It seems either the team, or some users, have found a way to cheat in the @idOS_network Arena game.If the ALL IN is in your favour, you hardly win. It keeps turning, waiting for the opponent, until it is cancelled. If it is not, you lose your points immediately. What's happening?
🚀 Testnet is live. Privacy is on-chain.
Orbinum Testnet is open. Shield, transfer privately, unshield, zero-knowledge proofs, running now.
Start here:
🔹 Get ORB from the faucet → https://t.co/yGGOgORUuU
🔹 Run your first quest → https://t.co/PodOd9EKAW
🔹 Watch it land on-chain → 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.

📡 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.

📡 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.

⚡ 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.
📖 How payment slips work → https://t.co/UFxgSoVrDB
🔗Try it → https://t.co/x7O5krYAdR
Private by default. Instant by design.
#Orbinum #Testnet #ZK #Privacy #Web3 #Wallet #BuildInPublic
🔓 Unshield to any address.
Withdrawals used to land in your own wallet. Now you pick: paste any Substrate (SS58) or EVM address.
The proof always treated the recipient as a public input, the interface was the part that assumed it was you. Shield from EVM, withdraw to Substrate. Or the reverse.
Note: the destination is public on-chain. The pool keeps your history private, the exit is visible. A fresh address keeps it that way.
⚡ Three extra on-chain quests
Shield, private transfer, and unshield now each have an optional counterpart, 15 credits, 3 per week, once per day.
They don't touch your streak, so missing one costs nothing. Each needs its own transaction.
🔹 Faucet now drips 5 ORB, down from 10. Same 24h cooldown. More testers, same tap, better it keeps flowing than runs dry.
🔹 Seed Sale is closed. $0.014 was the earliest price there will ever be. Thank you to everyone who came in early.
The testnet keeps running. Credits still convert at mainnet.

✂️ 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.
🔹 Every circuit we ship is attack surface: more audits, more maintenance, more places for vulnerabilities to hide
🔹 Cross-chain identity linking was pulling energy away from what actually matters
🔹 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.
📦 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.

🔧 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 🧪

🔍 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
