Testnet

The network is live on testnet.

VigiChain runs today as a multi-node testnet. Figures shown across this site are clearly marked as mock or devnet values and carry no real-world worth.

Network statusTestnet active · Mainnet locked

Founding node operators

The network is the people running it.

The testnet software is live and the network is opening now. There is no company server behind it — it grows only as independent operators come online, each mining and validating for themselves. Run a node and you don't use the network, you found it.

The fairest possible start

Zero premint. No allowlist. A public GPU bootstrap where every miner shares the same target. VIGI can only be mined — from block zero, on the same terms for everyone.

Post-quantum, proven by you

Your node validates every ML-DSA-65 / SLH-DSA block for itself. Running it under real conditions is the adversarial burn-in that stands between the testnet and an honest, audited mainnet.

Your machine, zero-cost

The node runs on hardware you already own and keeps consensus local. A free relay lets home operators behind NAT still peer. No company servers, no paid infrastructure.

Start a testnet node

# 1) Download the binary for your OS from the node repo's Releases,
#    then verify it against SHA256SUMS.

# 2) Linux — join the testnet (real PoW, tvigi1 addresses, no real value):
chmod +x vigichain-node-linux-x86_64
VIGI_NETWORK=testnet ./vigichain-node-linux-x86_64 start

# or mine testnet VIGI from block zero:
VIGI_NETWORK=testnet ./vigichain-node-linux-x86_64 mine

Public testnet — VIGI here carries no real value. Mainnet stays locked until an external security audit and sustained burn-in. Founding operators are how the network earns that GO.

The execution layer is a post-quantum rollup: L2 balances are native VIGI, backed 1:1 by VIGI locked on the L1 — the reserve is verifiable on-chain, not a claim. Withdrawals are trustless (optimistic challenge window or instant REEXECvalidity), and a fraudulent batch is provably reverted. This panel reads it every 20s and says offline when no node answers rather than pretending.

Fastest way to try it

No setup. Open the VigiSwap dApp (or VigiWallet), connect, claim test VIGI from the faucet and transact — every transfer is signed with a post-quantum key for you.

Add the network to an EVM wallet

For reading balances and binding your identity. Adding the chain lets MetaMask read the testnet; moving value still happens through the post-quantum path below.

EVM wallet — read & identity

01Add the network (button above). Your node must be running, or use a public seed RPC.
02Prove control of your EVM address: personal_sign the binding challenge from the node.
03Submit an EVM_BINDING signed by your post-quantum key to link the two addresses.

BTC wallet — identity binding

01Derive your Vigi ↔ BTC alias with the CLI.
02Sign the BTC binding challenge with your Bitcoin key.
03Submit the binding, signed by your post-quantum key.

Run a node (become a peer)

The testnet lives as long as peers are online. Run the node from your shell to join it, expose your own local RPC and help keep the network alive.

cargo run --release -- start

Get test VIGI

Request testnet coins from the faucet — they carry no real value.

POST /api/faucet  ·  vigi_requestFaucet

Security note: VigiChain deliberately rejects raw secp256k1 (MetaMask) and ECDSA (BTC) value transactions — consensus requires a post-quantum signature. EVM/BTC wallets are for reading and identity; value moves through VigiWallet, the VigiSwap dApp or the native path. Testnet only. Mainnet stays locked until validation is complete.

Status: active

A live testnet exercises mining, transactions, propagation and the full validation path.

Mock data

Until a trusted public RPC is exposed, explorer values are illustrative mock data — never presented as mainnet.

Future integration

The architecture is ready to connect a real RPC and explorer without redesign.

Mainnet is locked

Mainnet unlocks only after validation, security testing and vulnerability closure.

Sovereign post-quantum network for verified value.

A sovereign post-quantum network for verified wrapped assets, self-custody, sealed receipts and financial control. Testnet active; mainnet locked until validation is complete.
