Payments Secured by Proof
Every payment is an authorization decision.
The Problem
Traditional payment rails rely on intermediaries and expose sensitive data.
Intermediaries
Centralized processors control settlement and introduce single points of failure.
Data Exposure
Sensitive payment information is visible to multiple parties in the transaction chain.
Slow Settlement
Traditional rails take 2-3 days to settle, creating liquidity gaps and risk.
The Solution
PTERI enables confidential, verifiable settlement using cryptographic proof.
Confidential
Transaction amounts and addresses remain private while maintaining verifiability.
Verifiable
Every transaction is cryptographically signed and independently verifiable.
Instant
Settlement happens in seconds, not days, eliminating liquidity risk.
Why Proof-of-Work Matters
Satoshi's system showed decentralized verification backed by energy creates objective truth.
Proof-of-Work anchors digital transactions to physical reality through energy expenditure. This creates an immutable, timestamped record that cannot be retroactively altered without redoing the computational work.
By leveraging Litecoin's MWEB protocol, PTERI combines the security of Proof-of-Work with confidential transactions, enabling payments that are both private and provably valid.
