$PRIVE is live. The network it secures is next.
It is not a fee coupon. It is the bond that takes us out of the trust equation. The relayer bond, the screening bond and governance are being built in the open, so none of that utility is live yet, and this page says so plainly. You can hold the bond as the network it secures comes online.
Official contract
0x9a347d2C997D6D046A6118A2e8D05aB9b3fa498f
Fixed supply 1,000,000,000, on Robinhood Chain mainnet, launched on Pons. This is the only official $PRIVE. Any other token, contract, presale or airdrop is a scam. Do not take our word for it: open the explorer and check the address yourself.
It is not a fee coupon.
Privé is already trustless where it matters: we cannot see your balance, we cannot move your funds, and we cannot link your deposit to your withdrawal. But two pieces still ask for your trust. The relayer that broadcasts your withdrawal is ours. The provider that will screen deposits would be ours too.
$PRIVE exists to put money at risk behind both of them, so you do not have to trust either. That is the whole thesis. Everything else follows from it.
Bond the relayers
Today there is one relayer and it is ours.
It cannot steal your funds and it cannot deanonymise you, because the fee recipient and amount are bound into your proof. But it can go down, and it can refuse to serve you. That is a real dependency on us. With $PRIVE, anyone can run a relayer by posting a bond. Censor a withdrawal or fail to deliver, and the bond is slashed. You stop needing our goodwill.
Bond the screening provider
Deciding whose money is clean is the most dangerous power here.
An Association Set Provider will screen deposits. Whoever does that can quietly exclude someone who did nothing wrong, or wave through what the policy forbids. So they must have money at risk. Post a bond, publish a root anyone can recompute, and be slashable when the published set does not match the published policy. Compliance you can challenge, not compliance you have to believe.
Govern the policy itself
Which lists? Whose appeal? What parameters?
Screening policy is not a technical detail, it decides who is allowed to be private. That should not be ours alone to write. $PRIVE holders set the lists the provider must use, the path for someone wrongly excluded, and the parameters of the pool.
Earn for carrying the risk
Yield from usage, not from a printer.
The fees the relayer network collects go to the stake that secures it. It is payment for taking slashing risk, not an emission schedule dressed up as revenue. If nobody uses the protocol, there is nothing to pay out, and that is correct.
Where it stands
The token is on Robinhood Chain mainnet. The payment rail is still on Robinhood Chain testnet. We are not going to blur that line. The product works end to end today, it is open to everyone, and it moves test USDG. Mainnet for the rail is gated on the audit, and that has not happened.
Being built, in the open: the bonded relayer network, the challengeable screening provider and the governance that controls the policy. None of those contracts are deployed. Until they are, $PRIVE is a claim on that future, not a live bond. We would rather write that than let you assume otherwise.
Fixed supply of 1,000,000,000, set by the Pons launch and readable from the contract. We are not inventing emissions or a valuation on top of it. Watch the roadmap and the contract deploys, not a chart.
