Hyli Testnet Launch: Earn $ORANJ Tokens Playing Fruit Ninja-Style Faucet Game
What's Happening with Hyli?
Exciting news in the ZK-proof space! Hyli has just launched their testnet, and it's not your typical boring faucet experience. They've created a Fruit Ninja-style game where you can slice virtual oranges to earn $ORANJ testnet tokens!
What makes this special is that every orange you slice is ZK-proven, with your $ORANJ balance settling directly on the Hyli network. This is a perfect opportunity to experience next-generation blockchain technology while having fun.
Play a simple fruit-slicing game, earn testnet tokens, and experience the future of proof composition across multiple ZK systems.
What is Hyli?
Hyli is a new blockchain platform focused on "proof composition" - allowing different zero-knowledge proving schemes to work together seamlessly. Their testnet showcases this capability through several applications:
Fruit Ninja-style faucet - Slice oranges to earn $ORANJ tokens
eZKasino with Windows XP skin - Retro-styled casino games
Orange Trail - A provable survival board game
Fully onchain ZK chat - Secure messaging
Hyligotchi - Coming soon with enhanced features
What makes Hyli unique is its ability to use multiple proving schemes in the same ecosystem:
RISC Zero (generated via Bonsai)
SP1 (generated via Succinct Labs)
Client-side Noir
The platform allows these different proving technologies to interact seamlessly - something that would require complex recursive verification on traditional blockchains.

FAQs
What makes Hyli different from other blockchains?
Hyli specializes in "proof composition," allowing different zero-knowledge proving schemes (RISC Zero, SP1, and Noir) to work together seamlessly. This enables developers to use the best tool for each specific application while maintaining interoperability.
Do I need technical knowledge to participate?
No! The Fruit Ninja faucet game is designed to be accessible to everyone. You just need to be able to connect a wallet and play a simple game.
What can I do with $ORANJ tokens?
$ORANJ tokens are the testnet currency for Hyli. You can use them to interact with other applications in the ecosystem, including the eZKasino, Orange Trail game, and ZK chat.
Will there be rewards for testnet participants?
While no specific rewards have been announced, early participants in promising projects often have advantages in future token distributions. However, this is not guaranteed.
How does the proof composition work in the faucet?
The faucet uses two contracts: the faucet contract (using SP1) and the oranj contract (using RISC0). When you slice an orange, both proving systems work together to verify the action and update your balance, demonstrating Hyli's ability to compose different proving schemes in a single transaction.
