Introduction

Privax is a private receiving protocol for PRIVAX. Shield into the Privax Math, derive one-time destinations, and discover incoming payments with a local viewing key.

Overview

On most blockchains anyone can look up an address and see what it holds and every payment it ever received. PRIVAX is an ordinary ERC-20 on Robinhood Chain, launched on the Pons launchpad: anyone can hold, send and trade it like any other token. The Privax Math is its private side. When you shield PRIVAX, it becomes program shares credited to an address only you control. Payments to you land on stealth addresses — fresh addresses derived for every payment that nobody but you can link back to your wallet.

What PRIVAX hides and what it does not. Stealth addresses hide who receives a payment: every payment lands on a fresh one-time address that cannot be linked to the recipient's wallet. The sender's address and the amount of each shield or unshield stay visible on-chain. PRIVAX does not use zero-knowledge proofs.

What makes it different

Unlinkable receiving

Every payment goes to a new stealth address (ERC-5564). Observers see a payment to an address that has never appeared before.

Trades like any token

PRIVAX trades on its Pons bonding curve, then on a Uniswap v4 pool. Wallets, explorers and aggregators work unchanged.

Program backing accrues

Trading fees are harvested into PRIVAX and donated to the Privax Math, so every share is worth a little more over time.

One signature, no seed

Your privacy keys come from one wallet signature. No extra seed phrase, nothing to back up.

How it fits together

  • The token is a plain Pons ERC-20 with a 3% creator fee on trades.
  • The Privax Math holds PRIVAX and keeps a share balance for each address, including stealth addresses.
  • The Privax Protocol buys PRIVAX with ETH straight into the Privax Math, and sells program shares back for ETH.
  • The Cryptographic Privax publishes each user's stealth meta-address so others can pay them.
  • The Privax Fee Circuit collects the creator fees from Pons and turns them into PRIVAX for the Privax Math.
