Privacy Coin
Definition
A privacy coin is a cryptocurrency designed to make transactions untraceable and users anonymous. Unlike transparent blockchains where all transactions are publicly visible, privacy coins use cryptographic techniques to hide senders, receivers, and amounts.
Technical Explanation
Privacy coins employ various techniques: ring signatures mix transactions with decoys; stealth addresses create one-time destinations; confidential transactions hide amounts; zero-knowledge proofs verify validity without revealing data.
Leading privacy approaches include Monero's RingCT (ring signatures + confidential transactions), Zcash's zk-SNARKs (optional shielded pools), and newer protocols combining multiple techniques for comprehensive privacy at the protocol level.
SynX Relevance
SynX is a next-generation privacy coin combining Monero-inspired ring signatures and stealth addresses with post-quantum cryptography. Privacy isn't optional—it's the default for every transaction, protected against both classical and quantum adversaries.
