Monero is a decentralized cryptocurrency that makes payments private by default, keeping the sender, recipient, and amount hidden from the public.
Monero is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency designed to make digital transactions private by default. It uses cryptographic and network-level technologies to protect your financial information.
01Keep recipient addresses private
Stealth addresses create a unique, one-time destination for each transaction. This makes it difficult to publicly link incoming payments to a recipient's main address, helping protect recipient privacy when you send or receive XMR.
02Help hide the sender
Ring signatures mix a transaction with a group of possible signers. An outside observer can confirm that someone in the group authorized the payment, but it is difficult to determine which participant actually sent the funds.
03Keep transaction amounts private
Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) hide the amount being transferred while still allowing the Monero network to verify that the transaction is valid. This keeps XMR amounts confidential on the blockchain.
04Network-Level Privacy
Dandelion++ helps protect network-level privacy by changing how transactions propagate across the Monero network. It makes it harder for external observers to determine where a transaction broadcast originated, reducing the ability to associate a transaction with a user's IP address.
05Privacy is built into the protocol
Monero's privacy protections are built into the protocol and apply by default to transactions on the network. There is no separate privacy mode to enable, helping protect transaction details and preserve the fungibility of XMR.
06Share access without giving up control
A view key lets someone see your incoming transactions without being able to spend your funds. Share it with an accountant or auditor when you need to prove payments, and keep full control of your XMR.
