After months of development, testing, and debugging new features on Drift v2, devnet is now open to everyone for testing ahead of our mainnet launch!

We’ve lifted all restrictions moving forward on devnet and no access code is required.

We are extremely grateful to the Drift community for all the valuable contributions & feedback during closed devnet allowing us to craft the best trading experience possible for our users.

1. Head over to Drift v2 on devnet here: https://drift-devnet.vercel.app

2. In your Phantom wallet, change your network settings to ‘Devnet’ under ‘Developer Settings.’

‍

3. Connect your wallet to Drift.

4. Select the ‘Deposit’ button to airdrop yourself devnet SOL & USDC.
