Private by default

Shielded transfers are the default, not an opt-in. Amounts, senders, and recipients stay confidential without a separate privacy mode.

Post-quantum native

Trust roots use post-quantum signatures (ML-DSA-65) from day one — not a migration promised for later.

High throughput

Proving is kept off the finality path so the network can scale settlement without putting canonical authority on a synchronous public path.

Fair, weight-based fees

Fees are priced by transaction weight, never by value — so paying does not leak the amount being sent.

Sound money, no hard cap

A decaying emission converges into a perpetual tail that funds security forever, rather than a fixed cap that eventually starves it.

Constitutional governance

Protocol change flows through a defined constitutional authority — not ad-hoc or unaccountable control.
