Pecu Novus 3.0 Themis - Pecu Novus Blockchain Network: Blockchain Infrastructure that is Scalable, Fast, Secure, and Cost Effective

Themis

2025 Network Upgrade

The Pecu 3.0 Upgrade “THEMIS”

| The Pecu Novus Blockchain Upgrade “THEMIS”

Pecu Novus has undergone a significant upgrade on September 24, 2025 with the introduction of Themis, a new consensus mechanism that replaces the current Proof of Time (PoT) with a more advanced and globally inclusive hybrid Proof of Time (PoT)- Proof of Stake (PoS) model. Themis enhances scalability, fairness, and participation, while also ensuring that Pecu Novus remains competitive with Web2 infrastructure and fully prepared for continual Web3 integration.

| Core Features of Themis

∞ Delegator-Validator Model

Delegators are the actual stakers and hold full control over their staked accounts.
Validators attach themselves to delegators’ trees in order to participate in consensus and earn rewards.
Delegator Tree Structures:
- Permissioned: Delegators choose which validators can participate.
- Permissionless: Validators can freely join a delegator’s tree.
Validators cannot switch delegators once attached.

∞ Validator Fees and Rewards

A flat Validator Fee of 1.5 PECU per Epoch is deducted from validator rewards.
Validator fees are systematically burned, introducing a deflationary mechanism to the PECU economy.
Rewards are split equally between delegators and validators after fees.
Inconsistent or offline validators earn zero rewards for the epoch, incentivizing performance.

∞ Epoch Lifecycle

Each Epoch lasts ~48 hours, consisting of 400,000–432,000 slots.
Slots = blocks, each finalized in ~150ms.
Each block carries 7–12 transactions, driving high throughput and speed.
Lifecycle:
- Epoch N → active
- Epoch N+1 → upcoming
- Epoch N-1 → historical

| Reward Distribution

PECU Reward Structure under Themis

∞ Annual Maximum Reward Pool: 20 million PECU until the 2027 halving.

∞ Epoch Reward Pool: ~109,800 PECU.

∞ Epochs Per Year: 182.5.

∞ After 2027 halving: 10 million PECU per year.

∞ Example:

Delegator’s stake = 2% of total staking.
Delegator receives 2% of rewards for that Epoch (~2,196 PECU), minus validator fees.

Fairness and Global Inclusion

No enforced staking limits, but no single delegator can control more than 2% of the reward and voting stakes.
Promotes broad participation and fairness across the network.
Validators require zero upfront cost, making global participation possible.
Validator fees are only imposed post-Epoch, lowering entry barriers.

| Technical Enhancements

Rust Integration: Rust will be introduced alongside Pecu Novus’ C++ core, with SDKs and tools provided in both languages. Additional language support will follow.
Cross-Chain Bridges: Bridges to major networks including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, BNB Chain, and Avalanche will expand interoperability by end of 2025.
Deflationary Economics: Validator fees are burned, reducing supply over time.
High-Speed Execution: 150ms finality per slot and multi-transaction blocks enhance competitiveness with Web2 systems while ensuring continual Web3 integration and readiness.

| Value Proposition

For Delegators:

∞ Full control over staked accounts.

∞ Ability to split stakes across multiple validators.

∞ Authority to deactivate underperforming validators.

∞ Equal reward-sharing structure ensures alignment with validators.

For Validators:

∞ Zero cost to participate (no staking required).

∞ Earn rewards through performance.

∞ Incentivized to remain consistent and online.

For the Ecosystem:

∞ Scalability and transaction throughput on par with modern Web2 systems.

∞ Fairness through decentralization and enforced stake caps.

∞ Long-term sustainability with reward halvings and deflationary tokenomics.

∞ Global accessibility without high barriers to entry.
