Public test network is live

Leave no trail.

Your coins leave the public supply and come back as 24 words only you hold. Summon any part, any time, with no on-chain link back to the vanish. Quantum-safe by design, from the first block.

Launch app Run a node

Vanish a coin in your browser.

Connect the Ghost wallet, pick an amount, write down your words. That’s the whole flow. Test coins have no value, so try it as often as you like. Get some by running a node that mines to your wallet.

Three steps.
No middleman.

The chain checks a proof. It never sees which vanish you’re drawing from.

Step 1

Vanish

Coins leave the public supply. You get a salted, 24-word Phantom Key.

Step 2

Hold

The words are the coins. Paper, memory, a steel plate. No account, nobody to ask.

Step 3

Summon

Any part, to any address, with no on-chain link to the vanish or to your other summons.

Private today.
Private after Q-day.

Most private coins today rest on elliptic-curve math that a large quantum computer could break. Ghost’s proofs use only hash functions, and its accounts use post-quantum signatures from block one.

What we can’t do.

  • No admin keyFreeze your coins.
  • Behind your wordsSee your balance.
  • Bearer means bearerRecover lost words.

Where Ghost differs.

Compared with three well-known private coins.

Based on each project’s public documentation. Ghost is experimental and has had no outside audit.

Questions

What if I lose my 24 words?

The coins behind them are gone for good. Nobody, including us, can recover them. Write the words down offline and keep them safe.

Can anyone see who summons coins?

A summon shows the address that receives the coins and any public amount. It does not name the vanish it draws from: no value appears in both transactions. Amounts, timing and network addresses can still give a match, especially while few people use Ghost, so Ghost removes the on-chain link, not every clue.

Do test coins have any value?

No. The public test network’s coins are test coins with no value, and the network may be reset. If it is, nodes move to the new chain on their own.

Can I put data in Ghost, not just coins?

That is the design: Ghost commits any kind of data, and coins are the first type. Today the web app handles coins only. The chain keeps a commitment and a small encrypted note, never the data itself.

Is the code open source?

Yes. Ghost is licensed under Apache 2.0 or MIT, at your option, and the node under LGPL 3.0. It is all on GitHub. It is experimental: nothing has had an outside audit, and all review so far was done with AI.

Go ghost.
