PIVX ALLIANCE REGISTRYEST. 2018 · REVIVED 2026 · PRE-PROPOSAL
Every PIVX alliance, on the public record.
In 2018 a fake “official partnership” nearly defined what a PIVX alliance was. This register exists so that never happens again: every alliance is visible, dated, and revocable — ratified by masternode governance, recorded here, expiring on schedule, and disavowed in public when a claim has no record behind it.

Expired alliances remain listed deliberately: history is part of the record. The DegenSwap entry demonstrates the disavowal mechanism and is marked as a demo. Open governance questions are tracked on the protocol page.
Why a register at all
January 2018: the wound
AriseBank — a fake “decentralized bank” — announced an “official partnership” with PIVX. Its founder, Jared Rice Sr., was later sentenced to five years in federal prison and ordered to pay $4.26M in restitution. PIVX had no framework that defined what an official partnership even was, and no register to point to that said “yes, real” or “never was”.
February 2018: the draft cure
Ten days later, community members drafted the PIVX Alliance Protocol: alliances are official only by governance vote, term-limited to twelve months, and vetted against a standard sheet. It was sound — and it was never hosted. Two alliances later passed in its spirit (ARK.io 2021, BlockDX 2022). The cure existed on paper only. This registry hosts it.
