Private Transfers

Anonymous $PYRA Transactions​

Private Transfers is an optional privacy feature in the Pyra Chain wallet that breaks the link between sender and recipient. By routing transfers through a mixing pool with fixed denominations, your transaction history remains confidential.

  • Access: Toggle in wallet during transfer
  • Method: Pool mixing with fixed 100K $PYRA denomination
  • Maximum: 2.5M $PYRA per transfer
  • Result: Sender and recipient addresses are unlinkable
  • Network: Pyra Chain only

How Private Transfers Work​

The Mixing Process​

When you enable Private Transfers:

  1. Deposit: Your $PYRA enters a shared mixing pool
  2. Fixed Denomination: Amount is processed in 100K $PYRA units (max 2.5M)
  3. Pool Mixing: Your tokens mix with others in the pool
  4. Withdrawal: Recipient receives fresh $PYRA from the pool
  5. Broken Link: No on-chain connection between sender and recipient
Sender → [Mixing Pool] → Recipient
         (fixed denominations)
