📦 One package to read Orbinum. Zero ability to spend.
The new Orbinum protocol package is live → https://t.co/sglWFHqqzf
Chain access, addresses, encoding, payment slips, selective disclosure. No key derivation, no vault, no proof witness, that code is not in the package.
The old Orbinum SDK is discontinued. It shipped custody to every dapp that only wanted to read the chain. Vault now lives on its own, so wallets get built separately from the apps that talk to them.

📩 Somebody paid you and nobody told you.
On a public chain the ledger announces your money. Orbinum does not, and that is the point. The note is on-chain, encrypted toward you, sitting among every other commitment.
So your wallet has to go looking. A full Rescan always works, but it walks the whole pool.
A payment slip skips that. The sender already knows which note is yours, so they hand you the string. You paste it, the note rebuilds, no scan. No spend power, no leak, opt-in by the sender.

🗓️ 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.

Still learning the Technocore flow around @flop_labs.
The simple version:
1. make a unique DID
2. save the identity file safely
3. say hello in lobby
4. publish something useful later

All of it organic. You found us on your own, and you stayed.
Thank you. Really.

🔐 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.
🔹 Install Talisman → https://t.co/IbAo1yDK8P
🔹 Create a new Substrate address
🔹 In your account, open the Wallet tab and update your linked wallet
🔹 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.
🙌 Thanks to @wearetalisman for building this with us.

🛡️ 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.
📋 What it takes:
🔹 A server with dedicated CPU, ZK verification runs inside block execution
🔹 Session keys registered on-chain
🔹 Your node visible on telemetry, this one is required
🔹 An email to [email protected]
🔗 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:

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

🔐 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:
🔹 Watch-only wallets, a viewing credential that cannot spend, enforced by the type system
🔹 Granular upgrades, spending keys, payment slips and viewing keys can now evolve independently
🔹 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.
⚠️ Breaking identity change: notes are committed under an owner key, so re-deriving orphans them. Unshield before upgrading.

📡 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.

📡 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:

⚡ 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.

🔒 Runtime upgrade is live on Orbinum testnet.
Security hardening. A batch of audit fixes landed in the shielded pool. Full detail in the PR 👇
🔗 https://t.co/bw3rJ8xEhQ
🔹 No more shield minimum. You used to need a whole token. Now shield any non-zero amount, down to a single unit.
🔹 Note backups. We removed automatic scanning. Export your notes as a JSON file and import them on any of your devices, no chain scan. The backup holds only public data, no spending keys, so it grants nothing on its own.
Rescan still works from the chain, but now it's a manual fallback, for lost storage or a fresh device, not the default.
