Hope Testnet & No Real Money Disclosure
Effective May 18, 2026 · Chain ID: hope-testnet-2
Summary for users and app reviewers
Lionheart Labs LLC provides Hope Testnet software for blockchain development and testing only. This is not a live financial product, interoperable mainnet crypto service, or money-transmission business.
- Testnet proof-of-concept and hackathon demo software only. No real money.
- Purpose: test Hope Chain post-quantum transaction signing (ML-DSA) on testnet—not mainnet or third-party networks.
- Non-custodial: we never hold your keys or tokens.
- No fiat on-ramp, off-ramp, or bank integration.
- No licensed exchange, broker, or investment offering.
- Not a security certification, insurance product, or guarantee of quantum resistance.
Post-quantum signing (proof of concept)
Hope Wallet on testnet is provided so developers and reviewers can try Hope Chain’s experimental post-quantum signing flow (ML-DSA-style signatures per Hope Chain protocol). This supports infrastructure research and hackathon demonstrations.
The app is not marketed or intended as a general-purpose consumer wallet for real assets. Experimental cryptography on a test network does not imply that Lionheart certifies, insures, or warrants security outcomes for users or funds.
- Keys and signing occur on your device; Lionheart does not custody assets.
- Only Hope Testnet (hope-testnet-2) is supported in this build.
- Do not rely on this PoC for protecting real-world funds or for compliance with any security standard.
What is Hope Testnet?
Hope Testnet is a separate blockchain environment (chain ID hope-testnet-2) used to test Hope Network protocol features. It is not Ethereum, Bitcoin, Cosmos Hub, or any other production network.
Test tokens have no value
Tokens displayed in Hope Wallet, Hope DEX, Hope Chain Explorer, and testnet faucets—including HOPE, TATOM, TETH, TUSDC, TBTC, and similar names—are test units only. They have no monetary value inside or outside Hope Testnet.
- They cannot be sold for U.S. dollars or other fiat currency through Lionheart.
- They are not backed by assets, deposits, or insurance.
- They may be reset, revoked, or changed during testnet upgrades without compensation.
- All listed test tokens can be claimed from the Hope DEX testnet faucet for testing purposes only—not purchased with real money.
- Receiving test tokens from a faucet is not income, a gift of money, or an airdrop of valuable crypto.
USD labels, TUSDC, and pool pricing on testnet
Hope DEX and related UIs may show “USD,” “$,” TVL, balances, or “~$100” faucet drip sizes. Those figures are not U.S. dollars and are not backed by fiat, real USDC, or any asset Lionheart holds for you.
Hope Testnet liquidity pools contain only test tokens. Many pools pair assets with TUSDC (test USDC, on-chain denom utusdc). TUSDC is a testnet unit with no monetary value—it is not Circle USDC, not a bank deposit, and cannot be withdrawn as real money.
Displayed USD amounts are calculated from the quantities of test tokens locked in each pool (including TUSDC reserves) multiplied by public reference prices for labeling only (e.g., market data used to express how much TETH or TBTC sits beside TUSDC in a pool). The math describes test pool composition for debugging and demos; it does not create value in the tokens and does not mean you own dollars.
- TUSDC in a pool is still a worthless test token, even when the UI uses it as the “dollar” leg for display math.
- HOPE, TATOM, TETH, TBTC, and other test denoms in pools have zero real-world value regardless of any USD figure shown.
- Faucet “~$100” drips are sized using the same reference math on test token amounts—not a payment of $100 USD.
- You cannot redeem test pool balances or TUSDC for fiat or mainnet assets through Hope Testnet tools.
Hope Wallet (mobile app)
Hope Wallet stores keys on your device, connects only to Hope Testnet infrastructure, and signs transactions you explicitly approve (e.g., via QR from Hope Explorer or Hope DEX). The mobile app exists primarily to demonstrate post-quantum signing on testnet for proof of concept and hackathon submission.
- The app does not swap, buy, or sell cryptocurrency for fiat.
- The app does not custody user funds.
- App Store listing describes testnet research wallet functionality, not investments, earnings, or mainnet trading.
- Subtitle and screenshots should show “Testnet” and “PoC” (or equivalent), not “quantum secure wealth” or similar claims.
Hope DEX and Hope Chain Explorer (websites)
These web tools interact with testnet smart contracts and public chain data. They are companion developer tools, not standalone regulated exchanges.
hopenetwork.io (this site)
This website hosts legal documents and information about the Hope project. It is not a cryptocurrency exchange or wallet. Hope Wallet reviewers should evaluate the mobile app as a testnet signing tool.
Who operates this?
