Sagitta Protocol launched on Moonbase Alpha Testnet

Sagitta Protocol launched on Moonbase Alpha Testnet — the Moonbeam testnet — on 13 April 2026. The interface reports v0.1 active there.

Deposits on this deployment are Polkadot-native: DOT crosses into Moonbeam as xcDOT via XCM and is accepted directly by the Vault. That last clause is the substance of the milestone. Accepting a cross-consensus asset directly, rather than requiring a holder to bridge and wrap it into something the Vault already understood, means the custody and accounting layer treats an asset that arrived over XCM as a first-class deposit — with the same ownership record and the same accounting treatment as any other.

What this deployment demonstrates is therefore narrow and specific: that the Vault's deposit path works against a real cross-chain asset on a live network, with real transaction semantics rather than a local simulation. It does not demonstrate allocation performance, continuity behaviour under stress, or economic assumptions, none of which a testnet can evidence.

This is a testnet deployment. No mainnet deployment or contract addresses are published, and the protocol's operating state remains Public Test.

It is also one of two separate Protocol milestones. The Arc Testnet launch of 11 May 2026 is recorded on its own and the two are deliberately never merged into a single launch narrative.
