What Is Particl (PART)?

Particl stands out as both a privacy coin and a web3 platform dedicated to anonymous decentralized applications. Its primary offerings include the Particl Marketplace, a decentralized, eBay-style platform fostering private and unrestricted eCommerce, and BasicSwap, an anonymous cross-chain DEX platform supporting a variety of coins, like Monero. The core mission of Particl is to establish a digital economy that champions privacy, liberty, and freedom, completely independent of the global fiat system. The platform is designed to be compatible with a wide range of cryptocurrencies, aiming to make its benefits accessible to as many people as possible, thereby safeguarding their privacy and freedoms.

What is the PART Coin?

What is Particl Marketplace

Particl Marketplace is a decentralized, anonymous online marketplace similar to eBay but running exclusively on blockchain and P2P technology. It connects buyers and sellers across the globe, facilitating the trading of goods and services without borders, sales fees, or restrictions of any kind. This marketplace features a trustless, two-party escrow system, ensuring secure transactions between users who may not know each other, and all transactions are made using the PART privacy coin, thus maintaining anonymity from start to finish. The marketplace provides exceptional levels of user data protection as it doesn't generate any data or metadata, thus eliminating any risk of data leaks, mining, or misuse. Operating entirely on the Particl network, the marketplace functions autonomously, with each participating user's node contributing to its decentralization. This structure ensures there is no central authority or third-party involvement at any stage of the process.

What is BasicSwap DEX

BasicSwap is a privacy-focused, cross-chain, and atomic swap-based decentralized exchange (DEX) that enables trading of various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Monero, and Particl, without the need for intermediaries. Its distributed order book allows users to place or accept orders free of charge, facilitating trades in a free and open environment devoid of central points of failure. Developed as a countermeasure to not only the invasive data collection and privacy concerns prevalent in today's cryptocurrency exchanges, but also their custodianship risks, BasicSwap aims to provide a more reasonable and secure trading environment without fees. Its goal is to contribute to the growth of cryptocurrencies as a digital economy completely independent of the global fiat system.
