Welcome to Planumex
Planumex (PEX) is a Hard Fork of the NXT Blockchain. The Hard Fork took place 11/19/2018 at block height: 2112952.
What is Planumex & the PEX Coin?The Planumex blockchain and PEX coin bridge the gap between interplanetary commerce. Creating the first cryptocurrency that will inter-operate between planets and be the primary currency for commerce or trade. A fully functional decentralized coin and cryptocurrency. Planumex was launched to become the primary interplanetary cryptocurrency and currency for commerce. As we approach the intergalactic age there will be an ever growing need for a singular coin to be used across the galaxy. Based on existing conditions this is nearly impossible until the Planumex (PEX) blockchain and cryptocurrency. Solving latency, speed, and communication between nodes across vast amounts of space.
The Planumex (PEX) blockchain allows for asset and token creation. Which will allow for planets and communities to create digital assets and chains that will communicate and interact with the Planumex (PEX) blockchain.
Planumex (PEX) is creating what we call “Satellite Nodes”. These nodes will be spread across space in strategic locations to allow fast and consistent transactions between planets and potentially even galaxies.

Download Wallet / Host a Public Node & Earn RewardsThe Existing ProblemsOne of the primary problems current cryptocurrencies have that are a PoW model is transaction and block time. If you are sending a transaction from space when you are synced to the chain at say block 12893 and initiate that transfer depending on block size and confirmations of your transaction may not reach another node in time before the next block generation. Meaning that your btc will be returned and the transaction will never make it into that block.
Profitability mining in space: For example as interplanetary travel become more mainstream thanks to Elon Musk and other great inventors of our time. There will be a surge of space mining, due to lower temperatures, and large consumption of solar energy to be acquired in space. However due to the above referenced problem, mining in space again will not produce any blocks into the chain because of an enormous amount of latency and lag. Thus any miners in space will be at a significant disadvantage and will be almost useless.
Another important point is the utility that each of these cryptocurrency has created. There is not one cryptocurrency that is center around an interplanetary consensus system that allows for governance across potentially the entire universe. Majority of these chains at this large of a scale would require more than 10 million gigabytes of data in just a few years. For an interplanetary chain to really work it needs to be lean and have not only a small energy footprint but also an extremely small data footprint as well.
The Planumex SolutionCreating the Planumex (PEX) Blockchain has allowed for us to edit and change certain settings within the primary core of the chain. Planumex is a Proof of Stake (PoS) cryptocurrency that relays on communication between nodes to confirm blocks, transactions, voting, and other features within the Planumex Blockchain. The PEX chain uses a unique method to update transactions within blocks incase of a delay or longer than usual transaction. NOTE this does not allow for an account to double spend as each node has public key balances updated with every block. Which in turns means that it knows if account XXX has already sent PEX from a previous block height and will decline the transaction.
The Planumex Blockchain does not using any mining algorithms. However using a Proof of Stake consensus model that rewards those that are forging on a public facing node. This in turn reduces the need for large amounts of energy and “mining farms” to produce transactions or block rewards for those transactions.
The primary utility of the Planumex (PEX) blockchain is to allow for interplanetary transactions or commerce. We have designed our blockchain in a way that would allow for easy connection and storage of data across vast amounts of space. Each block is a total of only a few gigabytes and will slowly grow to 1mb as more transaction are conducted. Our goal is to also have a longer block time to allow for more confirmation to be included in each block. Transaction confirmation are separate from block confirmations. Each transaction will receive a confirmation that it has been received or sent and a final block confirmation to include within the chain.
Features of the Planumex (PEX) BlockchainACCOUNT PROPERTIESTags that contain a small amount of data can be set to other accounts right on the blockchain itself and contain unique (property) and non-unique (value) information. These tags can be referenced publicly on the blockchain but can also be deleted by the tagged account.
Potential Uses: public verification or endorsement, customer identification
ASSET CREATIONAssets are tokens on top of the PEX blockchain that can be created to represent anything. Transferring assets from one user to another is recorded on the blockchain and uses PEX as a transaction fee. Dividends can be distributed in PEX to all asset holders and with the same transaction fee as if you were sending it to just one account – 1 PEX.
Potential Uses: shares, bonds, vouchers, and presale claims
ASSET EXCHANGEThe PEX AE enables users to trade assets with each other in a decentralized manner. All exchange fees to post or cancel a limit order or create market order have a flat fee of 1 PEX.
Potential Uses: exchange, fundraising with sell walls
ALIASES OR ID'SUsers are able to register combinations of letters and/or numbers, such as names and phone numbers, that are set to point to their PEX account, so that other users can send to an alias instead of a long account number, a URL, or any piece of arbitrary data.
Potential Uses: decentralized DNS, data reference, simplified transactions
CURRENCY CREATIONThrough the Monetary System, tokens can be created with special attributes normally associated with coins intended to be used for monetary purposes, such as requiring mining using SHA256, Scrypt, or multiple other mining algorithms, or making them controllable, where tokens are non-transferrable and can only be sent back to the issuer. Like assets, the transaction fees of these tokens are in PEX.
Potential Uses: loyalty coupons, club credits, personal funding IOUs
DATA CLOUDUsers are able to upload small files, such as small images and plain text files, into the blockchain itself, which can be accessed by anyone else. For private data, it is recommended to encrypt the file before uploading it.
Potential Uses: decentralized hash storage, open letters, notary services
MARKETPLACEOn the PEX Marketplace, users are able to purchase and list various products and services right on the blockchain itself, with no 3rd party restricting what can or can’t be listed. Prices of all goods are in PEX.
Potential Uses: marketplace
MESSAGINGArbitrary messages can be sent between accounts on their own or as part of a transaction. Messages can be encrypted and can be unlocked with the private key of either accounts as well as by any 3rd party with the shared key, if desired.
Potential Uses: private messaging, account allocation on a centralized database (some exchanges require a message for a deposit), transaction references
PHASED TRANSACTIONSUsers can set conditional transactions and properties to delay a transaction to be executed at a certain block height, after approval from whitelisted accounts, or after a hash is announced to the network.
Potential Uses: multi-factor authentication security for accounts, shared company accounts, and automatic transactions
SHUFFLINGThe Shuffling feature on PEX allows for a greater level of anonymity by having PEX, assets, or currencies from different voluntary accounts to be mixed and then have them appear on new accounts accessible with the respective passphrases created by each shuffling participant.
Potential Uses: privacy, post-distribution anonymity
VOTINGPolls can be created with up to 100 options for voters to choose from, with the ability to require more than one option be chosen. Votes can also be set to be weighed with the amount of these a user has, or restrict the voting weight to 1 per account but requiring a minimum amount of it. Alternative Voting systems are also possible where users can rank preferences with the options provided.
Potential Uses: add-on to government polling systems, shareholder voting, community decision-making
