Pecu 3.0 Themis Phase 2 - ERC-20

| 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.

| ERC-20 Layer

The upcoming late March 2026 Themis upgrade introduces a native interoperability layer that allows Pecu Novus to communicate with the Ethereum blockchain using ERC‑20‑standard interfaces. This does not convert Pecu Novus into an Ethereum‑based chain, instead it creates a bridge‑level compatibility layer that exposes ERC‑20‑compliant functions while preserving Pecu Novus’s unique architecture.

What This Enables

∞ PECU becomes ERC‑20 compatible
∞ All Pecu‑minted (PNP16) tokens (DCNs, DBTs, Venture Tokens, XMG Series Tokens, CryptoPairs, RWA tokens etc) can be represented as ERC‑20 assets

This should allow tokens to be held in:

∞ MetaMask
∞ Coinbase Wallet
∞ Ledger/Trezor
∞ Fireblocks, BitGo, Anchorage, Copper
∞ Any ERC‑20‑compliant exchange or trading platform

Institutions can integrate Pecu‑based assets without custom infrastructure and developers can build cross‑chain applications using familiar ERC‑20 tooling which dramatically expands the reach of the Pecu Novus ecosystem. This was purposely integrated for the benefit of the entire Pecu Novus ecosystem.

What this does and why it was essential for this second phase of Pecu 3.0 Themis to roll out.

∞ Institutional Accessibility
∞ Liquidity Expansion
∞ Developer Growth
∞ Enterprise and RWA Tokenization

| 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

| 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.

| Reward Distribution

| Value Proposition

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.

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.
