About Pirate Chain

Pirate Chain is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that enforces mandatory shielded transactions using zk-SNARKs (the same cryptographic technology used in Zcash). Unlike Zcash where shielded transactions are optional, every Pirate Chain transaction is fully private — transaction amounts and participants are cryptographically hidden. Built on Komodo's technology and merged-mined with Bitcoin, Pirate Chain aims to be the most private and decentralized cryptocurrency available. The ticker ARRR reflects its pirate branding emphasizing financial privacy as a fundamental right.
