π Testnet is live. Privacy is on-chain.
Orbinum Testnet is open. Shield, transfer privately, unshield, zero-knowledge proofs, running now.
Start here:
πΉ Get ORB from the faucet β https://t.co/yGGOgORUuU
πΉ Run your first quest β https://t.co/PodOd9EKAW
πΉ Watch it land on-chain β https://t.co/7s1Idulv4S
Testnet Quests are live too. Four quests, repeatable daily, every action earns ORB Credits, and every credit converts to ORB at mainnet.
Shield, transfer, unshield to keep your streak alive. Selective disclosure rewards you for sharing.

ποΈ We realigned the roadmap with where we actually are.
The public-sale moves from Q3 to Q4, next to mainnet and the TGE. It happens after the legal entity exists and after the first audits land, that order matters more than the date.
Q3 is now legal incorporation, initial audits, validator onboarding with telemetry, and ecosystem integration.

@aleeasghar78 If you migrated from an EVM wallet to a Substrate address with Talisman, you need to connect using Talisman and log in with your new Substrate address.

All of it organic. You found us on your own, and you stayed.
Thank you. Really.
π To everyone building, testing, and asking hard questions, this one is yours.

π Talisman now pays more.
Link a Talisman Substrate address to your Orbinum account and every on-chain quest pays +5 credits.
It is also the safest way to use Orbinum. Your private identity comes from an origin-bound signature we built with the Talisman team: the wallet supplies the origin, not the page asking for it, so a hostile site gets different bytes and whatever it derives controls nothing. An EVM signature cannot do that. Substrate can.
πΉ Install Talisman β https://t.co/IbAo1yDK8P
πΉ Create a new Substrate address
πΉ In your account, open the Wallet tab and update your linked wallet
πΉ Sign in again and start earning +5 per quest
Your private notes stay with the wallet that holds them, so move funds yourself before switching. You can switch back anytime.
π Thanks to @wearetalisman for building this with us.

No, validators need to be added to the validator set before they can start producing blocks. This process also allows us to get to know the people interested in participating in the network. Initially, this is necessary for network security and to maintain an organized validator set.
π‘οΈ Validator onboarding is open.
Now they can become part of the network for real: applications for the Orbinum Testnet validator set are open.
Testnet validators are the ones we will know. Uptime, responsiveness, how a node behaves when the network is under load, none of that can be assessed from an application form. It is earned by running one. The operators who secure testnet are the operators we will turn to first for mainnet.
π What it takes:
πΉ A server with dedicated CPU, ZK verification runs inside block execution
πΉ Session keys registered on-chain
πΉ Your node visible on telemetry, this one is required
πΉ An email to [email protected]
π https://t.co/BVooQQ4tCF
We also rewrote the node documentation from scratch. Everything about running a node now lives in one place, whichever role you want:

π To everyone already running a node: this is the step we told you was coming.

π Orbinum: runtime + SDK migration shipped.
Runtime first: validator onboarding moved off-chain, and registering an EVM relay address is now self-service with proof of key ownership. Relay fees are attributed by dispatch origin instead of a call argument, there's no field left for someone to rewrite and claim a fee they never paid for. That's the groundwork for onboarding community validators.
SDK next, and this is the bigger one. Every secret now derives as a sibling branch of the master key instead of a chain. Before, the key that FINDS your notes descended from the key that SPENDS them, you couldn't hand out one without the other.
Separating them unlocks:
πΉ Watch-only wallets, a viewing credential that cannot spend, enforced by the type system
πΉ Granular upgrades, spending keys, payment slips and viewing keys can now evolve independently
πΉ Payment slip recovery
That last one: a slip is sealed toward the recipient, so the sender never held a readable copy. Send it, lose it, note gone. Now your wallet recovers the public facts from chain and seals a fresh envelope with identical contents, without ever reading the original.
You can re-share any note you've ever sent. And sender history is exact, not inferred from "inputs minus change minus fee".
Nothing extra goes on chain for any of it.
οΏ½οΏ½οΈ Breaking identity change: notes are committed under an owner key, so re-deriving orphans them. Unshield before upgrading.

π‘ Orbinum Testnet: infrastructure update.
We have been working on network architecture and node infrastructure to improve stability, and we just expanded Orbinum's own validator infrastructure with additional nodes.
More validators means more fault tolerance: the network now keeps finalizing even if one of them goes down.
π https://t.co/8ed23aU1pX
And thank you to everyone already running a node with us. Several community nodes are on the dashboard right now, and validator onboarding is getting closer, those nodes will officially become part of the Orbinum network.
π οΈ Not running one yet? Spin up your own RPC node and test against the real network:
π https://t.co/4vVy9ZwC4e
Copy an .env.example, fill in a few variables, docker compose up.

π‘ Orbinum Testnet telemetry is live.
Our nodes are up and running on the new setup, all of them deployed from node-deploy. See them here:
π https://t.co/8ed23aU1pX
Block height, finalized blocks, peers, propagation time and location, live for every node on the network.
π οΈ You can run one too.
Validator onboarding is coming. In the meantime, spin up your own RPC node and test against the real network:
π https://t.co/4vVy9ZwC4e
Copy an .env.example, fill in a few variables, docker compose up. The image ships from GHCR and the chain spec is already in the repo, so there is nothing to build. Your node joins the testnet and shows up on the dashboard next to ours.
Spin one up and tell us what breaks.

β‘ Four weeks of Orbinum Testnet.
Week three doubled down. Week four kept the pace:
πΉ 400,000+ blocks produced
πΉ 132,000+ transactions, up 45% from week three
πΉ 244,000+ commitment leaves in the Merkle tree, up 58%
πΉ 91,000+ ORB in the shielded pool, up 36%
Four straight weeks of compounding growth. The shielded pool has grown every single week since day one, and the tree is now 244K leaves deep.
π Four weeks. Zero interruptions. And that's on you.
Every transaction you send, every note you shield, every bug you report tells us something we couldn't learn any other way. Real usage at real scale is what exposes the rough edges, and you've been finding them for us week after week. That feedback is going straight back into the protocol: faster flows, smoother wallet experience, fewer surprises. This is exactly what a testnet is for, and it's why Orbinum will reach mainnet solid instead of hopeful. Thank you for building it with us.
