⚡ Zero-knowledge proofs on Orbinum now verify natively.
Every shield, private transfer and unshield carries a Groth16 proof. Since spec 19, the node checks it in native code instead of inside the Wasm runtime: same math, same result, about 4× faster.
Less CPU per private operation, more room for private traffic.
Same proofs. Faster checks.

🌲 The first tree of the Merkle Forest is almost sealed.
Tree #0 is at 95.10%: 997,144 of 1,048,576 commitments. Once it's full, it gets sealed and Tree #1 takes over.
Ahead of that, our private transfer circuits have been upgraded to v3. They can prove notes from any tree, active or sealed, so shielded ORB keeps moving no matter where it lives.

🛡️ Road to mainnet: we're preparing the snapshot.
To reach it clean, we've updated sign-up and sign-in for the Community Program. Every member now connects a Google account, one per member, so the snapshot counts real people, not bots.
No account has been lost.
🔹 Already registered with your wallet? Continue with Google, then sync the same wallet. Your credits, streaks and referrals come with you.
🔹 New here? Continue with Google and register with your wallet.
Step-by-step guide → https://t.co/1X0C0daOns
🪂 We've also updated the Season 1 airdrop unlock:
🔹 20% at TGE
🔹 The remaining 80% vests linearly over 6 months
Details → https://t.co/9IFANILgD5
Why: to protect early investors and cut airdrop farming, so the snapshot rewards real users with genuine interest in Orbinum.

🛡️ Shield, proven.
Every deposit into the shielded pool now carries its own zero-knowledge proof: the note you create is worth exactly what you paid. Nothing more, nothing less.
The chain checks that proof before a single ORB moves.
That closes the loop. All three moves in the shielded pool are now verified by ZK proofs on-chain:
🔹 Shield → proven
🔹 Private transfer → proven
🔹 Unshield → proven
Nothing changes on your side: same wallet, same flow. The app generates the proof for you in seconds.

🛡️Privacy has more than one path.
Our Head of Strategy & Growth, @RHEEUNION, has launched Privacy Chains Decoded, a 10-part series exploring how Orbinum differs from the projects shaping the privacy ecosystem.
#1 Zcash
The origins of the shielded-pool model and the lessons 2026 brought to ZK privacy.
#2 Monero
A fundamentally different approach: mandatory privacy through ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT.
Two different architectures. Different trade-offs. Different answers to the same question:
What should privacy look like on-chain?

🛡️ Validator docs updated.
We know many of you want to run a validator on Orbinum. The testnet has 32 validator slots, and we'll fill them gradually.
To be considered, your node must keep running:
🔹 Watchtower, for automatic updates
🔹 Orbinum Telemetry at verbosity 1
🔹 Hardware benchmarks, reported on startup
We monitor uptime, sync status, and benchmarks through Telemetry, along with the hosting provider and region.

🛡️ Three new validators joined the Orbinum Testnet.
Welcome @AuroraXnode, @NodeStake_top and @CodeBlockLabs , experienced infrastructure teams from across the ecosystem, now securing the network and producing blocks.
🔹 More validators, more decentralization
🔹 Independent operators, independent infrastructure
🔹 Every block visible on the explorer
More applications are in the queue, we'll keep reviewing and onboarding new validators over the coming weeks. Applied? Watch your inbox.

Privacy is being tested in the real world. 🌐
#Orbinum #Testnet #ZK #Privacy #Substrate #Web3
🌐 First step to crosschain: we connected to Gargantua.
Gargantua is the current testnet environment for the @hyperbridge network. Orbinum now talks to it.
Soon you'll be able to use it yourself and complete new crosschain quests.
Stay tuned 👀

🌐 Something new is coming to Orbinum.
Hyperbridge is coming.
A bridge between Orbinum and the rest of the ecosystem.
🔹 Cross-chain communication.
🔹 More connectivity.
🔹 More possibilities.
This is just a teaser ⚡
