Using Monero, Zcash and Dash as examples, ForkLog recalls how this asset class emerged and what has helped it survive despite regulatory bans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Monero<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Monero was preceded by the CryptoNote white paper, published in 2012 under the name Nicolas van Saberhagen. The protocol was designed to ensure a high degree of privacy and transaction anonymity, addressing shortcomings in Bitcoin and other early projects. The first cryptocurrency to use CryptoNote was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/bytecoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Bytecoin<\/a> (BCN), launched in July 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Riccardo Spagni was the leading developer in Monero\u2019s early community, drawn by anonymity and improvements on Bitcoin\u2019s code. Studying CryptoNote, he saw kinship in its ideas and elegance in its implementation. But when Bytecoin launched with an 80% premine, angering the community, his attention turned to its fork Bitmonero, which looked open enough and not like a scam. Spagni and Bitmonero\u2019s creator, known as thankful_for_today, soon fell out after the latter insisted on jointly mining two currencies \u2014 Bitmonero and Bytecoin.<\/p>\n<p>Spagni, Francisco Cabanas and five anonymous engineers then organised a fork, launching a parallel implementation of the chain. Monero was born. The mysterious thankful_for_today eventually vanished from the internet, leaving the project with a single chain.<\/p>\n<p>Monero launched in April 2014 with the ticker XMR to provide strong anonymity and confidentiality for transactions, unlike Bitcoin\u2019s network where flows can be traced via a public blockchain. The protocol uses several cryptographic techniques to conceal transfer data:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ring Signatures<\/strong>. Digital signatures that can be created by any member of a group. It is computationally infeasible to determine which key produced a signature and to trace a transaction\u2019s origin;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stealth Addresses<\/strong>. One-time addresses automatically generated for each new transaction. A Monero user can publish a single stealth address yet receive all incoming funds to different addresses. They are not linked to the published address \u2014 only sender and recipient know where the coins moved;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bulletproofs<\/strong>. A type of ZKP that enables confidential transactions in Monero and other protocols. In 2022 Bulletproofs+ was released, speeding up transactions and increasing ring size from 11 to 16, making tracing harder;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dandelion++<\/strong>. A feature that obscures links between transactions and node IP addresses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Monero stands out for an architecture that renders the source, recipient and amount of a transaction untraceable. The introduction of RingCT in 2017 also hid the amount, making the network even more confidential.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, in 2020 Riccardo Spagni said an \u201cideally private\u201d cryptocurrency is unattainable: there is always a risk that some part of a transaction becomes visible and helps unravel others. Ring signatures can obfuscate trails but do not guarantee complete anonymity. A logical step to raise privacy is to use more than one Monero wallet and move coins between them.<\/p>\n<p>A telling case came in September 2020, when America\u2019s IRS offered a $625,000 bounty to contractors who could develop Monero-tracking tools. Chainalysis and Integra FEC won the tender. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/business\/2021\/09\/21\/leaked-slides-show-how-chainalysis-flags-crypto-suspects-for-cops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">CoinDesk<\/a>, Chainalysis said it would provide a \u201cpractical tip\u201d in 65% of tracing attempts.<\/p>\n<p>The PoW-mining boom did not pass Monero by. Crypto-enthusiasts reaped hefty profits with minimal capital \u2014 briefly. Difficulty climbed and ASICs arrived, striking at decentralisation, anathema to the project\u2019s founding ethos. To protect the community and the network, updates and hard forks were released to counter ASICs:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>in 2018 updates changed the <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/explained\/what-is-the-cryptonight-mining-algorithm-and-how-does-it-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">CryptoNight<\/a> algorithm, rendering ASIC miners useless. This preserved decentralisation by keeping mining accessible to ordinary CPU and GPU users;<\/li>\n<li>in November 2019 a new algorithm \u2014 RandomX \u2014 was launched, optimised for CPU mining. It demands significant device RAM and random program execution, making ASIC mining highly unprofitable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That did not stop Bitmain, the biggest maker of ASICs. In September 2023 the firm <a href=\"https:\/\/m.bitmain.com\/product\/detail?pid=00020230828105038795jYr5J0WO0689\">unveiled<\/a> a model aimed at XMR mining.<\/p>\n<p>Monero\u2019s hashrate has ebbed and flowed with algorithm changes. The switch to RandomX boosted it, as more CPU miners could join. By May 2024 its average <a href=\"https:\/\/localmonero.co\/blocks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">reached<\/a> roughly 2.5 GH\/s, while average daily transactions in 2023 were 15,000\u201320,000. That metric <a href=\"https:\/\/messari.io\/project\/monero\/charts\/network-activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">continued<\/a> to improve in the first half of 2024, often touching 40,000 a day.<\/p>\n<p>For storing and spending XMR, users can choose both hardware (cold) and software (hot) wallets. Popular cold options include Ledger and Trezor; hot options include the classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmonero.org\/downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Monero GUI Wallet<\/a> (a \u201cheavy\u201d full client) and lighter mobile choices \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/featherwallet.org\/download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Feather<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/monerujowallet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Monerujo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/monero.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Cake Wallet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The last of these plays a notable role in the ecosystem, supporting the network and community. The wallet began XMR-only but now supports Bitcoin, Litecoin and six other assets. The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cakewallet\">Cake Wallet<\/a> community runs promotional campaigns to popularise Monero.<\/p>\n<p>Real-world use suggests the token\u2019s suitability and uptake across many online shops \u2014 not just those selling illicit goods, and mostly the reverse. A tweet by a Monero researcher and privacy enthusiast vividly shows the growth and share of XMR payments across marketplaces.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;Nobody uses <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Monero?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Monero<\/a>.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/79uvslLQDJ\">pic.twitter.com\/79uvslLQDJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u1d1c\u0274\u1d1b\u0280\u1d00\u1d04\u1d07\u1d00\u0299\u029f\u1d07 (@DontTraceMeBruh) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DontTraceMeBruh\/status\/1795714838074995006?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 29, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Monero\u2019s community is among the industry\u2019s strongest. Over its lifetime <a href=\"https:\/\/openhub.net\/p\/monero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">more than<\/a> 800 developers have contributed code, predominantly using TypeScript. Activity, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/openhub.net\/p\/monero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">developer portal<\/a>, is near the top end (High Activity).<\/p>\n<p>After the <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/localmonero-exchange-announces-closure\">closure<\/a> of Local Monero in May 2024, the community lost a P2P exchange and its largest liquidity hub. Even so, supporters continue to promote anonymous <a href=\"https:\/\/haveno.exchange\/\">Haveno<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bisq.network\/\">Bisq<\/a>, which operate over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torproject.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Tor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After being extradited to South Africa, Riccardo Spagni cannot leave the country owing to an open fraud case unrelated to Monero. He has stepped back from a key role in the project and is focusing on a new venture \u2014 <a href=\"http:\/\/tari.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Tari<\/a>, a Monero sidechain intended as a decentralised digital-asset protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Today Monero remains one of the most popular privacy coins. As of June 1st 2024 XMR\u2019s market capitalisation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/monero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">stands<\/a> above $2.5bn, with daily trading volume around $50m.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Zcash<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Zcash (ZEC) launched in October 2016 as a fork of Bitcoin. It was initially called Zerocoin, created in 2013 by Matthew Green and Eli Ben-Sasson.<\/p>\n<p>Zerocoin was designed to work with Bitcoin, used the digital gold\u2019s codebase and sought to enhance its privacy. In 2015 Zooko Wilcox joined the project; the name was changed to Zcash.<\/p>\n<p>Wilcox served as CEO of Electric Coin Company (ECC) until he was succeeded by Josh Swihart, senior vice president of growth.<\/p>\n<p>Zcash\u2019s main innovation is ECC\u2019s in-house development \u2014 and subsequent refinement \u2014 of zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge). The technique has become a popular cryptographic method: a ZKP that lets transactions be verified without revealing information about them.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Monero, users can choose transaction type \u2014 transparent (t-addresses) or shielded (z-addresses). In 2022, for convenience, all address types were combined into <a href=\"https:\/\/z.cash\/learn\/what-are-zcash-unified-addresses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Unified Addresses<\/a>. Users now generate a single address that automatically determines transaction type. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jswihart\/status\/1795536610337132892\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Swihart<\/a>, the number of <span data-descr=\"Shielded \u2014 a hidden type of transaction or token in Zcash\" class=\"old_tooltip\">shielded<\/span> coins is steadily growing. In May the figure hit a record high of more than 1.4m in the corresponding pool.<\/p>\n<p>Zcash uses a modified Bitcoin codebase. The ZEC supply is capped at 21m, of which more than 15m had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/zcash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">already been mined<\/a> as of June 1st 2024. PoW mining uses Equihash, which checks the RAM miners employ. Since a 2020 upgrade, miners can receive rewards directly to shielded z-addresses to enhance their privacy.<\/p>\n<p>After an early, highly profitable phase for GPU mining, ASICs took over the algorithm, centralising the network while preserving its stated anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>Key milestones:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>one of the network\u2019s first upgrades, Sapling, arrived in October 2018. It significantly improved performance and speed for shielded transactions, making them more accessible;<\/li>\n<li>in 2019 a new zk-SNARK called Halo was introduced to tackle scalability and the need for a \u201ctrusted setup\u201d. Halo 2 was open-sourced in September 2020;<\/li>\n<li>November 2020 brought another important upgrade \u2014 Canopy. With the first halving, changes improved security. A development fund was established and the so-called Founders\u2019 Reward \u2014 under which 20% of newly minted ZEC supported developers and early investors for the first four years \u2014 was removed;<\/li>\n<li>the 2022 Network Upgrade 5 added Halo Arc components, advancing zk-SNARK innovation. Zcash moved fully to Halo proofs, eliminating the need for a \u201ctrusted setup\u201d and strengthening its cryptography;<\/li>\n<li>in 2021 the team outlined a five-year plan and floated a possible switch to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin backed the idea, but as of June 2024 it remains unrealised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A unique feature of the blockchain is the \u201cZcash ceremony\u201d, or \u201ctrusted setup\u201d, held at launch in 2016 and involving six people who created a master key. Soon after the genesis block, five participants revealed their identities. In 2022 former <span data-descr=\"United States National Security Agency\" class=\"old_tooltip\">NSA<\/span> and CIA contractor Edward Snowden disclosed that he was the sixth participant, under the pseudonym John Dobbertin.<\/p>\n<p>In the past three months network metrics have picked up somewhat, notably the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/messari.io\/project\/zcash\/charts\/addresses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">active addresses<\/a>, which began to climb out of a year-long trough in May 2024, approaching 16,000. Over the same period miners actively <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ruZCASH\/status\/1794611503502406101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">moved<\/a> \u201cold\u201d ZEC from the first Sprout and Sapling pools to Orchard, the improved pool created in 2022, which now holds more than 340,000 coins.<\/p>\n<p>After a three-year pause, Grayscale resumed buying ZEC, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ruZCASH\/status\/1795385136659521988\">Coinglass<\/a>. Assets under management in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grayscale.com\/crypto-products\/grayscale-zcash-trust\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Zcash Trust<\/a> currently total nearly $9.5m.<\/p>\n<p>Despite regulatory bans on privacy coins, ZEC can still be held and traded on Binance. But it sits in the higher-risk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/markets\/coinInfo-Monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Monitoring<\/a> category under tighter oversight by the <span data-descr=\"Centralized exchange\" class=\"old_tooltip\">CEX<\/span>, and transfers of shielded tokens are prohibited. In response, the community is coalescing, creating a more convenient, quasi-anonymous environment and updating <a href=\"https:\/\/z.cash\/ecosystem\/?wallets=%23tag-wallets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">leading wallets<\/a> (Nighthawk, Zashi, Edge). As <a href=\"https:\/\/brave.com\/blog\/web3-privacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">announced<\/a> in May 2023, it is also forging new collaborations with the privacy-focused Brave browser and Filecoin Foundation to bring shielded transactions to the browser\u2019s Web3 wallet.<\/p>\n<p>Per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/zcash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">CoinGecko<\/a> on June 1st 2024, ZEC\u2019s market capitalisation exceeds $400m, with daily trading around $20m.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dash<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Rounding out the trio is Dash, a payments system created in January 2014 by programmer Evan Duffield, with a token of the same name.<\/p>\n<p>Initially known as XCoin and later Darkcoin, the project was renamed Dash in March 2015. It emerged from a Bitcoin fork and suffered an early <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcointalk.org\/index.php?topic=421615.120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">glitch<\/a> that allowed 1.8m DASH (about 10% of supply) to be mined in two days. The team proposed a restart, but community criticism led to a decision to press on.<\/p>\n<p>Dash builds on Bitcoin\u2019s transaction-anonymisation technique <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/zksnacks-ceo-clarifies-coinjoin-shutdown\">CoinJoin<\/a>, mixing a user\u2019s coins with others via PrivateSend. In the wallet they exist as discrete coins sourced from different addresses. Thus a single transaction combines DASH from at least two other owners. In essence, coins never leave the wallet; their holders are swapped.<\/p>\n<p>With InstantSend, Dash offers fast and relatively cheap transfers (under $0.01). Its architecture includes double-spend protection and optional privacy. A decentralised masternode network provides extra security and functionality. Governance and funding are handled by a DAO.<\/p>\n<p>As with Zcash, users choose the desired level of privacy. Underscoring the point in late 2020, Fernando Guti\u00e9rrez, chief marketing officer of Dash Core Group, insisted that \u201cDash should no longer be perceived as one of the privacy-focused cryptocurrencies. A better description is a means of payment\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>DASH is mined via PoW using X11, which runs several rounds of 11 different hash functions (blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, echo). The approach makes it one of the more cryptographically complex \u2014 and thus fairly secure \u2014 systems.<\/p>\n<p>As of May 2024 about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/dash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">11.8m<\/a> coins had been mined out of a maximum 18,920,000. Emission distribution was <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.dash.org\/en\/stable\/docs\/user\/introduction\/features.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">changed<\/a> by a 2023 vote to:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>rewards to masternode holders \u2014 60%;<\/li>\n<li>DAO budget \u2014 20%;<\/li>\n<li>miner rewards \u2014 20%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dash\u2019s history features efforts to improve user experience and network performance. In March 2019 the Evolution upgrade went live to simplify everyday use.<\/p>\n<p>By mid-2021 developers launched the DashDirect payments app, enabling DASH spending with merchants. It tied together more than 155,000 retail and service locations and 125 online shops in the US.<\/p>\n<p>For a project built for payments, the ability to spend is essential \u2014 and the team has done a decent job. The official site lists a whole <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dash.org\/where-to-spend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cwhere to spend\u201d category<\/a> with thousands of retailers and online shops worldwide.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-eu.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXforYyXJA2TsyLCZaj51_ZuH39oxbZm3c6CrK4ClC_cU_kwyRWC0zjnihjRT_4_eH4Vv1jA-iyIUztXWf9Ms5QPRBMZk8bfKBFl3M9jXllHgW5lmxOihKs4nNzfrspHG-UvJjA5iI7LTHfh2mVi2Iu6uNR0?key=ENClTKih92xWjFK8vWzBrA\" alt=\"Monero, Zcash and Dash: how the three privacy veterans are faring\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Data: Dash.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Since 2018 Dash has been actively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/markets\/2019\/08\/14\/despite-ceo-claims-dash-isnt-really-the-most-used-crypto-in-venezuela\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">used<\/a> in Venezuela to buy everyday goods \u2014 food and medical supplies.
