RingCT
Short answer: Ring Confidential Transactions combine ring signatures with hidden amounts to mask sender and value. See if SynX's RingCT resists quantum attacks.
Definition
Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT) combines ring signatures with confidential transactions to hide both the sender (among decoys) and the transaction amount. Pioneered by Monero, it provides comprehensive privacy without trusted setup.
Technical Explanation
RingCT integrates: ring signatures (hide which input is actually spent among decoys), Pedersen commitments (hide amounts), and range proofs (prove amounts are positive). Together, these obscure sender identity and transaction values while maintaining verifiability.
Validation works on commitments: sum of input commitments must equal sum of output commitments plus fee. Ring signatures prove authorization without revealing which key signed. All this happens without any party knowing amounts or the true sender.
SynX Relevance
SynX is transparent by default; optional shadow sends are encrypted with Kyber-768 and routed through a fresh burner address; senders are obscured through ring signatures.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can anyone see my transaction amounts?
- For ordinary sends, yes: the explorer shows the amount. Optional shadow sends are encrypted with Kyber-768 and show as 'Private'.
- How does RingCT prevent double-spending?
- Key images ensure each output can only be spent once, even with ring signatures.
- Is SynX's RingCT quantum-resistant?
- SynX's optional private sends are built on post-quantum primitives (Kyber-768 encryption, a fresh burner address); ordinary sends are transparent by default.
Transparent by default, optional private sends. Private with SynX
