Monero is a decentralized blockchain which allows for complete anonymity of the tractions of the users when this network is used. The coin was in traduced in April 2014 as ‘BitMonero’ which is a hard fork of Bytecoin cryptocurrency. Since issues like hacks and vulnerabilities had plagued Bytecoin, the name was updated to Monero. This digital coin concentrated on the shortcomings of Bytecoin and ended up being the platform for anonymity. Its cryptocurrency is denoted by XMR, with a total supply of 18.4 million coins.
Though Monero hasn’t been a very popular cryptocurrency compared to many others of its type, it has a community that follows the currency for its purpose. This digital currency is being compared to the Bitcoin majorly because of its purpose – its single-minded focus on privacy, what Bitcoin was meant to be. Monero uses the CryptoNight algorithm for its network security and privacy to users, different from Bitcoin’s SHA-256 algorithm, which emerged from the CyptoNote protocol that allows the transactions on the blockchain to be mixed with each other, making it difficult to trace the origin of the transaction. Since the algorithm is not compatible with ASICs, this allows for more decentralization which means this cryptocurrency covers larger demography. Monero technology is said to be decentralized, private and fungible.
