White paper

About  

The Dero Project has written a unique new blockchain technology that is based on the Dag and CryptoNote protocol with double spend protection. Dero's goal is to create a unique state of the art blockchain technology with enhanced reliability, privacy, security, usability, and portability by bringing together some of the best proven technologies like the CryptoNote protocol and smart contracts, thereby allowing for the creation of truly private smart contracts.

The Dero development team has implemented complete SSL across the Dero network which is a first on any blockchain. This encrypts the entirety of our network traffic, which greatly reduces our attack surface, while simultaneously preventing ISPs or other users from analyzing Dero’s network traffic.

What is Dero?

The goal of the Dero project is a blockchain network that can serve businesses and individuals around the globe, allowing for secure, fast and anonymous transactions and smart contract execution. 

Although the Bitcoin network is globally well established, it suffers from slow transaction times and does not support smart contracts.

The Ethereum network allows for smart contract deployment, but the transactions and smart contract details are visible to everyone, which greatly reduces the number of possible applications, as many companies and individuals want to keep their financial transaction and contract details private. The Dero project is currently developing an entirely new blockchain technology which will be the first to support private smart contracts combined with industry-leading transaction throughput.

Fast Transactions: DERO network has a block time of 12 seconds. This means DERO travels 50x faster than Bitcoin.

Technology Leader: DERO is the industry leader with innovation and features DeroDAG technology, Bulletproofs and a TLS encrypted network.

Privacy by Design: DERO network has mandatory privacy for all transactions.

Original Developers: DERO project has been developed from scratch and is being actively developed by original developers.

Easy to Use: We officially support almost all OS Windows/Mac/Linux/Unix/BSD/Solaris, even Android/IOS.

Premine

Dero has no ICO, or community funding of any kind. A premine was deemed to be necessary for the long term development and success of the project.

Premine coins are not locked atm as DERO Atlantis network runs 10 times faster than original network. DERO Atlantis network has 12 seconds block-time compared to 2 mins original. Original Plan to lock premine was based on structure mentioned in https://github.com/deroproject/documentation/blob/master/WhitePaper.md  But due to numerous innovations in DERO blockchain expect minor changes in premine structure for the betterment and further advancement of DERO Project.

Exact locking structure will be published in third quarter 2018. Premine will remain intact till further updates. All concerned keep watch for an updated release before taking any decisions.
