Native Assets

The world's first native precious metals blockchain. Secured by Zero-Knowledge Proofs.

Smart Contracts are a
Security Liability.

The DeFi ecosystem has lost billions to re-entrancy attacks, bridge hacks, and infinite mint exploits. The complexity of the EVM is its own worst enemy.

"We didn't fix smart contracts. We removed them."

Pricy defines assets at the protocol level. Gold is not a token code; it is a native variable in the consensus engine. Unhackable by design.

Protocol Primitives

The Periodic Table of Finance

Native Implementation
ICY Gas

The lifeblood of the network. Used for staking, transaction fees, and participating in the consensus lottery.

Au Store

Native Gold. The ultimate store of value, secured not by a vault, but by the immutable ledger.

Ag Transact

Native Silver. High velocity money for the digital age. Efficient, fast, and pure.

Cu Utility

Native Copper. Bridging the gap between industrial utility and digital settlement.

Privacy

Your Wealth,
Your Secret

Blockchain transparency exposes your financial privacy. The Vault brings mathematical privacy to digital precious metals—proven, not promised.

The Transparency Problem

Every transaction on a public blockchain is visible forever. Your holdings, transfers, and wealth become permanent public records—like posting your bank statement on Twitter.

"Transparency is a bug, not a feature, when it comes to personal wealth."

The Vault Solution

A decentralized cold storage vault powered by Zero-Knowledge Proofs. Shield your assets, transfer privately, and withdraw with complete anonymity. Mathematical privacy, not obfuscation.

How It Works

01

Deposit

Send your Gold, Silver, or Platinum into the Vault. The network burns your public assets and issues you a cryptographic ZK-Note—your private key to the vault.

02

Shield

Your assets are now hidden in a unified Merkle Tree state. The network knows the transaction is valid, but not who you are, who you're sending to, or how much.

03

Transfer

Send your ZK-Note to anyone. Zero-Knowledge Proofs verify the transaction without revealing any details. Complete privacy, instant verification.

04

Withdraw

The recipient withdraws assets to a public address. The deposit appears fresh with no transaction history linking it to the original sender.

Technical Architecture

Mathematical Privacy, Not Obfuscation

Proof System

Built on Plonk with KZG commitments, instantiated on the BN254 elliptic curve. High-throughput privacy with minimal computational overhead.

On-Chain Verification

Logic signatures (LogicSigs) generated by AlgoPlonk enable efficient on-chain verification. Privacy without sacrificing performance.

Inspired by ZCash's privacy model, adapted for native precious metals on Pricy's Layer 1.

Protocol

Consensus

1. Key Generation

Validators stake ICY to mint cryptographic keys. Unlike PoW, this consumes negligible energy. Each key represents a lottery ticket for the round.

2. VRF Selection

A Verifiable Random Function mathematically selects one key per block. The selection is instant, unbiasable, and completely transparent.

3. Finality

The winning keyholder proposes the block. Consensus is achieved instantly. Native assets move with absolute finality.
