Monero

Monero (XMR) is a decentralized digital currency that its project describes as private and secure. Its stated aim is to keep the financial activity of users confidential. The project also presents it as a means of payment with very low fees.

Wallet software exists for a variety of platforms and includes the components needed to begin using the currency. The project website has a Merchants page that points to parties accepting XMR as payment.

The community has assembled documentation for different audiences. It includes user guides, developer guides for building services on Monero or interacting with its network, an FAQ and an alphabetical glossary of terms. The library hosts freely downloadable books, among them Mastering Monero and Zero to Monero.

Its contributors describe Monero as a decentralized community as well as a currency. The project depends on hundreds of volunteers who give their time to it.
