Test network · wallet in testing
A payment onlytwo people can read.
Tint is a blockchain where the sender, the recipient and the amount are hidden by zero-knowledge proofs. Tint Wallet is its iPhone wallet, and it works with Tint, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum and Polygon.
Test network: the coins have no value. The iPhone wallet is still in testing.
What Tint is
A blockchain where payments are not on display
On most blockchains anyone can open an explorer and see who paid whom and how much. On Tint the network checks a payment without reading what is in it.
Every coin has its own shielded pool
TINT and TUSD are kept in separate pools of notes. A payment in one coin does not touch the notes of the other.
Proof instead of trust
Mathematics checks the payment: the Halo 2 proofs of the Orchard protocol need no trusted setup. Nodes verify a payment without reading it.
The fee is paid in the coin you send
No separate coin to hold for gas. Send TUSD and the fee is in TUSD too.
Privacy, plainly
What the network sees, and what it does not
One payment from two sides. Switch the view and watch which fields are covered. We do not promise “complete anonymity”: the exact list is below.
- Sender
- tint1q8w…x4f2
- Recipient
- tint1k7d…p9ra
- Amount
- 25.00 TINT
- Memo
- coffee
- Fee
- 0.00005 TINT
- Proof
- valid ✓
The network confirms that the payment is honest and no coin is spent twice, and it records only the fee and the proof.
Public
- the fee of every payment, and the fact that a payment happened
- the total supply of each coin
- for a swap, the two amounts that pass through the pool (but not who swapped)
- the network address a payment reached the node from: the node's operator sees it
Hidden
- who sent and who received
- how many coins a payment holds
- the memo of a payment
- which notes are being spent
Tint Wallet
One wallet for Tint and four more networks
Tint Wallet for iPhone keeps your private Tint notes and your accounts on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum and Polygon, with USDT and USDC. One 24-word recovery phrase for all of it.
Switch networks with one tap
Tint, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Polygon. One address for all four Ethereum-family networks and a separate one on Tint; USDT and USDC stay where you received them.
Swap TINT ⇄ TUSD
The exchange pool is built into the network itself. The fee is 0.3%. The two amounts of a swap are public, and the wallet says so on screen.
A bridge to Ethereum and BNB Chainsoon
TUSD ⇄ USDT. On the Sepolia and BSC Testnet test networks first. Today the bridge is custodial; see the documentation.
Phishing protection in the browser
The built-in browser checks a site's address against known scam sites and against imitations of well-known wallets and exchanges, and blocks ads and trackers. It is not a guarantee: only the address is checked.
Keys stay on the phone
A 24-word recovery phrase, a passcode and Face ID or Touch ID. The node receives a finished payment and never sees keys or amounts.
Memos on payments
A payment can carry a short memo of up to 512 bytes. It is encrypted so that only the recipient can read it.

How it works
The path of one payment
Four steps from tapping Send to the money arriving.
- 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
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
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
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.
Network
The network today
Facts about the test network. There are no live counters here: this page never contacts the node.
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 worksThe 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”.
Is this real money?
No. This is a test network: the coins have no value, the network can be reset, and the code has not been independently audited. Do not send real money to it.
Is Tint fully anonymous?
No, and we do not say so. The sender, the recipient and the amount of a payment are hidden. The fee, the total supply and the amounts of swaps are public, and a node operator sees the network address a payment came from. More in the security model.
Where can I download the wallet?
Nowhere yet: Tint Wallet for iPhone is in closed testing on TestFlight, by invitation. It is not in the App Store and there is no public link.
How is it different from Zcash?
Tint uses the same Orchard scheme (Halo 2), but it is a separate network with its own blocks, proof-of-stake, several coins and a built-in exchange.
For now, the docs
The wallet is available to a small circle of testers. Read how the coins, the exchange and the bridge work, and how to run a node of your own.
