FAQs
General Questions
What is ANONIUM? ANONIUM is a privacy-preserving digital currency that leverages a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. It is designed to enhance transaction privacy by concealing transaction amounts and addresses, supports the aggregation of multiple transactions, and is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
How does ANONIUM ensure privacy? ANONIUM utilizes non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs (NIZKs) to keep transaction details confidential yet verifiable. Additionally, it employs a relaying method that initially shares transactions among a selected group of peers, enhancing privacy before wider broadcast.
What makes ANONIUM different from other privacy coins? ANONIUM sets itself apart by integrating with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, which allows developers to easily port existing Ethereum smart contracts and develop new decentralized applications that utilize ANONIUM's advanced privacy features.
Technical Questions
How can I participate in the ANONIUM network? Participation in the ANONIUM network is facilitated through staking ANON tokens. Users lock up tokens to help validate transactions and secure the network, earning PoS validation rewards as an incentive for their contribution.
What are the benefits of ANONIUM’s Proof of Stake model? The PoS model utilized by ANONIUM is significantly less energy-intensive than traditional Proof of Work systems, helping reduce the environmental impact. It also promotes greater network security and decentralization by allowing a wider range of users to participate in the consensus process.
