Hva er Pirate Chain? Slik fungerer og brukes den

Overview

Pirate Chain på ett blikk.

Pirate Chain launched in August 2018, built by developers from the Komodo community around one requirement: every transaction is shielded. Where some privacy coins make shielding optional, Pirate Chain only supports private, zk-SNARK-shielded transfers. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

Slik fungerer det

Slik fungerer Pirate Chain.

Pirate Chain uses Komodo’s delayed Proof of Work design. At intervals, a snapshot of Pirate Chain’s own blockchain is notarized into a Bitcoin transaction by a set of elected notary nodes, permanently recording that chain state on Bitcoin. Once a block has been notarized this way, the network will not accept a reorganization that tries to rewrite it, meaning an attacker would need to compromise Bitcoin itself, not just Pirate Chain, to rewrite settled history.

100% shielded transactions

Pirate Chain only supports zk-SNARK-shielded transfers. There is no transparent transaction type, so privacy is not an opt-in choice a user can forget to make.

zk-SNARKs

Zero-knowledge proofs let the network verify a transaction is valid without revealing the sender, receiver, or amount.

Delayed Proof of Work

Chain state is periodically notarized into the Bitcoin blockchain, giving Pirate Chain a security backstop from Bitcoin’s own Proof of Work.

Fair, capped supply

Pirate Chain launched with no ICO, no pre-mine, and no developer allocation. Its supply is capped at 200 million ARRR, issued entirely through block rewards.

Ecosystem & usage

Dette brukes Pirate Chain til.

Pirate Chain’s ecosystem centers narrowly on private, shielded payments rather than smart contracts or DeFi.

Private payments

Every transfer on Pirate Chain is shielded by default, without needing to choose a private transaction type.

Store of value with privacy

Holders who want their balances and transaction history kept confidential use Pirate Chain rather than a transparent-by-default chain.

FAQ

Vanlige spørsmål.

Hva er Pirate Chain?

Pirate Chain is a privacy-focused Layer 1 that launched in August 2018. Every transaction is shielded with zk-SNARKs by default, unlike chains where privacy is optional.

How does Pirate Chain secure its network?

Pirate Chain uses delayed Proof of Work, periodically notarizing its chain state into the Bitcoin blockchain so that settled blocks inherit a security backstop from Bitcoin.

Can Pirate Chain transactions be transparent?

No. Pirate Chain only supports shielded, zk-SNARK-protected transactions; there is no transparent transaction type.

When did Pirate Chain launch?

Pirate Chain launched in August 2018 with no ICO, pre-mine, or developer allocation.

Can I hold ARRR in Zypto App?

Ikke ennå. ARRR er ikke i Zypto App nå. Oppbevar den i en selvforvarende lommebok, og du kan be oss legge til Pirate Chain med knappen «Be om Pirate Chain» over.
