Shinobi 2nd Beta Test
Shinobi 2nd Beta Test has started. After the 2022 Q1 public beta test, the Shinobi team has been working on revisions of the protocol design and dealing with technical issues.
The updates to Shinobi V2 include the following:
- New Shuriken Network, much faster and lighter
- New Shinobi token model, the voting escrow model which expands the ecosystem of protocols for long-term
- Multi-assets other than BTC is now supportive
In the Public Beta Test, the Secret Network is Mainnet and Bitcoin is Testnet.
SBTC and SNB used in beta testing are for testing purposes only. Beta Test will last for one week. There will be rewards for those who give us feedback during this period.

be transferred to the Secret Network as wrapped tokens.
ABOUT Shinobi
Shinobi is a protocol for generating Secret Assets backed by multi-chain crypto assets. Secret Assets are private tokens issued on the Secret Network and are pegged one-to-one to the deposited crypto assets (we call them the Base Asset) such as Bitcoin.
