TSN is not a fork. No Substrate, no Cosmos SDK, no framework. Consensus engine, P2P protocol, zkVM, smart contracts, wallet, block format — all written from zero in Rust. We use battle-tested crypto primitives (ML-DSA-65, Poseidon2, Plonky3) but everything above the primitive layer is original TSN code. 298 source files. 432 tests.

Node Architecture

A Multi-Role Decentralized Network

TSN nodes specialize by role via the --role CLI flag.

⛏️ Miner Node

--role miner

Full node with Poseidon2 proof-of-work mining. Validates transactions, produces blocks and secures the chain. Must register a MIK (Miner Identity Key) on-chain.

85% of block reward (42.5 TSN/block)

🔄 Relay Node

--role relay

Full node that stores the complete chain and relays blocks and transactions via gossip protocol. Serves fast-sync snapshots so new nodes can catch up in minutes.

10% relay pool share

📱 Light Client

--role light

Minimal node that syncs headers only and verifies transactions via ZK proofs. Designed for mobile and constrained devices. No full chain storage required.

Resilience

Bulletproof Synchronization
& Fork Protection

TSN implements a multi-layered defense system that goes beyond what most L1 blockchains offer.

⚡ Fast-Sync Protocol

New nodes download a compressed state snapshot from any peer, verify it cryptographically (Ed25519 signature, multi-seed confirmation, SHA256, state root), then sync only missing blocks. Snapshots are published to GitHub as a public mirror.

⚖ Heaviest Chain Rule

Fork choice based on cumulative proof-of-work, not simply the longest chain. Same proven approach as Bitcoin Core.

canonical = max(∑ difficulty)
not max(height)
📦

Verified Snapshot System

Decentralized state snapshots with cryptographic verification. Instant chain restoration without trusting any single node.

Step 1
Export
Seed produces snapshot & signs manifest with Ed25519
Step 2
Confirm
2+ independent seeds verify block hash & state root, sign individually
Step 3
Publish
Snapshot & manifest published to seeds + GitHub mirror
Step 4
Verify
Importing node checks signature, confirmations, SHA256 & state root
Trust model: GitHub is a distribution mirror. Trust comes from Ed25519 signatures, multi-seed confirmations, and state root recalculation after import.

Anti-Fork Protections

MAX_REORG_DEPTH = 100No reorganization deeper than 100 blocks, regardless of cumulative work
Checkpoint FinalityEvery 100 blocks — deterministic finality, no reorg beyond checkpoint
Anti-Fork Sync GateMiners must be within 2 blocks of network tip to submit new blocks
Genesis VerificationAll nodes verify genesis block hash at startup — prevents silent forks
Fork ID VerificationPeers verify fork identity on handshake — prevents silent chain splits and eclipse attacks
Anchor Block FilterRejects blocks that do not reference a recent valid ancestor — prevents orphan spam

Most L1 blockchains rely on simple longest-chain rules. TSN combines 7 layers of protection for enterprise-grade chain stability.

Tokenomics

Fair and Transparent Economy

No premine, no private sale. Every TSN is mined by the community.

⛏

Proof of Work

Poseidon ZK-friendly Proof-of-Work consensus. Each mined block generates 50 TSN reward. Native ZK-proof verification of mining.

💰

Dev Fee 5%

85% of each block goes to the miner. 10% goes to the relay pool. 5% funds the development treasury. Zero premine. Treasury only grows with mining.

TSN Network Topology

Each node is identified by a cryptographic Node ID — the Poseidon2 hash of its ML-DSA public key. No IP address is exposed.

SEED tsn:0x7a3f...c1d8 N-2 tsn:0x2e91...f4a2 N-3 tsn:0x8bc4...e7d3 N-4 tsn:0x5d0a...b9f1 N-5 tsn:0x1f6e...a3c5

Cryptographic Node ID

Each node generates an ML-DSA key pair at startup. Its network identifier is the Poseidon2 hash of its public key — unique, deterministic and non-reversible.

IP-less Discovery

The Kademlia DHT protocol routes messages via Node IDs (XOR distance, k=20). Network addresses are encrypted in the transport layer.

Network Status

7 nodes are provisioned for the testnet (2 miners + 5 seed nodes). Private testnet active since March 2026 — mainnet planned Q3 2026.

FAQ

Understanding TSN
in Simple Terms

Answers to essential questions about Trust Stack Network.

TSN (Trust Stack Network) is a privacy-first, post-quantum blockchain. It's a shared ledger between computers (nodes) that agree on who owns what, without intermediaries — and with protection against future quantum computers.

Current blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum) use signatures that will be breakable by quantum computers. TSN uses ML-DSA-65 (standardized by NIST in 2024, FIPS 204) for signatures, Plonky3 STARKs for zero-knowledge proofs (AIR-based, post-quantum). When quantum computers arrive, TSN will already be protected.

Transaction amounts are hidden using Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs. When you send TSN, you generate a mathematical proof saying "I have sufficient funds" without revealing how much you own or how much you're sending. Only the recipient (with their viewing key) can see the amount received.

TSN is the native currency of the network. 1 TSN = 1 billion base units. You can get it in 3 ways:

  • Mining — Each mined block generates 50 TSN (42.5 for the miner, 5 for the relay pool, 2.5 dev fee)
  • Transactions — Someone can send you TSN

There is no premine: nobody owns TSN in advance. Every coin is mined.

On each mined block, 85% goes to the miner, 10% to the relay pool and 5% funds the development treasury. It's transparent and visible on-chain. This funds ongoing project development. There is no premine or private sale — the treasury only grows with mining, like everyone else.

1 You create a shielded transaction from your wallet
↓
2 A Plonky3 proof is generated — it proves you have the funds without revealing them
↓
3 The transaction is signed with your ML-DSA-65 key (post-quantum)
↓
4 The P2P network propagates the transaction via gossip
↓
5 A miner includes it in a block (Proof of Work)
↓
6 The recipient scans the blockchain with their viewing key and sees their funds

TSN is developed by a dedicated engineering team with specialists in core development, cryptography, networking, devops and security. The project is 100% open source and the code is available on GitHub. Development runs 24/7 with continuous code review, automated tests and continuous integration.

The deployment plan is progressive:

  • Local testnet (7 nodes) — active since March 2026
  • Incentivized public testnet — open to the community, potentially with an airdrop for participants
  • Mainnet — after public testnet stabilization and security audits

The roadmap is adaptive and evolves with progress. Follow us for announcements.
