Privacy features
Salvium inherits Monero's core privacy primitives:
- Stealth addresses — hide recipient identity
- Ring signatures — obscure the sender among decoys
- RingCT — hide transaction amounts
On top, Salvium adds programmable privacy — developers can build apps with customizable privacy levels, and users can selectively disclose transaction information via view keys when regulatory compliance requires it.
Staking
Salvium supports native staking at the protocol level. Stakers currently earn 20% of block rewards, with the remaining 80% going to miners. After the DeFi module launches, staker rewards will come from system fees.
