Project description

Cryptocurrencies are distributed systems that support financial transactions using digital cash. Nowadays, these systems store hundreds of billions of dollars in value. As their adoption grows, ensuring that these systems are scalable and secure is of paramount importance.

This project tackles these challenges by improving upon existing and developing new cryptographic tools tailored to the unique constraints of cryptocurrencies. With this, the project aims to lay the theoretical and practical foundations for the next generation of secure and scalable cryptocurrency systems.
