Monero is a cryptoasset focused on fungibility. It maintains state using a proof-of-work blockchain secured by CryptoNightV7 mining. Unlike most other projects, the Monero blockchain is opaque and transactions encrypt the recipient and amounts; and obfuscate the spent output. This requires cryptography that combines ring signatures, Confidential Transactions, and efficient range proofs (Bulletproofs).
The library includes:
- Implementations of ring signatures and bulletproofs
- Data structures: network protocol, addresses, blocks, and transactions
- Transaction composition API
- Transaction signing under a signature oracle
- Transaction (de)serialization to wire format
- Owned output detection
