Monero XMR
Privacy-focused digital payments.
Monero is a digital currency designed to limit the transaction details visible on its blockchain. XMR is its native coin.
What is Monero?
Monero uses privacy features to obscure who sends and receives a transfer and how much is sent. These features are part of the network’s transaction design. They do not guarantee anonymity in every situation.
Privacy also depends on wallet security and information shared outside the blockchain. Monero does not promise complete anonymity.
