Pricing modelFree Not given
PricingFree to download and use. Standard Zcash network fees apply when transacting. Third-party protocols for swaps, onramp, and offramp set their own rates. During Genesis (through December 31, 2026), new wallets receive 75 PVT, agent wallets receive 75 PVT, and each computer or device receives 25 PVT, up to 500 PVT per wallet. On-demand payout of earned PVT costs a flat $1 USDC service fee.
Key features

  • Open protocol with published Provenance Envelope standard and MIT-licensed tools
  • Genesis grants distributing 75 PVT to new wallets through end of 2026
What makes it different
  • Shielded by default: payments use Zcash with encryption at protocol level, not obfuscation
  • Money and messages in one app from a single seed phrase, no sign-up required
  • Spend directly into real-world fiat through peer-to-peer settlement with no exchange account or KYC
  • Every layer built on open protocols: Zcash, Zodl, Holepunch, NEAR Intents, P2P.me, Peer
  • 99% of minted PVT goes to the person or agent who did the work, ensuring economic participation
  • Same protocol works for people with phones and autonomous AI agents with their own wallets
  • Cryptographic proof survives key compromise through provenance records independent of blockchain
  • Work mints only when witnessed by independent parties, preventing self-reporting
