MWC Monitor๐กprovides real-time data from the $MWC network including node data, transaction data, fork monitoring, and pool monitoring. It also contains a supply verifier for cryptographically verifying the total supply at any time.
Exactly 10 years ago, July 19, 2016, the pseudonymous "Tom Elvis Jedusor" published the #MimbleWimble whitepaper.
Happy 10th Birthday, MimbleWimble ๐ฅณ

Privacy tokens are becoming a critical layer of crypto infrastructure as digital surveillance and onchain tracking continue to expand.
But privacy networks are not all built the same. The underlying technology determines how strong, scalable, and practical each system is in real-world use.
Hereโs a simplified breakdown of the major privacy categories shaping the market today:
๐. ๐๐ข๐ง๐ -๐๐ข๐ ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ
Uses ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions to fully obscure senders, receivers, and transaction amounts. Privacy is typically enforced by default.
โข @monero โ $XMR
The benchmark for private digital cash.
โข @zano_project โ $ZANO
Combines ring signatures with ZK components for confidential assets and enhanced privacy.
๐. ๐๐-๐๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ (๐๐๐ซ๐จ-๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐)
Uses zk-SNARKs, zk-STARKs, and advanced cryptographic proofs to validate transactions without exposing underlying data. Expands privacy beyond payments into computation and smart contracts.
โข @Zcash โ $ZEC
Pioneer of shielded transactions.
โข @PirateChain โ $ARRR
Fully shielded privacy by default.
โข @AleoHQ โ $ALEO
Private smart contracts and applications.
โข @firoorg โ $FIRO
Efficient trustless privacy via Lelantus Spark.
โข @horizenglobal โ $ZEN
โข @Nockchain โ $NOCK
Emerging scalable ZK ecosystems.
๐. ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฐ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ
A lightweight blockchain design that removes traditional addresses and compresses transaction data to improve both privacy and scalability.
โข @M_w_coin โ $MWC
โข @litecoin โ $LTC via MWEB
โข @beamprivacy โ $BEAM
๐. ๐๐ข๐ฑ๐ข๐ง๐ / ๐๐จ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ
Combines transactions from multiple users to reduce traceability. Privacy is usually optional, improving accessibility and adoption.
โข @Dashpay โ $DASH
PrivateSend + fast payments.
โข @_PIVX โ $PIVX
Privacy-focused Dash evolution.
โข @vergecurrency โ $XVG
Combines mixing with Tor-level network anonymity.
๐. ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐๐ฒ
Brings confidentiality to smart contracts, DeFi, AI, and decentralized applications through encrypted computation and ZK infrastructure.
โข @SecretNetwork โ $SCRT
โข @OasisProtocol โ $ROSE
โข @RAILGUN_Project โ $RAIL
โข @aztecnetwork โ $AZTEC
โข @0xMiden
โข @NEARProtocol โ $NEAR
โข @zama โ $ZAMA
Key takeaway:
โข Ring signatures, ZK systems, and Mimblewimble dominate payment privacy.
โข Programmable privacy is enabling private DeFi, confidential AI, and encrypted onchain applications.
โข Long-term adoption will depend on scalability, liquidity, wallet support, developer activity, usability, and regulation.
Privacy infrastructure is evolving rapidly, and understanding the technology behind these networks matters far more than following narratives alone.
(Lack of) Privacy may the missing link for crypto payments adoption.
Imagine, a company pays employees in crypto on-chain. With the current state of crypto, you can pretty much see how much everyone in the company is paid (by clicking the from address). ๐คทโโ๏ธ
