Moving assets across blockchains is still slow, costly and confusing for many users. Pheasant Network aims to simplify it. A user types what they want, and the system handles the cross-chain steps. The project also has a token, PNT, with a claim page and a published allocation. This guide covers what the project does, how it works, what PNT is meant to do and what to verify first. Facts come from the official site and claim page. Where a figure comes from elsewhere, the text says so.
Key Takeaways
Pheasant Network is an AI-powered DeFi super app that turns prompts into cross-chain actions.
PNT is the governance and utility token, with 44.71% of the allocation set for users and community.
Several PNT utilities are listed as upcoming, so they are plans, not live features.
Pheasant Network is an AI-powered DeFi super app built around cross-chain intents. An intent is simply a goal, such as “move this token to that network.” The user states the goal, and the app works out the steps.
The site says a prompt can become onchain action across bridging, swapping, lending, staking and more. That places the project inside the DeFAI ecosystem, where DeFi tools and AI meet. The claim page credits Public Goods Labs Ltd, and the docs describe the project as community-driven and focused on public goods.

Piece
What it does
Optimistic Bridge
Fast, low-cost transfers, built on Ethereum Foundation supported infrastructure
Universal Swap
Swaps across 30+ networks and thousands of tokens
Pheasant Points
A loyalty layer that rewards ongoing participation
Super App
Combines AI and onchain actions for smarter intents
Pheasant NFTs
Mascot-based NFTs with PNT-linked utility (planned)
The claim page also lists support from names including Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, Scroll, Taiko, Linea, Alchemy and Gitcoin.
The flow has three parts.
Intent. The user writes a prompt that describes the goal.
Routing. AI picks a path across chains. The site calls this smarter routing and better paths.
Execution. A proprietary optimistic mechanism moves the assets. The site says it cuts gas fees and speeds up execution, though the pages reviewed do not explain the internals.
Behind this, the roadmap points to ERC-7683 for more reliable cross-chain intents and ERC-8004 so AI agents can act onchain. The site names three strengths:
AI powered: automates complex cross-chain actions.
Super app: one interface instead of switching between apps, networks and tools.
Cost-effective: fast, low-cost transfers across networks.
Universal Swap covers 30+ networks. The pages reviewed do not list each one, so the app is the place to confirm a specific chain. The claim itself runs on Ethereum, according to an exchange explainer.
Bridging moves an asset from one chain to another. Swapping trades one token for another. Cross-chain interoperability means doing both without leaving the ecosystem.
Normally, a user bridges in one app and swaps in another. With an intent, one prompt describes the end result, and the app handles both.
PNT is the governance and utility token of the project. As a PNT utility token, it is meant to reduce fees, power AI features and give holders a vote.
The PNT token supply is listed at 1 billion in exchange explainers. The claim page itself does not state the figure, so it is worth confirming in the official docs.

The community allocation is the largest share at 44.71%. Team and investors together hold 31.29%. The PNT amounts in the table are calculated from the 1 billion figure. Vesting schedules are not shown on the page reviewed, so lock-up terms need checking before conclusions are drawn.

Utility
Planned role
Smart Fees
Reduced fees, with higher balances unlocking more benefits
AI Engine
Smarter intent routing, AI agents and DeFAI tools
Ecosystem Plus
Extra benefits for relayers, onchain participants and community, plus Pheasant NFT initiatives
Governance
Onchain voting on the protocol
The site lists all four as upcoming.
Higher PNT balances are meant to unlock additional fee benefits on supported networks. On governance, holders are expected to vote on the roadmap, fee rules, treasury usage and grants.
The final roadmap phase goes further. Relayers open to third parties, and AI-assisted governance adds data-informed insights to decisions.

The claim page lets eligible wallets choose how to receive PNT. The steps are short: connect a wallet and check eligibility, choose a claim period, then confirm in the wallet.
The Deferred Claim is described as claiming later for a larger one-time allocation. The page is clear that this is not interest, yield or returns. Points are non-transferable, have no cash value and confer no right to PNT.

The shape is clear. The project starts with infrastructure, adds AI, then expands token utility, connects to real-world assets and hands governance to the community.
Domain. Start from pheasant.network and its linked pages. Look-alike claim sites exist, and a wallet should never be connected to an unfamiliar one.
Seed phrase. No official page needs it.
Roadmap items. Phases 3 to 5 are plans, not products.
Numbers. Token supply and claim terms should be matched against the official docs.
Price risk. New tokens are volatile, and AI-driven execution is still a young field.
Pheasant Network has a clear idea: one prompt in, one cross-chain result out. The first two roadmap phases are marked complete, while token utility and governance are still ahead. Readers who verify the official pages and treat upcoming features as plans will have the clearest picture.
