Congratulations on a successful network upgrade! 🎉
#Monero is now more private and efficient with ringsize 16, Bulletproofs+, and view tags!
Make sure your node/wallet is updated to continue using Monero.
Privacy and fungibility matter, and it’s exciting to keep improving!
The long-awaited Perkins Coie whitepaper is now available!
"Anti-Money Laundering Regulation of Privacy-Enabling Cryptocurrencies"
This 40 page report is the most comprehensive to-date on compliance and Monero and will greatly assist adoption of XMR!

Monero is a decentralized, private cryptocurrency. There’s absolutely no way to prevent anyone from using Monero in noncustodial wallets. Period.
Devs have spent over 7 years building the most private and decentralized money in existence. #Monero is best prepared for anything!
Please withdraw your #Monero from Binance before February 20th.
We strongly recommend that you withdraw your XMR to a self-custody wallet. Make sure to save a secure backup of your mnemonic seeds!
Recommended wallets: getmonero.org/downloads/
The delisting is happening because Binance is now requiring that deposits come from a publicly transparent address. Monero has used stealth addresses for ALL addresses since it’s launch in April 2014
Monero allows selective disclosure with view keys but not a transparent address
Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) - The Next Generation of Monero's Privacy
Thanks to @VOSTOEMISIO and @xenumonero for producing this excellent explanatory video and to our generous community for funding it!
The #Monero community is celebrating the project's 8th birthday today - eight years of fulfilling the cypherpunk vision of decentralized, censorship-resistant, privacy-preserving digital cash.
Happy #Moneroversary to all! 🎉🎉🎉
When you pay with Paypal, they share your transaction and personal data with 507(!) third-parties. When you pay with #Monero, only you and the recipient can see the details of the transaction you made. Use Monero, designed to keep your finances confidential and secure by default.
Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) and CARROT development is progressing well, with a new version of the alpha stressnet software released and the developers planning for beta stressnet!
'Full-Chain Membership Proofs prove the output spent is one of any output on the chain, effectively removing all of these risks. This means every input goes from an immediate anonymity set of 16 to 100,000,000.'

XMR <-> BTC atomic swaps are live on mainnet! We're delighted to see Seth and others working to make them easily accessible such that anyone can swap trustlessly and privately! #monero#xmr
Just completed my first mainnet atomic swap (as the broker/XMR-seller) with an unnamed Bitcoiner 👀
The process took 34min, was done entirely over Tor, required no interaction by me, and was peer-to-peer with *no* middle-man or custodian.
I think I just witnessed the future 🤯
Forbes has published an article about Monero!
'Is Monero Keeping Bitcoin's Cypherpunk Dream Alive?'
'Monero's value proposition extends beyond speculative trading – it serves a genuine market need for financial privacy'
We're excited to celebrate our 10th birthday today! 🎉
A happy #Moneroversary to all!
To ten more years of Monero being the cryptocurrency that keeps your transactions and holdings private and secure!
🤝To support Monero, I’m renting a rig and just added 3MH/s to the network. Monero is too important to abandon. Every bit of hashrate makes an attack harder.
💥Fire up your machines.
🧮Every hash counts.
🏴☠️Let’s mine like freedom depends on it, because it does. (sound on)
In the interest of transparency, #Monero developers are publishing the first ever rich list of Monero addresses.
This will forever prove our continuing commitment to having the most professional users around.
Take a look; the report may surprise you!👇

Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) - The Next Generation of Monero's Privacy
Thanks to @VOSTOEMISIO and @xenumonero for producing this excellent explanatory video and to our generous community for funding it!
'Crypto' means 'hidden'. Therefore, it's critically important that cryptocurrencies don't leak all transaction details to the whole world.
#Monero is designed to keep your finances secure and confidential by default.
A rather significant bug has been spotted in Monero's decoy selection algorithm that may impact your transaction's privacy. Please read this whole thread carefully. Thanks @justinberman95 for investigating this bug.
1/6
FCMP++ is Monero’s evolution.
Quantum-safe, reorg-proof, ready for L2.
The whole chain becomes one shield.
And it changes everything.
$XMR will be the backbone of privacy.
In a world of compliance updates,
This one upgrades the individual.
Monero will be the only exit.
Our generous community has recently funded a proposal for EVM atomic swaps development!
'This proposal aims at developing a decentralized web application (dApp) to serve as a front end for the atomic swap smart contract. The web application will only require a web browser with an EIP-1193 compatible wallet such as Metamask, and will allow the users to interact with any MoneroSwap contract.'
Thanks to everyone that donated!
PSA: Services, please be reminded that we will be phasing out long payment IDs this year (to improve privacy and usability for users as well as mitigate support work for services).
lists.getmonero.org/hyperkit…
Services are recommended to upgrade to subaddresses as soon as possible.
Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) and CARROT are currently running well on the first testnet (alpha stressnet)!
We implore the Monero community to continue to participate in testing and to report issues in order to ensure a smooth transition!

The Monero community is calling on @elonmusk to add #Monero#XMR payments for #Tesla!
Monero is the cypherpunk currency defending your freedom.
If Monero is added, we will donate a new Model 3 to EACH of 3 charities selected by the community! #Tesla4XMRmonerotesla.com
'Monero protects people who have nothing to hide but also nothing to show
1. Protection for companies
- No snooping on business secrets (suppliers, customers, prices paid, etc.)
2. Protection of employees
- No snooping on salaries
3. Protection of investors
- No blockchain analytics that can be used against them'

Happy 9th #Moneroversary!
Monero launched 9 years ago on April 18, 2014, and it has been the gold standard in private digital payments ever since!
Thanks for being a part of the Monero community through all these years!

We're excited to share that a pull request has been made for the Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) integration into Monero!
The pull request is a work-in-progress and will be improved upon and reviewed to ensure soundness of the implementation.
github.com/monero-project/mo…
We made a couple of minor improvements over the last two weeks.
3.0.4 through 3.0.7 of eigenwallet were released.
We thoroughly document all changes. Transparency is important when your software is managing millions in funds.
Monero - designed to keep your finances confidential by default, whilst allowing selective transparency through view keys.
'Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.'
Progress has been made on resolving bugs in the refresh refactor PR, allowing preparations for the FCMP alpha stressnet to advance, though additional review time is needed. MRL agreed to proceed with alpha stressnet without waiting for the full scaling design to be settled.

We're excited to share that GUI v0.17.2.3 'Oxygen Orion' has been released! The new release includes privacy, stability, accessibility, and user experience updates as well as optimizations for hardware (Trezor & Ledger) wallets.
getmonero.org/2021/08/31/mon…
'Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) is a proposed upgrade to replace ring signatures with membership proofs that span the whole chain. When spending Monero, instead of making a ring signature proving you own 1 of 16 Monero outputs, you make a proof that you own 1 of the 150 million+ Monero outputs from across the entire Monero blockchain.' - by Justin Berman

We're excited to announce the FCMP++ Optimization Competition to optimize the helioselene and ec-divisors libraries used in Monero's upcoming Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) upgrade, with prizes of 100 XMR (helioselene) and 250 XMR (ec-divisors)!
Fuck that.
MONERO SAYS NO.
Monero blockchain snoops can’t see shit about your self-custody wallets. Monero is the only major asset that provides privacy to everyone.
'People expect their money to be private intuitively, and are always shocked and upset when they find out others can spy on their activity.
Money has to be private to prevent self-censorship, provide human freedom, and allow free markets to actually thrive.' - by @sethforprivacy
Justin Berman recently put forward a proposal to continue to work full-time on Monero development, with focus on completing the integration of Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) into the Monero codebase and managing the FCMP++ Optimization Competition!

We thank elizabethereum and all other contributors for their incredible work!
We're delighted to introduce the XMR<->ETH atomic swap project of elizabethereum!

Please note that the project is still work-in-progress. Interested in contributing? See:
github.com/noot/atomic-swap
We heard Monero addresses are being investigated. Did you know Monero addresses are NEVER made public, so no one knows what transactions are associated with them? Try searching on a block explorer to see for yourself with this example address:

It’s finally here! 🎉
The Monero #TailEmission starts today!
After ~9p ET (~1 UTC), #Monero will issue 0.6 #XMR per block in perpetuity. This ensures a permanent security mining incentive, regardless of the fee market.
A great thread on the tail emission:
1/ The #TailEmission is coming in ~30d (block 2,641,623), so let's take a few minutes and walk through why the #Monero community chose a tail emission, how it works, and what it means for Monero user's and the project long-term.
Buckle up, this is going to be a long one!
Privacy by default allows one to be selectively transparent.
The upcoming Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) protocol will further strengthen Monero's privacy whilst simultaneously improving the user experience of Monero's optional transparency features!
🕵️♂️ Monero Is Finally Coming to Unstoppable
It’s been long overdue. But it’s almost here.
In our next wallet update, Unstoppable will offer native support for Monero.
Here is why it took a while:
Until now, Monero integration into mobile wallets meant jumping through hoops - using bulky C++ wrappers or Flutter-specific hacks.
There were no Swift or Kotlin libraries. No clean SDKs for mobile devs. Just pain.
So we're building what was missing.
We're launching the first Monero SDKs for iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) — built on top of the secure monero_c core. This means native mobile apps can finally integrate Monero cleanly and safely without reinventing the wheel.
⚡ A future update will unlock decentralized and anonymous swaps between Monero, Bitcoin, and other major chains. This will enable private sovereign storage and trading within one app.
Privacy is not optional. It’s foundational.
Stay sovereign. Stay private. Stay Unstoppable.
We're excited to share the announcement of Haveno - a Monero based DEX for trading XMR for fiat and cryptocurrencies built by Monero community members! (PoC)

The Monero Research Lab is actively researching post-quantum encryption for Monero!
'CARROT already brings several forward-secrecy improvements. The purpose of Jamtis is to provide forward secrecy against a quantum enabled adversary even if a wallet address is publicly known.'
Tevador just updated the Post-Quantum Encryption GitHub issue discussing the post-quantum encryption algorithm selection for Jamtis - the next addressing scheme for Monero. The purpose of Jamtis is to provide forward secrecy against a quantum-enabled adversary even if a wallet address is publicly known or under a stronger assumption that the address-generator wallet tier is leaked. github.com/monero-project/re…
Forward Secrecy is one of the features of Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++)!
'Forward secrecy means an adversary with a discrete log oracle, such as an adversary with a quantum computer, cannot break the privacy of the protocol.'
