Welcome to Monereum Network

Our team of crypto enthusiasts announced that the Monereum chain will be kept and running after the Monero Hardfork scheduled for the 15th of January 2020 at block #1961130.

Monereum is an Ethereum-based distributed ledger protocol with transaction/contract privacy and special consensus mechanisms.

Monereum is based on go-ethereum and is updated in line with go-ethereum releases.

Key enhancements over go-ethereum:

• Privacy - Monereum supports private transactions and private contracts through public/private state separation, and utilises peer-to-peer encrypted message exchanges (see Constellation and Tessera) for directed transfer of private data to network participants
• Alternative Consensus Mechanisms - with no need for POW/POS in a permissioned network, Monereum instead offers multiple consensus mechanisms that are more appropriate for consortium chains:
  • Raft-based Consensus - a consensus model for faster blocktimes, transaction finality, and on-demand block creation
  • Istanbul BFT - a PBFT-inspired consensus algorithm with transaction finality, by AMIS.
• Peer Permissioning - node/peer permissioning using smart contracts, ensuring only known parties can join the network
• Higher Performance - Monereum offers significantly higher performance than public geth

Reporting Security Bugs

Security is part of our commitment to our users. At Monereum we have a close relationship with the security community, we understand the realm, and encourage security researchers to become part of our mission of building secure reliable software. This section explains how to submit security bugs, and what to expect in return.

Responsible Disclosure Process

Monereum project uses the following responsible disclosure process:

• Once the security report is received it is assigned a primary handler. This person coordinates the fix and release process.
• The issue is confirmed and a list of affected software is determined.
• Code is audited to find any potential similar problems.
• If it is determined, in consultation with the submitter, that a CVE-ID is required, the primary handler will trigger the process.
• Fixes are applied to the public repository and a new release is issued.
• On the date that the fixes are applied, announcements are sent to Monereum-announce.
• At this point you would be able to disclose publicly your finding.

Note: This process can take some time. Every effort will be made to handle the security bug in as timely a manner as possible, however it's important that we follow the process described above to ensure that disclosures are handled consistently.

Receiving Security Updates

The best way to receive security announcements is to subscribe to the Monereum-announce mailing list/channel. Any messages pertaining to a security issue will be prefixed with [security].

Comments on This Policy If you have any suggestions to improve this policy, please send an email to [email protected] for discussion.
