What is Peryx?
What you need to know
Peryx is the leading cryptocurrency with a focus on private and censorship-resistant transactions.
Most existing cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, have transparent blockchains, meaning that transactions are openly verifiable and traceable by anyone in the world. Furthermore, sending and receiving addresses for these transactions may potentially be linkable to a person's real-world identity.
Peryx uses cryptography to shield sending and receiving addresses, as well as transacted amounts.
Peryx transactions are confidential and untraceable.
Every Peryx transaction, by default, obfuscates sending and receiving addresses as well as transacted amounts. This always-on privacy means that every Peryx user's activity enhances the privacy of all other users, unlike selectively transparent cryptocurrencies (e.g. Zcash). Peryx can function via TOR network.
Peryx is fungible. By virtue of obfuscation, Peryx cannot become tainted through participation in previous transactions. This means Peryx will always be accepted without the risk of censorship.
Peryx is a grassroots community attracting the world's best cryptocurrency researchers and engineering talent.
Forums and chat channels are welcoming and active.
Peryx's Research Lab, Core Development Team and Community Developers are constantly pushing the frontier of what is possible with cryptocurrency privacy and security.
Peryx is electronic cash that allows fast, inexpensive payments to and from anywhere in the world.
There are no multi-day holding periods and no risk of fraudulent chargebacks. It is safe from ‘capital controls’ - these are measures that restrict the flow of traditional currencies, sometimes to an extreme degree, in countries experiencing economic instability.
