Smart Cities on PYRAX
Smart cities coordinate transport, utilities, sensors, and services across millions of devices and residents, straining on interoperability, data privacy, and trust. PYRAX provides a shared coordination layer for IoT and municipal services with high-throughput settlement, verifiable data, and shielded resident information that stays private while authorized operators access it through viewing keys.

What's broken today
How PYRAX transforms it
Concrete network elements mapped to this business.
IoT coordination + GhostDAG throughput
Parallel, 500k-TPS-target block production lets millions of devices and residents transact - parking, tolls, metering, charging - with sub-cent, one-block settlement no linear chain can sustain.
Shielded-by-default privacy with viewing keys
Mobility, sensor, and utility data tied to residents stay shielded so the city cannot surveil individuals, while operators and auditors access aggregate or specific data lawfully through viewing keys.
eth_getProof verifiable municipal data
Sensor readings, service records, and automated decisions are anchored in verifiable state, letting residents and oversight bodies prove the data behind a fee, fine, or policy is genuine.
Multi-VM smart contracts (EVM / WASM / Cairo)
Dynamic pricing, service-level agreements with vendors, and cross-agency workflows are encoded as deterministic contracts that coordinate independent municipal systems.
BLS proof-of-stake finality
Toll, transit, and utility charges settle instantly and irreversibly, enabling real-time congestion pricing and pay-per-use utilities without reconciliation lag.
