Monero: a closer look

What Monero is

Monero (XMR) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency launched in April 2014 as a fork of Bytecoin, built on the CryptoNote protocol. It is developed by an open community without a company or pre-mine behind it.

How Monero works

Every transaction hides its details by default: ring signatures mix the real sender with decoys, stealth addresses create a one-time destination for each payment, and RingCT hides the amount. Mining uses the RandomX algorithm, designed for ordinary processors, with a new block about every 2 minutes. After the main emission ended, a small permanent reward of 0.6 XMR per block keeps miners paid.

What Monero is for

Monero is used for private payments and savings, when users do not want their balance and history to be visible to anyone who knows their address. Because all coins look the same on-chain, XMR is fully fungible.

Sending XMR

Main Monero addresses start with 4, subaddresses with 8; they are much longer than Bitcoin addresses. Received funds become spendable after 10 confirmations (about 20 minutes). Fees are low and do not depend on the amount.

Where to keep Monero

Use official or well-known Monero wallets for desktop and mobile; some hardware wallets also support XMR. Keep the 25-word seed offline.

What to keep in mind

Because of regulatory pressure, XMR is not listed on many large exchanges, so liquidity can be concentrated on fewer venues. As with any coin, the price is volatile.
