Private, programmable money.
TKMChain is an EVM-compatible network for people who want useful digital money without publishing every amount, relationship, and conversation to the world.

Network at a glance
- Shield3: proof-checked private transactions
- Tor: onion-only peer networking
- Post-quantum accounts: ML-DSA-87 signatures
- Runtime: EVM, TVM, and RandomX proof of work

- Communications: TKM Phone and EmailVM
- Network anchor: finality through block 41913
Privacy is part of settlement
Shield3 lets the network verify authorization, balance, and replay protection without publishing plaintext amounts and recipients to every observer.
Shield3 private transactions
Shield3 uses encrypted notes, one-time output keys, proof-bound intents, and nullifiers. Multiple private inputs are supported, while consensus enforces bounded resources and a 5,000,000 TKM operation limit.
Viewing and payment disclosure keys let you share one payment or a scoped history with a bank, auditor, or counterparty when you choose. The public chain still exposes fields required for consensus, such as hashes, commitments, nullifiers, gas, and block inclusion.

A more private network path
Onion-only mode routes configured peer traffic through Tor, disables clearnet discovery and NAT advertising, and publishes an onion hostname instead of a public IP. Nodes refuse unsafe startup when the onion configuration is incomplete.
Tor reduces direct network-origin exposure; it does not erase timing or endpoint metadata. Local wallet and prover calls stay on loopback so private keys and proof material do not travel over the network.

Money, identity, and messages
TKM Phone and EmailVM make encrypted communications network-aware without putting plaintext conversations on-chain.
TKM Phone records number ownership, device authorization, encrypted messages, and call signaling through the daemon. EmailVM binds domains and mailboxes to canonical chain state and encrypts messages for published mailbox keys.
The chain can verify that an action was authorized and paid without receiving the message body, private key, or audio. Your endpoint still matters: protect your device, browser, recovery material, and recipient access.

Build on familiar EVM rails
Use standard wallets and RPC where compatibility helps. Use TKM-specific APIs for privacy, post-quantum accounts, TVM, communications, mining, and governance.
RandomX mining

EVM and TVM
Ethereum-compatible contracts plus bounded deterministic native modules. Explore developer tools
Verifiable governance
Rotating Kings, signed disclosures, checkpoints, and a permanent block-41913 boundary. Explore governance
Validator registration
Antartical validators use an ML-DSA-87 consensus envelope, a 500,000 TKM bond, a 720-block activation queue, and a 21,600-block unbonding period. Read the validator operator guide
