Monero Updates Wallet to Support Bulletproofs
It is no news that Monero is a privacy-centric coin. Earlier this year, wallet service, announced that it will be supporting Monero (XMR). The wallet service is now integrated with Monero’sRingCT which gives users the ability to conduct anonymous transactions.
The wallet is also incorporated with Monero’s client-side library, MyMonero-core-js, which allows ensures that services are not only private but secured without losing the decentralization focused on in the crypto space.
Recent updates done to wallet and Monero shows that the wallet now supports bulletproofs which is described as cryptographic information designed to enhance privacy in virtual transactions. With this bulletproof in place, transaction sizes are also minimized.
As a result, transaction fees charged on XMR transactions are highly reduced. This has, in part, given the cryptocurrency a positive push in the grizzly market. Also, Monero, as we know it, is engineered on Stealth addresses, Ring Signatures and Ring Confidential Transactions.
For a privacy and security-centric coin, these factors target anonymity. Hence, with bulletproofs and other unique projects in the works, XMR is geared towards greater heights regardless of the tense atmosphere in the market now.
