusMJTcCjt3Uw7J2ceX5r3yvm9sn4sCvJW.png)</center>
<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

Next was to test sending HIVE from Hive mainnet to VSC mainnet (Witness Assistant tab). The process didn't require any special actions, except entering the amount of HIVE I wanted to deposit and approved the transaction.</div>

<center>![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ifarmgirl/23swcDKBMpkN4xZA4tYg9BPP86Ya233oSXcExmAXfFWehCbgdCsuE9kzFvCoFrCUhixVV.png)</center>

<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

To verify if the deposit and staking was a success, I checked the **Transaction** tab and the records were there. Navigating to the Home tab, I saw the HIVE under the **Balances** on my dashboard.</div>

<center>![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ifarmgirl/23t74pE329D4rU1eywEU7EB7tzDs26tyfNaSFWZo1P62VDkuaR33KhCPtNMZ9ELAniRqB.png)</center>

<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

I checked it too on the Peakd frontend on VSC wallet and there it was. That was a nice and smooth transaction!</div>

<center>![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ifarmgirl/23vrrRupnpjj1fb3g3iBiPfKkY9y4YJ7PFb1XBT6SjSxYau8Zmhw5nidKBfYhJ9yzGFX8.png)</center>
<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

And next was to deposit HBD and stake it too. This time, I used the Send button (tab) on VSC frontend. The interface is user-friendly, if I may say so. One can simply choose what asset to send (HIVE, HBD, BTC), enter the amount and approve through Keychain.</div>

</center>
<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

After confirming the deposit, it was time to stake it on the VSC mainnet. Clicked on "Staking", typed in the amount, then clicked "Stake" and approve the transaction on Keychain. Easy peasy!</div>

<center>![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ifarmgirl/23swg9poJcWcFQBbK5MVgnRRZi6rwQJqYvMyq9CA2153r6BvPzD9hku1SnUAKLPkPsubZ.png)</center>
<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

The transaction was unconfirmed for a short while before it appeared on my balance.</div> 

<center>![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ifarmgirl/EnynYGtea3bTY3AA1Lf4Suxph7L59gZwGUmmdRsobxFTRmeeAPfBRUpacBzDcDXKboF.png)</center>

<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

From what I read, staking HBD on VSC also earns 15% APR, and the interest is auto-claimed once per month (the same with HBD Savings on Hive).

I'm interested in testing or experiencing the liquid version of Staked HBD (sHBD) when it launches on VSC. Surely, it will be an exciting feature or functionality.

Anyway, back to the Altera testing, I had a smooth experience using my Hive account, although I noticed some loading issues when switching from the "Home" menu to the others. I also encountered a minor error while trying to access the Transaction tab, but refreshing the page solved it.</div>

<center>![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ifarmgirl/Eo2BNsxqkgZVwWZGrs982mKmFLgA7AZwyXtFFZvPdH8MiVFRNjY3BuhQcDYLN77zHrH.png)</center>
<sbr>

<div class ='text-justify'>

Want to test it out too? Go for it! But first, I recommend reading the following posts by VSC:

- [Breaking News: Join the Altera DeFi Frontend Testing Group](https://peakd.com/vsc/@vsc.network/breaking-join-the-altera-defi-frontend-testing-group)
- [HBD Liquid Staking - Taking HBD to the Next Level](https://peakd.com/vsc/@vsc.network/hbd-liquid-staking-taking-hbd-to-the-next-level)
- Check also their [DHF Funding Proposal](https://peakd.com/vsc/@vsc.network/vsc-proposal-2025-smart-contracts-cross-chain-and-beyond) for 2025 and support it if you like what they are working on in the pipeline.

## Thank you and cheers!</div>

I also do not know what the use case of staked HIVE is on VSC. For staked HBD, it is my understanding that it gives resource credits on the frontend.

Nice testing round! One thing: consensus staking (and therefore the Witness Assistant option) is for witnesses on VSC. There isn't any utility for HIVE staking for regular users on VSC, as far as I know. But there is HBD staking, and it can be accessed from the staking tab here:

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gadrian/23t72xF9CwMg6g3JzbZNHkLk3LjVZ1LxDLqwi5rG1sx1rCaWtoskLE9t2U3Sx57T24PmB.png)

Right now, it's just normal HBD in savings, but they will have a smart contract sHBD&mdash;without the 3 days withdraw period&mdash;which will be more liquid than HBD in savings.

Thank you for clearing that out. Yes, I tried the HBD staking option with just 50 cents, lol! I can't wait for the launch of the sHBD.

I only added 1$ myself, lol. Kept 50c liquid and staked the rest. And with these operations I consumed about about 1/3 of my RCs on VSC. So... VSC is going to be a blackhole for HBD.

from my understanding is that you can unlock faster rather than waiting 3 days like regular HBD other than that the APR is the same 15%, I only unluck once a month so not really an advantage for me right now, migh consider when I go heavy on HBD in the future

That's awesome then! The HBD Liquid Staking sounds interesting to me and I would like to experience it when the feature becomes available.
