Today we’re launched Privatum. $PRIV

Crypto wallets are still too easy to lose or drain. One key, one bad approval, or one stolen laptop can decide the whole wallet. That never made sense to us.
Privatum is a desktop wallet built for Robinhood Chain. Every wallet has three keys: one stays on your computer, one is used by our co-signer when you make a transaction, and one is there for recovery. Two need to agree before funds move.
So if someone gets your laptop, they cannot send your funds with it alone. If the laptop dies, recovery does not become a seed phrase scavenger hunt. Our co-signer helps approve transactions, but it cannot move a wallet by itself.
We’re building toward private payments, simpler recovery, and self-custody that does not ask people to choose between convenience and keeping control of their money.
The desktop beta is live for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The code is public, the docs are up, and we want the honest feedback.
Try it, break it, tell us what feels wrong.

Privatum Desktop update: the Privatum Assistant is now live.
We have been working toward a wallet experience where getting help does not mean handing an agent the keys or sending financial context to a remote model.
The first piece of Privatum V2 is now inside the desktop app. $PRIV
The Assistant can break down a send before you authorize it, flag look-alike and dust-address risks, check a transfer against your spending limits, and prepare payment-link or freeze requests for review.
It does not receive your private keys or shards. It cannot sign or broadcast a transaction by itself. Every action still comes back to you for review and device authorization.
It starts with deterministic transaction checks, with an optional local SmolLM2 mode running through WebAssembly and cached on-device after download.
Open Privatum Desktop and press Ctrl/Cmd + K.

Been thinking about this a lot while building $PRIV,
AI will eventually sit inside wallets and see more of people’s financial lives. That context cannot become another data source.
Privatum V2 is our way of building the privacy layer before that becomes normal. Be ready for what’s coming this weekend $PRIV Fam.
privacy around AI is becoming a much bigger conversation
that's why i've been paying attention to Venice
as these models get better, we're going to give them more context about our work, money and personal lives, which makes private inference increasingly important
Venice has been building directly around that problem with:
> TEE
> zero data retention
> end-to-end encrypted inference
AI adoption keeps growing, and privacy should grow with it
The Privatum team is making Privatum V2 official: a safer, more user-controlled wallet experience. We start with local transaction guidance and clear approval evidence.
Private AI and inference expand our privacy stack, $PRIV expansion.
Wallet security will need an upgrade as more people come onchain.
We are still early, but keeping your funds safe should not depend on being lucky with one seed phrase.
ONLY on $PRIV.
Your contacts should not need to become another public part of your wallet.
Privatum now has a local address book for the wallets you use most. Name them, add notes, and save both EVM and stealth addresses in one place.
Nothing goes onchain just to save a contact, so there is no gas involved. You can also export or import the list as JSON when needed.
Less copying addresses. Less room for mistakes.

The more we build Privatum, the clearer it gets: retail should not need to become a security expert just to hold crypto. $PRIV
People are one bad approval, copied address, or lost seed phrase away from losing money they worked hard for. We are trying to make that part feel less brutal.
That is why we are building on Robinhood Chain.
gPriv community,
The EU dev team is back online and picking up where the Asia team left off.
Privatum was early on Robinhood Chain for a reason. We are building a wallet where sending, swapping, receiving, and getting paid can happen without putting your main wallet address in front of everyone.
More work going live today. $PRIV
We just released v0.1.13 of @privatumrh/robinhood-chain-sdk.
This update is about catching mistakes before a transaction leaves your wallet:
• checks for lookalike and poisoned addresses
• spend, value and slippage limits before a user operation goes out
• encrypted local contacts with no telemetry
Fast chains leave little room for errors. Client-side checks matter.
npm i @privatumrh/robinhood-chain-sdk

One fat-finger mistake in crypto can drain your account.
In traditional banking, you have daily debit card limits and transaction alerts. In standard crypto wallets, you can accidentally transfer your entire net worth in a single click with zero
warnings.
Privatum v0.1.12 introduces In-App Spending Guardrails for Robinhood Chain:
1. Daily Spending Cap: Set a custom 24-hour allowance (e.g. $500/day) and optional single-transfer limits.
2. Live Dashboard Meter: See exactly how much you have spent today and your remaining budget with a clean visual progress bar.
3. Pre-Flight Protection: If a transfer breaches your limit, an interstitial warning interrupts the send flow before your key ever signs.
4. Flexible Control: Choose Soft Mode (requires explicit authorization checkbox to proceed) or Strict Mode (hard-blocks signing until the rolling window clears).
100% in-app, zero on-chain gas overhead, zero third-party tracking.
Self-custody should feel safe. Available now on desktop.

Privatum v0.1.8 (experimental)
We just shipped an experimental cross-chain feature in v0.1.8: Relayer Spread Rebates In $PRIV.
The mechanics:
Most cross-chain bridges charge a hidden margin on top of gas (the relayer spread). privatum v0.1.8 isolates the relayerService fee and rebates 25% of that spread directly back to the bridging user in $PRIV on Robinhood Chain.
Details:
• chains: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Robinhood Chain
• ledger: micro-USD balance accounting with price volatility guards
• includes a patch to the v0.1.7 staking pipeline guaranteeing on-chain $PRIV unstake returns
