-This challenge will walk you through the step-by-step journey of creating and launching a liquidity pool dapp on Stellar, all while utilizing Soroban in a sandbox environment. You will learn how to deploy smart contracts to a sandbox environment, and how to interact with them through a web frontend. In this context, the term "ship" refers to finalizing the development process of your dapp, ensuring that it functions as expected, and is accessible for user interaction and testing through a hosted frontend. However, it's crucial to clarify that despite its functionality, the dapp is not promoted nor intended for deployment in a production-level setting on futurenet.
