Known Limitations

We'd rather tell you what's incomplete than oversell. Current public-testnet limitations:

Wallet

  • The transparent send/receive module is being wired end-to-end. Core signing and storage are implemented and node-accepted; some desktop flows are still preview.
  • Shielded funds can be received but not yet spent from the desktop app. Receiving, scanning, reading memos and estimating a private send all work; the command that builds and broadcasts a shielded spend is implemented in the wallet core but is not wired into the application. See Shielded Transactions.
  • There is no manual rescan control. Recovering shielded notes from a seed phrase relies on the ordinary sync scan, which starts from the wallet's recorded birth height — or from the start of the chain when none is recorded.

Gateway

  • Transparent indexing in Morana Lightd is in progress. Light-wallet transparent history may lag or pause during indexer restarts.
  • Shielded compact-block sync is functional.

Network

  • Access to the testnet is by invitation while stability is validated; the relay swarm is foundation-operated.
  • The testnet may be reset at any time, wiping balances and history.
  • The explorer and faucet are best-effort and may be briefly unavailable.

Messenger

  • The messenger is built and released — Android builds are published for testers — but it runs on the invited testnet described above and has not been independently audited.
  • Under the Shadow identity, calls, channels and the wallet are unavailable by design, and routing is onion-only and fail-closed.

Not done

  • There is no way to authenticate a released binary. The update root is not live, so building from source is the only real check — see Verify Your Download.
  • No independent security audit yet.
  • No mainnet and no mainnet date.
