Pirate Chain announces the release of Skull Island the world's first z-z (shielded transactions)-only mobile Android wallet, with massive help from the community and Zero's Lead Developer CryptoForge.
It is typically very difficult to integrate zk-SNARKs shielded transactions into most platforms. Most projects choose both transparent and shielded addresses/transactions to ease integration; however, in this way, privacy becomes an optional secondary feature.
Pirate Chain has always taken the stance that Privacy by Default is the only viable option, and that Optional Privacy is Not Private at all. This is why our blockchain is 99% shielded, with the remaining 1% being transparent block rewards for on-chain audit.
