PIVY's Practical Privacy

In this section, you'll understand what values PIVY provides.

What PIVY Provides

Feature
The PIVY Benefit

Stealth Addresses

We ensure every payment goes to a fresh, one-time address. This prevents outsiders from easily linking you to your transactions, giving you meaningful privacy for everyday use.

Unlinkability

Your transaction history is broken up on the blockchain, keeping your activity smooth, simple, and private.

What PIVY Doesn't Provide

Principle
The Compliance Benefit

No Mixing Funds

Practical privacy means zero sketchiness. PIVY keeps your funds separate, never mixing them with others. This means your transactions stay clean, clear, and easy to keep compliant.

No Holding Users' Funds

PIVY is non-custodial. We never hold or access your private keys or funds. This eliminate the legal and security risks associated with custodial services.

Traceability

  • Stealth addresses don’t erase history, everything stays on-chain and transactions can still be traced back if needed.

  • That’s intentional: it lets you disclose fund origins to trusted parties (tax folks, auditors) when required.

If you're still wondering if PIVY actually gives you better privacy, think about this.

Manually linking your stealth addresses back to your main wallet is not instant. It requires significant, long-term effort from an attacker.

PIVY gives you a powerful defense by creating complexity: To link your activity, an attacker would need to track multiple incoming stealth addresses, monitor them over time, and successfully identify a pattern of withdrawals to a known, non-stealth main wallet address.

Using PIVY-to-PIVY (Pi2Pi, as to not get mixed with peer-to-peer) transactions further increases unlinkability, as the funds keeps going to a stealth address.

So, unless you consent, your privacy is protected by time and complexity.
