✂️ Less surface. More focus.
We just removed the private_link circuit and the entire account-mapping implementation from Orbinum. Runtime upgraded, circuit retired, on-chain registry purged, npm package cleaned.
Why remove a feature? Because focus is a feature.
🔹 Every circuit we ship is attack surface: more audits, more maintenance, more places for vulnerabilities to hide
🔹 Cross-chain identity linking was pulling energy away from what actually matters
🔹 Our core is the shielded pool, and it deserves 100% of our ZK effort
And here's the thing: the shielded pool already does the connecting. Today you can send a private transfer from an EVM address to an SS58 (Substrate) address, seamlessly. Tomorrow? Maybe a Solana address. The pool is the bridge, no extra circuits, no identity mapping, no added surface. That's the direction we're doubling down on.
The rest of that effort goes where you feel it: solving real problems like fast note recovery, hardening the proving pipeline, and scaling the pool.
Three circuits. One mission. Shield, transfer, unshield. Private by default, across address types.
📦 Updated package: https://t.co/ol2u8cVaI3
The testnet keeps running, the pool keeps growing, and the codebase just got lighter and safer.
Cut deep, build focused.

⚡ Three weeks of Orbinum Testnet.
Week two accelerated. Week three doubled down:
🔹 300,000+ blocks produced
🔹 91,000+ transactions, up 69% from week two
🔹 154,000+ commitment leaves in the Merkle tree, up 103%
🔹 67,000+ ORB in the shielded pool, up 131%
The shielded pool didn't just grow. It more than doubled. In seven days, you added more ORB to the pool than in the first two weeks combined.
📈 But growth comes with a challenge, and we're facing it head-on.
As commitment leaves pile up, note scanning gets slower: every wallet has to sift through more and more of the tree to find its own notes. This is the problem every privacy blockchain before us has hit, and none has truly solved. It's our top priority: a unique solution that recovers the notes of any address instantly, no matter how big the tree gets. The multi-tree forest removed the ceiling on capacity. This removes the ceiling on speed.

⚡ Two weeks of Orbinum Testnet.
Week one set the bar. Week two blew past it:
🔹 200,000+ blocks produced
🔹 54,000+ transactions, up 170% from week one
🔹 76,000+ commitment leaves in the Merkle tree, up 230%
🔹 29,000+ ORB in the shielded pool, up 164%
The network didn't just keep running. It accelerated. More than half of everything on-chain happened in the last seven days alone.
📈 And that growth forced our hand, in the best way possible.
We didn't expect to fill the shielded pool this fast. At this pace, the current Merkle tree would hit its capacity ceiling far sooner than planned. So we're getting ahead of it: Orbinum is upgrading its privacy layer to a multi-tree forest. When a tree fills up, a new one opens. No caps, no limits, no ceiling on privacy. The pool scales as fast as you do.
Every new leaf is someone shielding a note. Every transaction is someone choosing privacy by default. You're not testing a network, you're building one. And now, one that's built to never run out of room.
Thank you to everyone shielding, transferring, sharing disclosure keys, and grinding the quests daily. Keep breaking things. Keep telling us.
🔹 Keep stacking ORB Credits
🔹 Keep your on-chain streak alive
🔹 Keep the pool growing

Two weeks in. Orbinum keeps compounding, and now, so does its capacity.
#Orbinum #Testnet #ZK #Privacy #Web3 #Crypto #EVM #Blockchain #DeFi #Community #Milestone #Scaling
⚙️ Runtime upgrade live on Orbinum Testnet.
Multi-Tree Forest is shipped. The 1,048,576-note ceiling is gone.
When a Merkle tree fills up, the network seals it and opens a fresh one, automatically. Sealed trees keep a permanent root, so every note inside stays spendable forever. No caps, no migration, no action needed from you.
Zero changes to circuits or transaction formats. Your wallet didn't need an update. It just kept working
📊 Where we stand: 88,000+ commitments, 8.4% of the first tree. The first rollover is roughly a million notes away, we built it before we needed it, which is the only time worth building it.
Privacy that stops scaling stops being privacy. This one doesn't stop.

🔓 Unshield to any address.
Withdrawals used to land in your own wallet. Now you pick: paste any Substrate (SS58) or EVM address.
The proof always treated the recipient as a public input, the interface was the part that assumed it was you. Shield from EVM, withdraw to Substrate. Or the reverse.
Note: the destination is public on-chain. The pool keeps your history private, the exit is visible. A fresh address keeps it that way.
⚡ Three extra on-chain quests
Shield, private transfer, and unshield now each have an optional counterpart, 15 credits, 3 per week, once per day.
They don't touch your streak, so missing one costs nothing. Each needs its own transaction.
🔹 Faucet now drips 5 ORB, down from 10. Same 24h cooldown. More testers, same tap, better it keeps flowing than runs dry.
🔹 Seed Sale is closed. $0.014 was the earliest price there will ever be. Thank you to everyone who came in early.
The testnet keeps running. Credits still convert at mainnet.

🔧 Testnet update: private keys are now derived differently.
If your shielded notes look missing after this update, they're not lost, they're just tied to the old key. Re-shield and you're good.
👇 Migrating old notes was possible, but it meant building a whole recovery flow for testnet funds that carry no value. We'd rather spend that time on what's next.
Testnet is where things break, get fixed, and get better. Thanks for testing with us 🧪

🎉 One week of Orbinum Testnet.
Seven days ago the network went live. Here's what you built:
🔹 100,000+ blocks produced
🔹 ~20,000 transactions
🔹 23,000+ commitment leaves in the Merkle tree
🔹 11,000+ ORB sitting in the shielded pool
Every one of those leaves is a note someone shielded. Every one of those transactions is a person choosing privacy over default transparency. That's not a metric, that's a community.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, shielded, transferred, unshielded, shared disclosure keys, filed bug reports, and kept the quests running day after day. The network is stronger because you stress-tested it.
And we're just getting started. Plenty of announcements are coming, so keep an eye on this space.
🔹 Keep stacking ORB Credits
🔹 Keep your on-chain streak alive
🔹 Keep telling us what breaks
