Monero

Private-by-default digital cash.

A proof-of-work cryptocurrency where every transaction hides its sender (ring signatures), receiver (one-time stealth addresses) and amount (RingCT with Bulletproofs+). RandomX mining favours ordinary CPUs, and a small perpetual tail emission keeps miners paid.

How does Monero hide the sender, receiver and amount?

Ring signatures (CLSAG, 16 members) hide which output is spent, one-time addresses hide the receiver, and RingCT commitments with Bulletproofs+ hide amounts. Metadata, timing and exchanges still leak.
