About the coin

DERO is a general-purpose, private, and decentralized application platform designed to allow developers to deploy powerful and unstoppable applications. The platform ensures that users retain total control over their assets with complete privacy. DERO aims to create a sound monetary framework that globally safeguards user privacy and empowers free markets to thrive with complete auditability.

Main features

Stargate, the underlying technology of DERO, is built upon the first homomorphic encryption blockchain protocol. This means that account activity on the DERO network is never decrypted by anyone other than its owner. The platform uses a unique homomorphic encryption scheme (DERO-HE) and the DERO Homomorphic Encryption Blockchain Protocol (DHEBP) to achieve this level of privacy. Stargate also offers several convenient features, including a homomorphic encryption account model, human-readable addresses (usernames), efficient and decentralized proof-of-work mining, instant coin and token balance syncing, native token transfers via wallet, support for both public and private token smart contracts, web socket support for connectivity with decentralized applications, transfer settlement in approximately 18 seconds (1 block), blockchain pruning (light nodes), and a fixed supply with halving.

How it works

The DERO platform operates using a homomorphic encryption scheme that ensures all transactions on the network, including those to and from smart contracts, remain private. This encryption allows for secure and private interactions on the blockchain, where only the owner of the account can decrypt their activity. The platform's architecture supports both public and private token smart contracts, enabling a wide range of decentralized applications to be built with privacy at their core. The network's proof-of-work mining ensures decentralization and security, while features like instant balance syncing and blockchain pruning enhance user experience and efficiency.
