Tezlink

warning

Tezlink has moved within Tezos X!

The Tezlink Shadownet testnet has been shut down on 18 May 2026 (see announcement).

Users of Tezlink can now move to using the Michelson interface of Tezos X on the Tezos X Previewnet, which implements all features of Tezlink, complemented by seamless interaction with EVM applications running on the EVM interface of the same Tezos X rollup, using native atomic calls.

For the context:

  • Tezlink was the first prototype of the runtime of Tezos X that provided compatibility with the existing Tezos layer 1 ecosystem.

  • Tezlink Shadownet was the first public test network for Tezlink.

  • In the Tezlink Shadownet architecture, Tezlink ran in its own rollup. Now, Etherlink and Tezlink are included in the unique, canonical Tezos X rollup that allows fast, trustless interactions between all runtimes.
