!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is an [Open Source] [software] project that implements a [MimbleWimble] [blockchain] and fills the gaps required for a full [blockchain] and [cryptocurrency] deployment.
The main goal and characteristics of the Grin project are:
* [Privacy] by default. This enables complete fungibility without precluding the ability to selectively disclose information as needed.
* Scales mostly with the number of users and minimally with the number of transactions (<100 byte kernel), resulting in a large space saving compared to other blockchains.
* Strong and proven [cryptography]. [MimbleWimble] only relies on [Elliptic Curve] [Cryptography] which has been tried and tested for decades.
* Design simplicity that makes it easy for [Auditing] and maintain over time.
* Community driven, encouraging mining [decentralization|Decentralized Exchange].
A detailed post on the step-by-step of how Grin transactions work (with graphics) can be found in the Medium post [Grin Transactions Explained, Step-by-Step|https://medium.com/@brandonarvanaghi/grin-transactions-explained-step-by-step-fdceb905a853|target='_blank'].
