Facts about the test network. There are no live counters here: this page never contacts the node.

CoinsTINT · TUSDTINT is the native coin, TUSD a test dollar. Neither has any value.

The TUSD ⇄ USDT bridge is being prepared

The bridge contract for Ethereum and BNB Chain is being prepared for launch: first on the Sepolia and BSC Testnet test networks. Today the bridge is custodial: its signers release the funds.

How the bridge works

The public node is https://node.tint.top. It sends no CORS headers, so a browser page cannot call it, and this page shows nothing “live”.

How it works

The path of one payment

Four steps from tapping Send to the money arriving.

  1. 1

    The wallet builds the payment

    On the phone: it picks your notes, encrypts new ones for the recipient and builds a Halo 2 proof.

  2. 2

    A node checks it

    The node takes the finished payment over HTTPS, verifies the proof and queues it. It never sees keys or amounts.

  3. 3

    Validators write a block

    Validators (proof-of-stake) agree on a block. A block with a payment is built at once; a quiet network makes an empty block every 5 seconds.

  4. 4

    The recipient finds the note

    Their wallet reads the blocks and tries to decrypt every note with its key. One fits: the coins have arrived.
