Dero claims to be the first cryptocurrency project to combine proof-of-work blockchains with DAG block structures and fully anonymous transactions. Distributed ledgers process transactions with an average block time of twelve seconds and can withstand most hash rate attacks. Dero aims to be the first CryptoNote blockchain to have smart contracts on its native chain, without requiring any additional layers or secondary blockchains. Developed from the ground up to support millions of users with enhanced reliability, privacy, security and availability. Balances and transactions are private on the DERO blockchain. The DERO project was developed from the ground up at Golang by the original developers. The Dero project aims to become a blockchain network that can serve businesses and individuals worldwide, enabling secure, fast anonymous transactions and smart contract execution. DERO aims to be the industry leader with features such as DeroDAG technology, Bulletproofs and TLS encrypted networks.
