It is already worth more than the typical coin in Privacy Coins ($7.28M). To match the leader, Decred ($292.32M), its price would need to rise 555%, to about $1.49.
Still to check
- No dated promise on record yet, so delivery cannot be judged
- Listed on fewer than two big exchanges
- No named investor among its tags
- Only 3 headlines named it last month
What to do Nothing dated is ahead and nothing has been delivered on record. There is no event to wait for yet, which is itself the answer.
A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.
Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.
Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.
Does it deliver?
No dated promise has been found on the pages this project publishes. Its pages are saved every night, so anything it commits to from now on appears here.

Privacy Coins: this coin next to Decred, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.
- Pirate Chain says
- Pirate Chain (ARRR) is a 100% private send cryptocurrency.
- Decred says
- Decred is a cryptocurrency where coin holders vote on network changes and treasury spending, and development is paid for from the network's own treasury.
Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.
Pirate Chain (ARRR) is a 100% private send cryptocurrency. It uses a privacy protocol that cannot be compromised by other users’ activity on the network.
Problem it says it solves: private payments. 21 coins are working on it and together they are worth $29,751,829,740. This coin is 0% of that.
Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.
Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.
What should make me careful?
Nothing printed today
None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

Privacy Coins: this coin next to the group's largest, Decred.
| Pirate Chain | Decred | |
|---|---|---|
| Years trading | 8 years | 11 years |
| Major exchanges | 0 | 3 |
| Named backers | 0 | 1 |
| Headlines, last month | 3 | 1 |
| Promises delivered | no record | no record |
What it says is different: Pirate Chain (ARRR) is a 100% private send cryptocurrency. It uses a privacy protocol that cannot be compromised by other users’ activity on the network.
It is 15.3% the size of Decred. On the facts above it is behind on years trading, major exchanges, named backers. For that gap to close, the record would need deliveries showing up in its record, news that names it, listings on major exchanges. Nothing here says it will; the site does not predict.
The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.
