About Pirate Chain
Where Zcash has both transparent and shielded address spaces (and most ZEC volume sits in the transparent pool), Pirate Chain only has shielded addresses. The full anonymity set is the entire UTXO set — a stronger ZK-SNARK property than partial-adoption shielded chains. The cost is computational: shielded transactions are more expensive to construct, and the network is much smaller than Monero or Zcash.
How to swap Pirate Chain (ARRR) without KYC
- Hold ARRR in a Pirate-compatible wallet (Pirate Wallet, Verus Mobile, Komodo OceanFi).
- Open the widget, ARRR as send, pick destination.
- Paste the destination wallet address.
- Send the quoted ARRR. The shielded sending leg can take a few minutes longer than a transparent chain due to proof generation; the receiving leg is unaffected.
ARRR privacy notes
- The anonymity set is the entire UTXO set. Stronger than Zcash transparent-mode usage.
- Wallet syncing reveals to your node which view-key indices you are scanning. Run your own node if possible.
- Pairing with Monero gives second-source privacy. A small ARRR position alongside an XMR position diversifies against any single privacy-coin vulnerability.
