Monero (XMR) is a decentralized cryptocurrency designed to keep users’ privacy in mind, letting them transfer payments anonymously anywhere in the world using blockchain technology. It is an open-source project developed by an online community that contributes to upgrading its technology to find faster and more efficient uses for the cryptocurrency and its underlying infrastructure.
Since 2014, it has been one of the oldest digital assets in the market and features among the majors. Like Bitcoin, Monero was envisioned as a means to enable fast, cheap, and secure transactions in a peer-to-peer, encrypted manner using a blockchain network.
What makes Monero unique is that it allows for entirely private and anonymous transactions on its network, letting users conceal their identity while conducting transactions. XMR uses advanced cryptography features that will enable it to obscure the personal details of both senders and receivers on the Monero blockchain.
As of June 2022, Monero’s XMR ranks as the 28th largest crypto asset by market cap. The XMR coin not only enjoys a broad user base who conduct transactions anonymously using it but also features among the most popular cryptocurrencies to invest in among traders.
