PECU NOVUS
Blockchain Infrastructure for the Next Era of Finance

Pecu Novus is a high-performance, carbon-neutral Layer-1 blockchain network purpose-built for real-world financial infrastructure. Originally conceived in 2016 and launched in January 2017, the network has undergone continuous evolution — from its foundational architecture through the complete Pecu 2.0 overhaul in 2022, to the current Pecu 3.0 Themis upgrade rolling out across 2025–2027.

At its core, Pecu Novus is designed to solve the fundamental problems that have held back institutional blockchain adoption: speed without compromise, compliance without friction, and scalability without centralization.

The network operates on a hybrid Proof of Time (PoT) and Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism — a proprietary, energy-efficient model that combines time-based validation with stake-weighted participation, rooted in Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) principles. This allows Pecu Novus to process over 110,000 transactions per second through its PNP16 protocol, with throughput scaling 3–5x as the global Validator node network expands.

Pecu Novus was stress-tested at 110,000+ TPS in real-time conditions — not theoretical projections. That throughput is designed to scale 3–5x as more Validator nodes join the network.

With ERC-1400 (security token standard) alongside PNP16, Pecu Novus embeds compliance, identity-aware transfers, and regulatory controls directly into the protocol layer:

• Regulated tokenized securities with audit-ready transfer logic
• Deep, transparent asset metadata via PNP16's high-fidelity data framework
• Permissioned private forks for enterprise and government deployments
• ERC-20 compatibility for seamless interoperability with the broader Ethereum ecosystem
• Solidity smart contract deployment — developers can write and deploy EVM-compatible contracts directly on Pecu Novus

The hybrid PoT/PoS model eliminates the energy arms race of Proof of Work networks. No specialized mining hardware required — standard devices can run Validator nodes. The network maintains carbon-neutral status aligned with global sustainability mandates.

• Time-based validation uses random wait times to ensure equal opportunity for block creation — no hardware arms race
• Stake-weighted participation adds economic accountability without plutocratic control
• BFT foundation ensures network integrity even when individual nodes behave unpredictably

• Timed escrow with automatic dated release for real estate, trade finance, and import/export
• Dual confirmation requiring both sender and receiver to authorize transactions
• MVault smart contracts with a no-code deployment interface
• Transaction notes permanently recorded on-chain for audit trails

• Rust 1.75+ (rustup update stable)
• Cargo

TypeScript / JavaScript

npm install @pecunovus/sdk

Python

pip install pecu-sdk

Go

go get github.com/MegaHoot/pecu-sdk-go

TypeScript

import { PecuClient } from "@pecunovus/sdk";

const client = new PecuClient({ rpcUrl: "http://localhost:8545" });
const wallet = await client.createWallet();
const balance = await client.getBalance(wallet.evmAddress);
const tx = await client.sendTransaction(wallet.evmAddress, "0xRecipient", PecuClient.toRaw(100));

Python

from pecu_sdk import PecuClient

client = PecuClient("http://localhost:8545")
wallet = client.create_wallet()
balance = client.get_balance(wallet["evmAddress"])
tx = client.send_transaction(wallet["evmAddress"], "0xRecipient", PecuClient.to_raw(100))

Go

import "github.com/MegaHoot/pecu-sdk-go/pecu"

client := pecu.NewClient("http://localhost:8545")
wallet, _ := client.CreateWallet(ctx)
balance, _ := client.GetBalance(ctx, wallet.EvmAddress)
tx, _ := client.SendTransaction(ctx, wallet.EvmAddress, "0xRecipient", pecu.ToRaw(100), "")

The node exposes a JSON-RPC server on http://localhost:8545. All requests use POST / or POST /rpc with Content-Type: application/json.

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "method_name",
  "params": [...],
  "id": 1
}

With the Pecu 3.0 Themis upgrade, Pecu Novus offers full EVM equivalence:

• Deploy existing Solidity contracts without modification
• Use familiar tools — Hardhat, Foundry, Remix, Truffle
• Leverage OpenZeppelin libraries for battle-tested token standards
• Connect with MetaMask, WalletConnect, and any ERC-20-compatible wallet
• Interact via standard JSON-RPC — existing dApps can point to Pecu Novus with a simple RPC endpoint change

The difference: Your Solidity contracts execute on a network delivering 110,000+ TPS with hybrid PoT + PoS consensus and built-in compliance primitives — capabilities unavailable on Ethereum mainnet.

Based on Verifiable Delay Functions (VDF):

y = x^(2^T) mod N

• x = input seed (transaction hash / block hash)
• T = delay steps (sequential, non-parallelizable)
• y = output proof (instantly verifiable)

weight = uptime_seconds × √(stake + 1)

This combines time commitment (PoT) with economic stake (PoS) while BFT guarantees tolerate Byzantine failures up to ⅓ of validators.
