Hey everyone,
La Tanda Chain is a Cosmos SDK v0.53.6 / CometBFT blockchain for decentralized financial services in Latin America. The testnet has been live since February 25, producing blocks every ~5 seconds. We’re looking for node operators and validators to join the network.
Incentivized Testnet (March-June 2026)
We’re allocating rewards from our 40M LTD staking pool (20% of 200M total supply) to early participants:
| Tier | Requirement | Reward | Slots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Node Operator | Run synced node 30+ days, 95% uptime | 500 LTD | 20 |
| Testnet Validator | Full node → validator, maintain uptime | 2,000 LTD | 10 |
| Infrastructure Partner | Public RPC, snapshots, state sync | 5,000 LTD | 5 |
| Bug Reporter | Valid chain/consensus bugs | 100-1,000 LTD | Open |
Testnet LTD for validator staking (50K self-stake requirement) is available by request — we’ll delegate from the genesis account.

What Makes This Different
This isn’t a whitepaper-only project. La Tanda is a live fintech platform already serving users in Honduras:
- 140+ API endpoints in production
- Wallets, KYC, social feed, AI assistant
- Rotating savings groups (tandas/ROSCAs), marketplace, lottery
The chain migrates core financial logic to native Cosmos modules (x/tanda, x/mercado, x/loteria, x/ltd, x/mineria, x/gobernanza).
