A proof-based privacy network started an invite-only partner mainnet on Oct. 26, 2026, with launch partners and invited users. Partners and invited users can now move real assets on it.
Why it matters
A privacy-focused blockchain opened an invite-only partner mainnet on Oct. 26, 2026, for launch partners and invited users. They can now move real assets on it. Early-access codes roll out in waves, and anyone holding a code steps in as a partner. The network runs through a self-custodial wallet that keeps balances and activity hidden by default.
Users gain the ability to hold, send and receive supported assets. They can also move assets across networks and swap where pairs exist. A private multisig keeps balances, signers and signing rules out of view. Access relies on an everyday key, a recovery key and a Guardian key so no single point controls entry.
How it works
Each user’s device executes the transaction and creates a zero-knowledge proof. The network checks the proof before it records the update. For private accounts the chain stores only cryptographic commitments while the private state stays unpublished. The proofs use STARKs that depend solely on hash functions, and most transactions finish proving on a phone in under three seconds. Validators hold encrypted transaction data during this phase so no single validator can decrypt it alone.
Four operators run Guardians at launch. Their role stays separate from guarding private keys. Guardians back up and synchronize private account state so users can recover an account on another device. Asset callbacks let issuers add code that runs when an asset moves, which supports freezes or transfer limits without publishing holder accounts.

Swaps are public in this phase. Private-to-private transfers reveal the least.
The wallet hides balances and activity by default, and it runs on phones and in Chrome.
Background
Teams already building on the phase include a business banking app and a payments service. Others work on an exchange and a name service. Swaps stay public in this phase while private-to-private transfers reveal the least information. The partner mainnet remains temporary, so participants withdraw funds before a reset ahead of public mainnet. The later public phase shifts to a Blake3-based hash and adds full zero-knowledge block proofs.
The network began in 2020 as a research virtual machine for proofs and became an independent company in 2025. One security firm audited the virtual machine while another reviewed the transaction kernel.
