๐ก 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:
๐ https://t.co/8ed23aU1pX
Block height, finalized blocks, peers, propagation time and location, live for every node on the network.
๐ ๏ธ You can run one too.
Validator onboarding is coming. In the meantime, spin up your own RPC node and test against the real network:
๐ 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.

๐งพ 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:
๐น Make a private transfer from your vault
๐น A payment slip is generated with the transfer
๐น Share it with the recipient, any channel you like
๐น 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.
๐ How payment slips work โ https://t.co/UFxgSoVrDB
๐Try it โ https://t.co/x7O5krYAdR
Private by default. Instant by design.

โ๏ธ 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.
๐น Every circuit we ship is attack surface: more audits, more maintenance, more places for vulnerabilities to hide
๐น Cross-chain identity linking was pulling energy away from what actually matters
๐น 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.
๐ฆ 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.

โก Three weeks of Orbinum Testnet.
Week two accelerated. Week three doubled down:
๐น 300,000+ blocks produced
๐น 91,000+ transactions, up 69% from week two
๐น 154,000+ commitment leaves in the Merkle tree, up 103%
๐น 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.
๐ 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.

โก Two weeks of Orbinum Testnet.
Week one set the bar. Week two blew past it:
๐น 200,000+ blocks produced
๐น 54,000+ transactions, up 170% from week one
๐น 76,000+ commitment leaves in the Merkle tree, up 230%
๐น 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.
๐ 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.
๐น Keep stacking ORB Credits

The $BOS Token ๐
Bringing Bitcoin to DeFi.
BitcoinOS runs on zero-knowledge proofs that verify smart contracts directly on Bitcoin.
Each proof requires computation, and that computation is paid for in BTC.
The BOS Token will coordinate this process, ensuring the system operates securely, efficiently, and at scale.
It is the incentive layer that powers the verification economy of programmable Bitcoin.
Network Value Creation โ๏ธ
Every chain and every dApp that integrates with BOS rolls its transactions up to Bitcoin mainnet using ZK proofs.
These computations will be intensive and must be verified by the network, creating continuous demand for computation and coordination.
The BOS Token underpins this system, rewarding those who maintain its operation and integrity.
As the network scales, more smart contracts and more proofs flow through BOS, expanding its economic role within Bitcoinโs new programmable layer.
BOS value will grow with network adoption, not speculation.
Each proof verified strengthens Bitcoinโs position as the foundation for decentralized economies.
zkBTC and Institutional Growth ๐๏ธ
zkBTC operates on the same ZK proof infrastructure, bringing native Bitcoin liquidity into programmable use while preserving Bitcoinโs security.
Through Grail Pro, institutions will be able to deploy programmable Bitcoin without custody risk.
As BTC flows through Grail Pro and other BOS-powered protocols, the system establishes itself as the trusted foundation for institutional Bitcoin finance.
Each proof. Each integration. Each dApp.
All building toward Bitcoinโs evolution into a global settlement network.
The network is awakening.
From here, Bitcoin evolves. ๐
