About PHANTEX

Privacy. Without Compromise.

A CPU-mined privacy blockchain built for fair, decentralised DeFi. Homomorphic encryption, smart contracts, and a transparent launch — all verifiable on-chain.

How Privacy Works

Homomorphic Encryption & Zero-Knowledge Proofs

PHANTEX uses two separate cryptographic systems working together — homomorphic encryption hides all amounts on-chain, and zero-knowledge proofs let you prove you own funds without revealing anything about them.

🔒 Homomorphic Encryption

Every balance and every transaction amount is encrypted before it leaves your wallet. Nodes can add and subtract encrypted numbers to verify no coins were created from nothing — without ever decrypting them.

Normal blockchain: Alice sends 50 PTX → Bob (everyone sees)
PHANTEX: Alice sends [encrypted] → Bob — network confirms valid ✓

🔍 Zero-Knowledge Proofs — How to Verify a Transaction

A zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) lets your wallet prove a statement is true without revealing any underlying data. Example: "I have enough PTX to send" — provable without showing your balance.

To verify your own transaction was received, PHANTEX provides a TX proof. In the block explorer, paste your TX hash and the proof string generated by your wallet — the explorer confirms the amount you sent without revealing it to anyone else.

How to verify a payment was received:
  1. Go to phantex.network/explorer
  2. Search for the TX hash
  3. Paste the proof string from your wallet into the TX Proof field
  4. Explorer confirms the amount — privately, without publishing it

⚙️ AstroBWT CPU Mining

Proof-of-work designed specifically for CPUs. GPU and ASIC resistant. Memory-hard bandwidth requirement levels the playing field.

  • CPU-friendly — runs well on any modern processor
  • GPU/ASIC resistant — specialised hardware gains no significant advantage
  • Decentralised by design — no mining monopolies

Private DeFi

DeFi Without Surveillance

Traditional DeFi is fully transparent — anyone can see your positions, front-run your trades, and track your wealth. PHANTEX fixes this at the protocol level with encrypted on-chain state.

🔄

Private DEX

Non-custodial exchange built on DVM smart contracts. No operator can see your trades, no front-running possible, no KYC required.

Phase 4
⚛️

Private Atomic Swaps

Trustless P2P coin swaps directly between wallets. No custodian, amounts hidden throughout the entire swap.

Phase 3
🏦

Private Lending

Collateralised lending where loan amounts and positions are encrypted on-chain. Borrow against PTX with full privacy.

Phase 3
🪙

Private Token Standard

Issue your own privacy tokens on PHANTEX via DVM smart contracts. All transfers inherit homomorphic encryption.

Phase 3
🏛️

PoW + PoS Hybrid

Year 3 transition: PTX holders stake alongside CPU miners to help secure the network and earn block rewards.

Cross-Chain Bridge

Bring assets from ETH and BSC into PHANTEX's privacy layer, and back out. Assets gain full transaction privacy.

Phase 4
How It Works

From Wallet to Private Transaction

Homomorphic encryption means your balance never leaves your wallet in plaintext — not even the node validating your transaction can see the amount.

1

Create a Wallet

Open the web wallet or download the GUI wallet. Your wallet generates a private key and a PHANTEX address starting with phtx1. Save your 25-word seed phrase.

2

Register On-Chain

New wallets register once via a lightweight CPU proof-of-work (1–5 min in browser). Creates your encrypted account — a one-time operation.

3

Mine or Receive PTX

Run ptx-miner to earn PTX via AstroBWT CPU mining, or receive PTX from the faucet or another wallet. Your balance is always encrypted on-chain.

4

Transact Privately

Send PTX to any address. Amount, sender, and receiver are all encrypted. Verified mathematically via zero-knowledge proofs without revealing any values.

5

Use Private DeFi

Swap, lend, and stake using DVM smart contracts. All positions are encrypted — no front-running, no MEV, no surveillance.

Faucet Bootstrap Transparency

Before public launch, the founder mined the first 100 blocks to fund the community faucet with 1,500 PTX. All verifiable on the block explorer.

  • Funds went to the public faucet — not a founder wallet
  • Every transaction is on-chain and auditable
  • All blocks after height 100 are open to everyone
  • No ICO, no VC, no hidden allocation
