PRICY: GHOST METALS
Physical Scarcity. Zero-Knowledge Proofs. Native Performance.

"Bitcoin is digital gold. Pricy is the protocol that lets you actually spend, shield, and settle digital silver without smart contracts."

WHY PRICY?

Most "Digital Metals" projects are built on fragile smart contracts. If the contract has a bug, the asset is gone. We believe that's a $4 Billion mistake. Pricy fixes this by making precious metals native primitives on our own Layer-1.

No Smart Contract Risk: Gold, Silver, and Platinum live in the base-layer, not in a risky script. [] The Privacy Gap: Public ledgers are a nightmare for wealth. Pricy introduces zkVault via ZK-Proof tech.

• Finality in Seconds: Built on a modified Proof-of-Stake (PoS) architecture, Pricy offers instant settlement that never forks.

PRODUCT INNOVATIONS

1. NATIVE ASSETS Instead of ERC-20 tokens, Pricy uses protocol-level tokens. They don't require "approval" transactions, they can't be "rug-pulled" by contract admins, and they move with the speed of the underlying chain.

2. ZCASH LEVEL PRIVACY Powered by AlgoPlonk, our ZK-Shielding allows users to "Freeze" their public metal holdings into a private state.

The Benefit: You can prove you own the metal to a merchant without revealing your total wallet balance or transaction history. The Tech: Zero-Knowledge logic signatures that break the on-chain link between sender and receiver. [/list]

3.DIGITAL PRECIOUS METALS

ICY Token: The network gas and security layer. Pure utility. [] N-Metals ($AU, $AG, $PT): The value layer. [/list]

PRICY vs. THE COMPETITION

Feature	Standard RWA Tokens	PRICY

GET INVOLVED

We aren't here to hype. We are here to build the infrastructure that the 2026 economy demands. The code is open. The vision is clear. The vault is open.

🌑 PRICY AIRDROP ANNOUNCEMENT
INTRODUCING GHOST PLATINUM (GP)
Scarcity. Utility. Invisibility.

We told you privacy was the new gold. We were wrong.
Privacy is Platinum.

In 2026, the surveillance state doesn't just watch your currency; it watches your commodities. Centralized "paper metal" exchanges and transparent stablecoins (PAXG, USDT-Gold) offer you exposure, but they demand your identity. They give you a receipt, but keep the keys.

Pricy is changing the standard. We are bringing the rarest industrial metal into the Shadow Vault.

💀 ENTER GHOST PLATINUM (GP) 💀

Total Supply: 10,000 GP (Fixed)
Type: Private Native Asset (pnRWA)
Platform: Pricy Layer-1 (zkVault Technology)
Distribution: Exclusive Airdrop to ICY Holders

❄️ THE ICY AIRDROP ❄️

LOYALTY IS ROYALTY.

We are not selling Ghost Platinum to the public. We are giving it to the believers.
The entire 10,000 GP supply will be airdropped to holders of ICY.

• Requirement: Hold ICY in a self-custody wallet (Shadow Vault compatible).
  
• Snapshot Date: Jan 18 2026
  
• Ratio: Pro-rata based on ICY holdings.

The banks have vaults you can't see inside.
Now, you have a vault they can't see inside.

There is no information about ICY token or blockchain but snapshot taken! snapshot of what exactly was taken?

Hello and thank you for the question. I apologize if the Mainnet details were easy to miss amidst the launch excitement. We got a lot of interest and holders so let’s clear this up immediately.

Here is the breakdown of exactly what was captured, what ICY is, and why this ecosystem is built this way.



1. THE SNAPSHOT: WHAT WAS TAKEN?

The snapshot yesterday recorded all wallet addresses holding ICY (our native gas & security token) on the Pricy Layer-1.

Why?
To determine eligibility for the Ghost Platinum (GP) distribution.
Since GP is capped at a strict 10,000 units, we are distributing it 100% to early adopters who secured the network by holding ICY. If you held ICY in a self-custody wallet during the snapshot, you are eligible.



2. ICY

It is crucial to understand that Pricy is not a token on Ethereum or Solana. We are a sovereign Layer-1 with ZK upgrades. Our history building Ethereum led us to launch project and solve a big opportunity. Private native assets.

ICY is the lifeblood of this privacy protocol.

• Network Fuel: Just as you need ETH to use Ethereum, you need ICY to pay for transaction fees on Pricy.
  
• Privacy Power: Generating Zero-Knowledge Proofs (to shield your assets) requires computational power. ICY pays for these "ZKP Vault" interactions.
  
• Security: As a Proof-of-Stake chain, ICY is staked to validate blocks and secure the ledger against attacks.
  

In short: ICY is the infrastructure play. Ghost Metals are the private native assets.



3. GHOST METALS

Why did we build a new blockchain just for metals?
Because in 2026, putting Gold on a public transparent contract (like ERC-20) is a privacy risk.

We introduced Ghost Metals as "Native Primitives."

• Not a Smart Contract: On most chains, a token is a piece of code (smart contract) that can be hacked or frozen by an admin key. On Pricy, Metal is built into the core protocol—just like the native coin. It is safer, faster, and immutable.
  
• The Privacy Gap: If you buy gold on a standard blockchain, everyone sees your balance. On Pricy, you can "Shield" your metal into a ZKP Vault. You own it, but the network only sees a cryptographic proof, not your balance.
  

SUMMARY


We are building the "Shadow Vault" for the post-CBDC world. We are glad to have you asking the hard questions early and happy to answer more in-depth in Discord. This a ton of additional information, including a tokenomics graph along with product updates: https://discord.gg/cenrzPfRCj
