Empower Your Privacy
Embrace Your Freedom
Navio is the world's only fully private blockchain powered by our unique Proof-of-Private-Stake (PoPS) consensus mechanism.
Designed as a decentralized privacy platform, Navio makes private blockchain applications easily accessible to anyone. Running on the cutting-edge blsCT protocol and PoPS consensus, every transaction on this chain remains private by default.
We facilitate anonymous payments, enable decentralized banking and provide a truly untraceable blockchain experience.
If you believe that privacy is not just a luxury but a fundamental human right, then join us in reclaiming personal freedom and autonomy, and reject the pervasive surveillance of the digital age.
You can find important milestones about Navio blockchain below.
Phase 1: 11 July 2024
Phase 2: 15 December 2024
Phase 3: An announcement will be made.
Final Phase: An announcement will be made.
The token is NAVIO, the ticker is NAV. The private-by-default cryptocurrency of our ecosystem ensures that all transaction details such as sender, receiver and transferred amount remain fully hidden.
Following the Cypherpunk ethos, Navio follows decentralized governance - no hierarchies, no barriers, and open to anyone who shares the vision to join the mission, contribute and build.
Anonymous staking, where neither the staker’s identity nor the staked amount is disclosed. Each block is untraceable and obfuscates any link between blocks staked by the same user
Private tokens are a unique feature of the ecosystem, enabling users to mint their own privacy-preserving token, or bridge existing tokens onto the Navio blockchain, for full anonymity.
Navio’s private NFTs protect ownership details and metadata, eliminating the exposure seen on public blockchains and ensuring full privacy of your digital assets.
Navio’s privacy features are ideal for developers building dApps focused on default anonymity. Our protocol is designed to be easily integrated with other ecosystems.
Navio is a privacy-centric, high-utility blockchain ecosystem that leverages our innovative blsCT protocol and the world's first Proof-of-Private-Stake (PoPS) consensus mechanism to offer a range of powerful features and use cases.
Our goal is to empower developers to build private, decentralized dApps on the Navio platform, expanding access to financial privacy for more individuals worldwide.
NAV, the privacy coin of the Navio blockchain, ensures all payments are private by default, concealing the sender, receiver, and amount. All transactions are fast, scalable, and cost-effective.
Maintaining private payments is essential for financial freedom. Unlike Bitcoin and other pseudonymous cryptocurrencies, where transactions can be traced and identities linked, Navio guarantees full anonymity.
Any existing token from other ecosystems such as Ethereum, Avalanche, BSC and more can be bridged onto the Navio blockchain to benefit from our privacy shield.
The core ethos of decentralized finance, autonomy and self-sovereignty, are most effectively upheld by empowering users with anonymity. As such, if a network lacks proper privacy, Navio ensures privacy is brought onto its token.
PoPS (Proof-of-Private-Stake) is a privacy-focused consensus mechanism that integrates confidential schemes with Pedersen Commitments to conceal transaction amounts and ensures that the staked amount and the staker's identity remain hidden.
A key feature of PoPS is coin locking. When coins are locked, they serve as collateral for the participation in staking for the upcoming epochs. Once the epoch is completed, they will be unlocked and accessible for further transactions.
Our PoPs consensus mechanism empowers NAV stakers to actively participate in decision-making by voting on consultations and proposals, with equal voting weight and no barriers to submitting ideas.
These features enable Navio to remain self-funded, self-guided, and self-governed through consensus-driven changes, ensuring its sustainability and growth for generations to come. Our strength lies in community.
With great privacy comes great responsibility, and we are thrilled to see Navio evolve into a high-utility privacy platform. We're excited to offer both new and existing ecosystems the ability to leverage Navio's privacy-preserving features, ensuring they can achieve the same level of security and confidentiality that Navio itself provides.
Private tokens are a unique feature of the Navio ecosystem, allowing anyone to mint their own privacy-preserving tokens using our blsCT protocol.
Transactions involving these tokens are as private as standard NAV transactions, obfuscating details such as token balance, sent amounts, recipients, and the source of funds.
Private NFTs offer confidential ownership by concealing asset and transaction details. Unlike traditional NFTs, which expose ownership and transaction histories publicly, private NFTs shield this information from being traced.
Ownership, transfers, and authenticity are securely validated on-chain, all while keeping sensitive data completely hidden.
Leveraging the Navio on-chain trading protocol utilizing Atomic Swaps and BLS signatures, we are building a decentralized exchange exclusively for Navio users. This platform will facilitate the trading of private, wrapped versions of various tokens.
Our goal is to create a fully decentralized ecosystem where privacy is fundamental, with this exchange being a pivotal component.
Our community consists of idealists bound by a shared vision: a decentralized, private blockchain ecosystem where every user action is private by default. This is a principle we are committed to upholding without compromise.
We are driven not by the pursuit of wealth but by the pursuit of freedom; for ourselves and for anyone who shares our values. If this vision resonates with you, we invite you to join us on this journey.
