This talk will be an introduction and overview for Serai, a decentralized exchange which will support Monero at launch. (2024-06-16)

Smart contracts are a frequent request for Monero, yet have significant questions about privacy, efficiency, and complexity. Any VM would have several pages for its specification, with opcodes debatable for years. The denial of service risk would threaten Monero's stability, and the lack of privacy seen with most VMs would be unacceptable. (2024-06-15)

Monero is expected to evolve to Seraphis, adopt JAMTIS as our new address scheme, and even adopt Full Chain Membership Proofs for complete sender privacy. All of these rely on Elliptic Curve Cryptography, with the most notable construction being the curve cycle (an elliptic curve whose scalar field embeds the field of an elliptic curve whose scalar field is the original curve's field) proposed.

This talk will go over the newly discussed Full Chain Membership Proofs++ protocol, evolving Full Chain Membership Proofs into an upgrade independent of Seraphis and its associated migration. (2024-06-12)
