Guides, tutorials, and news about Monero and cryptocurrency privacy
Monero hides amounts and addresses on-chain, but your transaction still leaves from one IP. Dandelion++ is the protocol that scrambles that origin across the P2P network — here is how stem-and-fluff routing works and where its limits are.
CLSAG is the ring signature scheme that hides who sent a Monero transaction. Here's what the acronym means, how key images stop double-spends, why it shrank transactions 25%, and what FCMP++ changes next.
Bulletproofs+ replaced Bulletproofs in Monero's 2022 hard fork, cutting range-proof size ~5–7%. Here's how the two zero-knowledge proofs differ — and why it's a speed win, not a privacy one.
RingCT is the protocol that hides how much Monero moves in every transaction. Here's how Pedersen commitments and Bulletproofs+ range proofs conceal amounts while still letting the network verify no coins are minted from thin air.
Monero's Jamtis addresses bring encrypted address tags, tiered view keys, and built-in Janus-attack protection. Here's what the Seraphis and FCMP++ addressing overhaul means for how you receive, scan, and delegate access to your XMR.
Monero's FCMP++ upgrade swaps 16-member ring signatures for full-chain membership proofs, growing the anonymity set from 16 decoys to every output on the blockchain. Here's what changes in 2026 and why it matters.
Monero hides every sender in a ring of 16 using CLSAG signatures and key images. Here is how ring signatures work, how they differ from RingCT, and what FCMP++ changes.
Seraphis is Monero's proposed next-generation transaction protocol. We break down what it changes, how Jamtis and FCMP++ relate, and where it really stands on the 2026 roadmap.
The only mainstream hardware wallet for Monero is the Ledger Nano. Here's how to install the Monero app and pair it with the official GUI wallet in 2026, with on-device address checks.
