This allows users to create trustless atomic swaps between the two cryptocurrencies without having to route through a centralized exchange service.
Monero’s Privacy Mechanisms
Monero’s ring signature system draws anonymity from a minimum ring size. Receivers are protected via stealth addresses, and funds within the ring are indistinguishable from each other. The minimum ring size is 11: given no other information, an attacker can identify the source of a transaction with a 1/11 confidence level unless a larger ring size is used.
Although Monero transactions are far more private than Bitcoin (the latter having no native transaction cloaking system), it’s not foolproof.
The chances of being traced can be reduced exponentially by creating ‘churn’ transactions, i.e., moving funds from one wallet to another before spending them, which bumps down an attacker’s chances to 1/121, but this method is rarely ever used.
Researchers estimate that by flooding the Monero blockchain with l
