Testnet release schedule

The team announced a phased release over six weeks. The announced schedule and verified availability are shown separately.

Week 1

Testnet network and RPC

Available

Access point for querying the test network.

Week 3

Wallet

Available for testnetOfficial source · 23 October 2026

Availability announced by the team on 23 October 2026. Installation and functions have not been independently tested. Testnet Wallet → · Read the article →

Week 4

Faucet

In developmentRelease planned in the team’s programme

Faucet: obtain trial tokens for testing.

Week 5

Bridge

In developmentRelease planned in the team’s programme

Bridge: test connections with Ethereum, Solana and Bitcoin.

Week 6

Staking dashboard

In developmentRelease planned in the team’s programme

Dashboard for staking tests.

Green: public RPC and explorer interface accessible. Yellow: subsequent releases planned by the team. Access is not a complete functional or security audit. Historical RPC observations: 10 October 2026; explorer source: 15 October 2026. Editorial revision and page-opening check: . Wallet: available for testnet according to the team’s announcement of 23 October 2026; the shared editorial check reached the ZIP link, without installing or functionally testing the extension.

Weeks are relative to the team’s announcement, not firm dates. This programme is separate from the 2027 roadmap.

Stated as pre-TGE

RPC Testnet

Available

Network observation through RPC

Status of the key components

New: the testnet RPC is available and the ecosystem is opening progressively. The other cards retain the earlier devnet picture; they do not confirm that the same tools are already available on the new testnet.

✓ Live

SVM execution layer

SVM programs running natively on devnet. SPL tokens, escrow and multi-signature have been tested.

✓ Live

Devnet explorer

A public explorer is available for the devnet.

✓ Live

Public Testnet

The public testnet RPC and explorer are available. The team opened wallet testing in its announcement of 23 October 2026; the Faucet is planned for the following week. Bridge and staking remain subsequent announced releases. Open the explorer →

◉ Under way

Sequencer (centralised)

Operational on devnet. At mainnet launch it is expected to be centralised and run by the team.

◎ In development

Canonical bridge

Under testing on devnet. Forced exit is not yet implemented. Federated custody model.

◎ In development

Anchoring to Bitcoin

Architecture defined (OP_RETURN/Taproot). Adaptive frequency under development.

◎ In development

Data availability

The final solution is still under research. Approaches explored: external DA layers, erasure coding, distributed nodes.

○ Planned

Forced inclusion/exit

Anti-censorship mechanism. Still under development and not available on devnet.

◎ In development

Proving system (ZK/fraud)

A hybrid fraud/validity-proof model is under development. Not active at launch.

○ Planned

Security audits

Stated by the project as due before the TGE. No public audit had been published as of 28/04/2026.

○ Planned

Mainnet

Centralised sequencer, federated bridge. Contingent on completion of the audits and the bridge.

○ Planned

Sequencer decentralisation

Roadmap of 2–4 years from mainnet. Rotation, auctions, leader election.

Timeline of key updates

Testnet · Wallet

The team opens testing of Bitcoin Hyper Wallet, distributed as an unpacked extension. The Faucet is planned for the week after the announcement. No independent installation or functional test has been performed. Use only a test wallet without real-wallet seeds or real funds.

Explorer available

The explorer is accessible following the public RPC. What users can consult, how the tools differ and which releases remain planned.

8 October 2026 Public Testnet · RPC

The team made the public testnet RPC available to the community. The explorer followed with the release of 15 October 2026. Team’s source: 8 October 2026. Shared RPC observations recorded on 10 October 2026 are historical network observations, distinct from this portal’s current editorial revision. Read the article →

July 2026 Book

Publication of "Due Diligence of a Layer 2 – The Bitcoin Hyper Case, Vol. I" by Michele Stefanelli — the first independent technical analysis of the project (523 pages, 24 chapters; complete work: 36 chapters). Forthcoming.

March 2026 Team announcement

Official post: the final data-availability solution is still under research. Several directions are being explored.

Late 2025 Devnet

SVM programs running natively. Explorer live. First DeFi, SPL-token, escrow and multi-signature tests with selected developers.

Q2–Q4 2025 Presale & staking

HYPER$ token distribution. Staking activated. Selective devnet opened to chosen partners and developers.

Q2 2025 Foundation

Initial architecture, whitepaper v1, formation of the core team.

Contract review

GoPlusLabs · May 2026

✓ Verified

✓
Verified source Source code published and verified on BscScan
✓
No proxy Contract not upgradeable through a proxy pattern
✓
No mint function New tokens cannot be minted after deployment
✓
Ownership renounced Owner address: 0x000…0000 (dead address)
✓
No hidden owner No concealed ownership-transfer function
✓
No self-destruct The contract cannot be destroyed unilaterally
✓
No blacklist No mechanism to block specific addresses
✓
No whitelist No selective restriction on transfers
✓
0% tax on buy/sell/transfer No fee applied to transactions
✓
Tax not modifiable Fees cannot be raised after deployment
✓
Anti-whale not modifiable The holding limit cannot be changed by the team

⚠ Points requiring attention

⚠
External call risk The contract makes external calls. GoPlusLabs flags the risk of re-entrancy or unexpected behaviour should dependent contracts be updated.
⚠
Possible honeypot The automated GoPlusLabs checker returned a possible-honeypot flag during simulation. It was not possible to independently verify a sale.
⚠
Anti-whale present An anti-whale mechanism (holding limit) is present, although it is not modifiable. It may affect liquidity in the early phase.

Editorial note

The automated GoPlusLabs checks are not a substitute for a formal audit by a specialised third-party firm (e.g. CertiK, Quantstamp, Hacken). The "possible honeypot" flag requires manual verification on testnet: a contract can return a positive result in simulation because of conditional logic tied to liquidity or to a lock. The absence of a mint function and the renounced ownership are structurally positive indicators, but they do not guarantee the overall security of the protocol, which also depends on the bridge, staking and governance contracts that are not examined in this card.

Data retrieved from the GoPlusLabs Token Security API (BSC chain 56) — May 2026. This card is updated manually; for the most recent data please consult GoPlusLabs and BscScan.

Signals to watch

The next critical milestones (in order of importance):

  1. 1. Publication of the first security audits by recognised third-party firms
  2. 2. Definition and documentation of the data-availability solution
  3. 3. Implementation and testing of forced inclusion/exit on testnet
  4. 4. Opening of the public testnet to non-selected developers
  5. 5. Publication of technical specifications for sequencer decentralisation
  6. 6. The core-code GitHub repository made public
