Monero

Protocolo P2P

A privacy-first cryptocurrency protocol using ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT to obscure sender, receiver, and transaction amount by default (not opt-in privacy). RandomX (a CPU-optimized Proof-of-Work algorithm, adopted 2019) is the current consensus mechanism, chosen specifically to resist ASIC mining centralization. No foundation or company controls it — development is fully community/donation-funded via the Monero Community Crowdfunding System (CCS).

Protocolo P2P Atributos

Origens Privacy-by-default cryptocurrency, forked from the CryptoNote protocol (2014), built so every transaction is private by default rather than optional.
Banco de Dados N/A (privacy design deliberately limits chain queryability by outside observers)
Linguagem de Consulta N/A
Formatos de Dados Custom binary block/transaction format.
Edição Colaborativa em Tempo Real N/A
Edição de Texto Rico N/A
Suporte Móvel Via third-party wallets (Cake Wallet, Monerujo, official Monero GUI/CLI).
Suporte Web N/A directly; wallet ecosystem provides access.
Aplicativos Nativos Official GUI and CLI wallet/node software (monero-project).
Termos Free, open-source; network fees paid to miners.
Fundos CCS is proposal-by-proposal, not a pooled treasury — no single "funds" figure to report.
Baseado Em Forked from CryptoNote (Bytecoin's protocol lineage), with RingCT and RandomX as Monero-original extensions.
Arquitetura P2P Gossip network of full nodes; RandomX PoW mining (CPU-optimized specifically to resist ASIC centralization).
Rede de Sobreposição Global, permissionless.
Endereçamento por Conteúdo No.
Local-First N/A
Criptografia de Ponta a Ponta (E2EE) Not applicable in the messaging sense, but the protocol's core design goal is transaction-level privacy (ring signatures obscure the sender among decoys, stealth addresses obscure the recipient, RingCT obscures the amount) — relevant to this matrix's privacy-affordance lens even though it isn't E2EE-messaging encryption.
Biblioteca de CRDTs N/A
Tolerância a Falhas Bizantinas Nakamoto-consensus-equivalent (PoW longest-chain, RandomX-specific).
Assinatura EdDSA (ed25519-variant), with ring signatures layered on top for sender ambiguity.
Permissões Permissionless.
Compatibilidade com a Web Semântica No.
Contrato Inteligente No — deliberately minimal scripting, prioritizing privacy and simplicity over programmability.
Posição na Pilha de Protocolo Base-layer settlement (Layer 1), privacy-focused, no comparable L2 ecosystem.
Incorporação de Ativo / Valor Native (XMR) only — no token-issuance layer (by design, to avoid diluting the privacy guarantee).
Maturidade / Padronização do Protocolo Mature, mainnet since 2014, no formal external standards body, longest continuously-operating privacy-coin protocol.
