MeshChain Public Testnet (meshchain-testnet-1)

This is a test network.
tMESH has no cash value. State may be wiped. Never send mainnet crypto expecting a return.

Live parameters: testnet/network.json
Site: https://meshchain-sigma.vercel.app/docs/?doc=TESTNET

Goals

  1. Let anyone run wallets and practice hold/spend without real money
  2. Publish stable chain_id + channel name so experimenters can align
  3. Exercise hybrid vault logic against Solana devnet (not mainnet)
  4. Gather feedback before any mainnet discussion

Network parameters

Field Value
chain_id meshchain-testnet-1
Token tMESH (6 decimals)
Consensus PoA, ≥3 validators, ceil(2N/3) finality
Meshtastic channel name MeshChain-Testnet-1
Frame magic MC
Solana bridge devnet only
PQ threshold ≥ 100 tMESH needs cold key; vault burns always PQ

Full JSON: testnet/network.json.

Quick start (local testnet node)

git clone https://github.com/krewdev/meshchain.git
cd meshchain
cargo build -p mesh -p meshchain-node

# Initialize official testnet profile (chain_id + faucet)
./target/debug/mesh testnet-setup

# See parameters
./target/debug/mesh testnet-info

# Practice transfers
./target/debug/mesh demo

# Your wallet
./target/debug/mesh new-wallet
./target/debug/mesh balance --wallet alice.json

Join over real Meshtastic radios (optional)

  1. Flash nodes with Meshtastic.
  2. Create a private channel named MeshChain-Testnet-1.
  3. Share the channel PSK only with people you trust for testing (PSK is not custody, but it exposes traffic).
  4. Run tools/meshtastic_bridge.py on a host with a radio.
  5. Keep mainnet funds off this channel.

There is no global single LoRa cloud. “Public testnet” means shared parameters + software.
Your mesh is still local/regional unless you peer with others who use the same channel.

Faucet (test MESH only)

Source How
Local mesh testnet-setup creates a faucet key with lots of tMESH
Demo mesh demo moves sample balances between alice/bob
Operator A human running a faucet wallet can send tMESH to your short address

No Solana/ETH/BTC mainnet faucet. Bridge tests use Solana devnet airdrops separately.

Solana side (devnet)

Item Value
Cluster devnet
Program programs-mesh-bridge (deploy yourself or wait for published program id)
Hybrid unlock mesh short id + burn + attestors 
# Example (when program is deployed):
solana config set --url devnet
solana airdrop 2
# anchor deploy — from programs-mesh-bridge

Roles

Role Who Job
Wallet user Anyone Hold/send tMESH, try cold keys
Validator Operators Run node software, finalize blocks (local or shared lab)
Attestor Operators Co-sign hybrid unlocks on Solana devnet
Faucet op Volunteers Drip tMESH to testers

Reset policy

Operators may reset meshchain-testnet-1 at any time:

  • New genesis
  • Balances zeroed
  • Channel PSK rotated

Assume nothing persists.

Roadmap on testnet

  1. ✅ Publish chain_id + docs + CLI testnet-*
  2. ✅ Multi-machine validator gossip (TCP) + lab script — MULTI_VALIDATOR.md
  3. ✅ Solana devnet program id reserved + binary built — SOLANA_DEVNET.md
  4. ✅ Public attestor list — attestors.json
  5. ⬜ On-chain program deploy (needs ~3.3 devnet SOL when faucet allows)
  6. ⬜ Only after audit + soak: discuss mainnet parameters

Solana program (devnet)
Program ID CBRQcjk5DLJh1HcW3XF5TmUxZsBumhiABJa6M15r3Vkx
Status Built & ID reserved; on-chain deploy pending faucet rent

Safety checklist

  • I understand tMESH is worthless
  • I will not deposit mainnet SOL into unknown programs
  • Cold keys for tests are separate from real savings
  • I verified donation addresses only on GitHub if donating
