Monero
XMRLive since April 2014, about 12 years. Checked by a person on 13 September 2026.
Monero is a digital currency built to keep who sent money, who received it, and how much was sent hidden from public view. Of the 7 things it promised, it delivered 0, 7 are still open (7 with no date); nothing dated is coming up. It trades at $515.87, #14 of all coins by size, 35% below its highest ever price.
This week Nothing changed on its record.
A real job, real backing. Delivered 0 of 7, none late. Nothing dated ahead. #2 of 7 digital cash coins. Nothing to be careful of on the record.
Is it real?

- –Something aheadA dated step, deliveries on record, or demand showing up in the news.
- –Room to growWorth at least four times less than the biggest coin doing the same job, so the gap is real, not a guess.

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Digital cash ($2.38B). To match the leader, Zcash ($19.3B), its price would need to rise 99%, to about $1,026.
Still to check
- 7 dated promises, none delivered yet
What to do Nothing dated is ahead and nothing has been delivered on record. There is no event to wait for yet, which is itself the answer.
A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.
Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.
Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

Nothing dated
The project has not put a date on anything still open. That is a fact worth knowing.
How big is it next to its rivals?

Private payments

Digital cash: this coin next to Zcash, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.
- Monero says
- Monero is a digital currency built to keep who sent money, who received it, and how much was sent hidden from public view.
- Zcash says
- Zcash is a digital currency built to let people send private, encrypted payments to each other.
Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.
Monero is a digital currency built to keep who sent money, who received it, and how much was sent hidden from public view.
Problem it says it solves: private payments. 21 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $42,412,926,293.
Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.
Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.
What should make me careful?
Nothing printed today
None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.
