After the recent price increase in Monero (XMR) of 30% and the release of Triptych by the Monero Research Lab (MRL) that should increase performance, there is more good news for Monero users: we just added Monero to our explorer and API services! Monero users can now check their transactions and other technical details in a privacy concerned manner and in 5 different languages.
Monero is a privacy coin that makes use of both the ZK-snark technology ‘Bulletproofs’ and ‘ring signatures’ to obfuscate sender(s) of a transaction. By adding multiple semi-randomly selected public-keys from other points in the blockchain and adding them as ‘sender’ of the transaction, the real sender’s address is obfuscated. Currently, 10 decoy addresses are used to obfuscate the real sender of a transaction.
We launched our explorer with a user-interface in line with the other explorers and will add more new features over time. A stable API with elaborate documentation is available as well. To stay up-to-date of more updates and the launch of new features, please follow us on Twitter or join our Telegram group!
