Official Monero sourceRing Confidential Transactions hide transferred amounts while allowing the network to verify that a transaction balances.
Official Monero sourceThe required linkable ring-signature scheme conceals which ring member is spent and prevents double-spending, with smaller and faster signatures than MLSAG.
Official Monero sourceThe required zero-knowledge range proof verifies that hidden output amounts are valid without revealing them or requiring a trusted setup.
