more validators, better fault tolerance. nice to see Orbinum keep hardening the network before mainnet 🔧

[Orbinum Network @orbinumnetwork]

📡 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.

🔗 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.

🛠️ Not running one yet? Spin up your own RPC node and test against the real network:

🔗 https://t.co/4vVy9ZwC4e

Copy an .env.example, fill in a few variables, docker compose up.

@dac_chain the update really made a difference, site loads way faster now and tx went through smooth with no lag. solid work on Inception

📡 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:

🔗 https://t.co/8ed23aU1pX

Block height, finalized blocks, peers, propagation time and location, live for every node on the network.

🛠️ You can run one too.

Validator onboarding is coming. In the meantime, spin up your own RPC node and test against the real network:

🔗 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.

what stands out about @dac_chain :
built with real business use in mind, not just speculation. infra that handles real transactions, backed by security designed to hold up long term.

quantum-resistant, built for what's coming. that's the part that gets me.

⚡ Four weeks of Orbinum Testnet.

Week three doubled down. Week four kept the pace:

🔹 400,000+ blocks produced
🔹 132,000+ transactions, up 45% from week three
🔹 244,000+ commitment leaves in the Merkle tree, up 58%
🔹 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.

🙌 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.

🧾 Payment Slips for private transfers.

Private transfers just got easier to receive. When you send from your Private Vault, you now get a payment slip, share it, and the recipient imports their funds instantly. No chain scanning on their side.

How it works:

🔹 Make a private transfer from your vault
🔹 A payment slip is generated with the transfer
🔹 Share it with the recipient, any channel you like
🔹 They import it and the funds appear. Done.

The slip holds only what the recipient needs to detect the note, no spending keys, so it grants nothing on its own.

⚡ 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.

⚙️ 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.

⚡ 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

🔧 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

🔍 The hardest problem in private money: finding your own notes.

In a shielded pool, no one can see which notes are yours, not even the network. Privacy by design. But it cuts both ways: your wallet can't just ask "which notes are mine?" without revealing exactly what privacy is supposed to hide.

So every wallet has to try-decrypt the entire pool. Every note, one by one. It's the scan problem, and every privacy chain has fought it: Monero shipped view tags, Zcash built compact blocks. Years of open research that we get to stand on, and push further.

Today we published Orbinum SDK 0.16.0, a major upgrade to note scanning:

🔹 View tags → a 1-byte filter skips 99.6% of foreign notes without decrypting
🔹 Self-note discovery → your own notes (shields, change) are recognized with zero trial decryption, a step we haven't seen any chain ship before
🔹 17× faster curve math on the scanning hot path
