sReleased Hydrogen (Q4 2024), Helium, and Carbon (Q1, Q2 2025) for the community as testnets with iterative changes to the Stacks App. Login through social media accounts (Twitter/X) to demonstrate easy access via Web2. Login with token-gated Geeq VIP Pass (on Blast) to demonstrate easy access via Web3. Held community contests for best Stacks! Easy-use wallet app within an app for token testnets and transactions was provided as a custodial wallet.

Responded to community requests for more features in Stacks App, e.g. new space for Titles. Also released and iterated on the Block Explorer to display the full Stacks with sequential images.

Also supported Oasis, a testnet for Geeq Labs partner Aitrex. Aitrex developed the non-custodial wallet SafeQeep. Users were able to test mints of NFTs and coin transactions directly from the Aitrex wallet, with optional encryption per transaction. Although Oasis was a separate chain, the Block Explorer worked across chains.

In summary, multiple testnets were launched, with Web2, Web3, cusodial, and non-custodial wallets. The Stacks app was designed as a pure Web2 experience with testnet tokens, mints of Stacks, communications, and transfers, while Oasis featured NFT mints. All transactions were contract-free and verifiable on-chain in human readable format.

These testnets represented a major public push to involve the community in testing how easy, immediate, and secure transactions of digital assets and coins are on Geeq.
