what's neptune cash?
Neptune Cash is a Layer-1 peer-to-peer anonymous cash protocol designed for privacy, scalability, and post-quantum security. It integrates zk-STARKs directly on Layer-1, where users prove transactions client-side and miners aggregate them into a single large transaction per block with one proof. The protocol employs Mutator Sets to ensure transactions vanish from view while keeping the chain lightweight, avoiding bloat and leaks. It uses Proof-of-Work for security, emphasizing real mining over staking or insiders. Development has been ongoing since 2021, with initial wallets already live featuring animated QR codes for addresses.
Neptune Cash is part of a recent research-focused discussion and engaged community analysis.
