GIANT is incredibly excited to announce the release of the first major update to our testnet blockchain and dapp. GIANT Protocol was founded to democratize access to the internet and financial services. That means global, seamless payments, and it means an easy-to-use, accessible user experience. This release takes us a big step closer to fulfilling those promises.

In this release you’ll find credit card and USDC payment. Now anyone can buy a data package and mint a DCT using their Visa, Mastercard, or American Express credit card. Or for those without a credit card, GIANT now accepts payment in USDC on Ethereum, Solana, and many other layer-1 blockchains. And whether you pay with credit card or USDC, you still earn up to 40% back in GIANT token rewards on every purchase.

This release includes a wallet-less purchase flow on top of many bug fixes and optimizations to the user experience. This now means anyone can purchase DCTs with GIANT, even if you don’t have a wallet. Just enter your email to receive a unique URL for your DCT purchase so you can claim your GIANT rewards later.

Thank you to our GIANT community who provided feedback on Testnet 1.0. Many of the improvements and bug fixes are thanks to you!
