About privacy.watch
Private Cryptocurrencies — The Future of Finance
In an era of total control, private coins like Monero give users complete anonymity. Technologies like RingCT and zk-SNARKs make transaction tracking impossible, protecting personal data.
With growing regulations, solutions where privacy is the default are in high demand. These coins have already proven their resilience and are becoming the foundation of a new decentralized economy
Our selection is based on three key principles:
1
Privacy technology
We analyze encryption methods, protocols, and transaction obfuscation (e.g., zk-SNARKs, RingCT).
2
Real data protection
Only projects resistant to blockchain analysis and large-scale tracking are included.
3
Reliable ecosystem
Coins with a total market cap over $100 million, a strong community, a transparent roadmap, and a proven security record.
Privacy Methods
Main privacy methods:
-
RingCT
Hides the transaction amount using ring signatures.
-
Stealth Addresses
Generates unique addresses for each recipient to unlink wallets.
-
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (zk-SNARKs)
Proves a transaction is valid without revealing details.
-
CoinJoin
Mixes multiple transactions to break traceability.
-
Dandelion++
Hides the origin of a transaction on the network level.
-
MimbleWimble
Compresses the blockchain with no addresses or amounts.
