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.

News like this is exactly why we started thinking deeper about privacy.
It is not only about someone seeing a wallet balance. It is your ID, your account history, the coins you own, and enough information for someone else to build a picture of your life.
Nobody should have to wait for a breach to realize how much they have handed over.
We are building Privatum around that reality. Keep control of your funds, and give away as little of yourself as possible.
Stay $PRIV
A quick guide to the gasless side of Privatum.
Go to https://t.co/VIevvFwmkz, download the desktop app, then open the Stake $PRIV tab. 10k $PRIV gives you 25 sponsored transactions for 30 days.
50k gives you 100.
Every extra 50k adds 75 more.
1m unlocks unlimited.
You stake into the protocol pool, and the app keeps track of your pass, your quota, and when it is time to renew. When you send or swap, the protocol covers the gas while your allowance is active.
You can also unstake from the same tab whenever you want.
No more keeping $ETH around just to make a transaction.
Basically, the people you send to most are saved on your own device, so you can tap their name instead of pasting a long wallet address every time. Privatum does not track or store that list.
Sending to the same people should not mean pasting an address every time.
Shipped: recent contact quick-send.
Your three most recent contacts now sit above the send field. One tap and you are ready to send.
They come from your local address book, not your onchain history and not our servers. We do not index your transaction graph. Nothing leaves your device.

Every send now ends with a receipt you can keep. $PRIV
Privatum v0.1.15 adds signed transaction receipts with the hash, timestamp, fee, privacy mode, and a QR code that opens the transaction in the explorer.
Most wallets show a confirmation that disappears in seconds. Now you have a record you can export and keep.
Self-custody should leave you with more than a toast.
@murtaza This is why we are building Privatum.
The options should not be one key, one seed phrase, or handing your whole financial life to a company.
Retail needs self-custody that is safer to use, easier to recover, and less exposed by default.
Stay $PRIV
Privacy in payments needs to be more than a label. Users need control over what stays private, alongside a clear answer for what may need to be disclosed and to whom.
We are building Privatum around the wallet and payment layer on Robinhood Chain. Different stack, shared questions. Would be good to compare notes with the Midnight team.
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

Privatum Desktop now has an on-device assistant. $PRIV
It runs local inference through WebAssembly and WebGPU, so your conversation and transaction context stay on your machine. It cannot access private keys, sign, or broadcast anything.
Before you send, it can flag look-alike addresses, check a transfer against your 24-hour limits, and explain what you are about to sign in plain English.
Open Privatum Desktop and press Ctrl+K to try it.
