Monero Reports Progress on FCMP++ and CARROT Development

If you transact in XMR it is transparent at the ends. The entity sending you XMR knows where it went and the receiver knows where they received it from. If you buy it from Kraken or a swap site they know X address bought Y amount. Similarly wherever it’s offloaded knows the address sending to it and the transaction it’s involved in and the amount. But if the amounts aren’t exactly the same and you make use of the shielded pool at some point you have anonymity. With the coming CARROT upgrade there will be transparent pools in XMR just like ZEC. This facilitates defi swaps like actual ones not the jankey ass Haveno stuff. That’s the main use of transparent pools in ZEC, for DeFi. That’s probs why its price has been going crazy, it’s like XMR but easier to obtain. You don’t have to find an exchange that lists it you can just bridge to it.
What back door? Won’t it be on the same level of privacy once they implement CARROT in XMR? Transparent and non transparent pools so you can have anonymity AND bridge-Ability? And XMR will catch up in terms of privacy and be on equal footing with the ZEC once they implement FCMP++. You’ll upgrade from rings to the entire chain is your privacy ring. A lot of people have not really researched these things before forming an opinion
tldr; The Monero Moon (Issue 89) highlights recent developments in the Monero ecosystem, including upgrades like CARROT for improved privacy and usability, and FCMP++ for enhanced protocol integration. New tools such as monero-mcp bridge AI agents with Monero, while updates to wallets like Cake Wallet and Monerujo improve user experience. Decentralized exchanges like Haveno and new services like VeiledSwap expand trading options. Events like MoneroKon 2026 and Monerun promote community engagement, and Monero's privacy features continue to gain traction in various applications. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

The CARROT implementation is pretty contentious. Not sure why it has to be bundled in with the FCMP++ upgrade.
tldr; The Monero Moon (Issue 87) highlights recent developments in the Monero ecosystem, including updates on privacy enhancements, wallet improvements, and community projects. Key updates include the introduction of a spy node ban list to enhance transaction privacy, progress on RandomX v2 for CPU mining, and advancements in privacy upgrades like FCMP++ and CARROT. New tools like MoneroDroid and Monero One aim to improve accessibility, while events like MoneroTopia 2026 and MoneroKon 2026 focus on fostering community engagement and privacy advocacy. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Let's ignore how audited Monero and its protections were, shall we? Justin Ehrenhofer said he would release the tools to the Monero committee to improve Monero, you saying that makes it sound like Monero is nothing, Monero is used by every group that needs privacy in addition to being audited countless times by countless people and organizations, but you just spread FUD. Monero uses ZKP proofs since 2018 with Bulletproofs+, the blockchain is opaque and the only weakness is bad OPSEC (Use remote nodes without TOR/I2P), FCMP++ will increase this fungibility even more. Zcash prefers profit over privacy, the creator himself has spoken numerous times about implementing backdoors, you saying I'm “anti-math” is just ragebait.

Regarding Tachyon: * CARROT will allow Monero to have display wallets without losing much privacy * FCMP++ will allow Monero to have transaction chaining that enables payment channels like [Grease-XMR](https://github.com/grease-xmr/grease) * Monero has dynamic block sizes that allow for low fees.
