Pillar (PLR) is a cryptocurrency token built on the Ethereum blockchain, created by the Pillar Project. The team behind it set out to build a personal data and wallet platform that would let users control their digital identity and assets without relying on third parties. The PLR token was sold during a 2017 crowdsale and is used within the project's ecosystem.
Frequently asked questions
What is Pillar and how is it different from other crypto projects?
Pillar started as an ambitious attempt to create a decentralized personal data management platform and a smart wallet that puts users in charge of their own information. Unlike many projects that focus purely on payments, Pillar's core idea was giving people ownership of their digital identity. The PLR token lives on Ethereum as an ERC-20 style token, which makes it compatible with the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
How does the Pillar token work technically?
PLR is an Ethereum-based token governed by a smart contract at address 0xe3818504c1b32bf1557b16c238b2e01fd3149c17. That means it inherits the security and consensus mechanism of the Ethereum network itself — there is no separate Pillar blockchain or mining. Transactions in PLR are validated by Ethereum validators just like any other token transfer on the network.
How is the PLR token supply structured?
The total supply of PLR was created during the project's token sale in 2017, and no new tokens are minted over time. The fixed maximum supply was established at the token's creation through the smart contract. This means the emission model is fully set — changes to supply would require community and contract-level decisions.
How can I store and use Pillar tokens?
Since PLR is an Ethereum-based token, it can be stored in any wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens, such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or a hardware wallet like Ledger. You'll need a small amount of ETH in the same wallet to cover network fees when moving tokens.
