What is pPENX?
pPENX is a privacy-wrapped version of $PENX that operates on the Aleo blockchain using zero-knowledge proofs.
When you use pPENX, your transactions are completely confidential. Nobody can see:
- How much you paid
- Who you paid
- What you bought
- Your wallet balance
This makes pPENX ideal for private marketplace purchases, confidential payments, and business transactions that require discretion.
The combination of $PENX on Base (for liquidity) and pPENX on Aleo (for privacy) gives users the best of both worlds.
