Most cryptocurrencies in the market today utilize a public ledger system, called the blockchain, which makes all transactions visible and traceable. This leaves users vulnerable as anyone has the ability to see all associated transactions and balances, which includes their associated addresses. If an account can be linked to a personâs identity, then all of the transactions on that account can also be linked to that person.
To help solve this problem, PIVX has implemented a highly-vetted protocol called Zerocoin which enables each transaction to be private by unlinking transactions with the use of its new second tier coin called zPIV. This revolutionary protocol makes PIVX one of the most up to date and technically advanced cryptocurrency on the market.
PIVXâs aim is to have the best technology built into a coin that maintains the ideals that Bitcoin founder, Satoshi, originally had in mind. Simply put, the goal is to put the people in power of their money so they can manage and possess their own funds.
PIVX has become a strong contender in the cryptocurrency ecosystem maintaining a spot in the top 30 of the list of cryptocurrencies based on market capitalization. The first privacy-based proof of stake currency is used in over 174 countries, with approximately 9000 members in itâs community communication portal, and a website translated into over 20 languages currently.
