Monero

Private-by-default digital cash.

A proof-of-work cryptocurrency where every transaction hides its sender (ring signatures), receiver (one-time stealth addresses) and amount (RingCT with Bulletproofs+). RandomX mining favours ordinary CPUs, and a small perpetual tail emission keeps miners paid.

How do privacy coins like Monero and Zcash work?

Monero hides the sender, recipient and amount by default with ring signatures, stealth addresses and RingCT. Zcash uses zk-SNARKs for shielded funds. Compare both designs, their weaknesses, exchange delistings and EU rules due in 2027.
