Why Monzero
Built around participation.
Consumer hardware
RandomX proof of work is designed for general-purpose CPUs, keeping participation open to ordinary computers.
Independent chain
XMZ has its own genesis block, network identity, address prefixes, ports, and monetary policy. It is not Monero.
Join the network
Turn spare CPU time into network security.
Run your own daemon, create a fresh Monzero wallet, and mine directly to an address you control. Solo mining rewards the machine that finds a block; rewards unlock after 60 blocks.
Keep it separate. Never reuse a Monero seed, keys, or wallet file with Monzero.
Mining pool
Prefer steady payouts? Mine with others at pool.monzero.org: PPLNS, 1% fee, payouts from 1 XMZ after 60 confirmations. Point XMRig at port 3333 (CPUs and laptops) or 5555 (servers and rigs), with your Monzero address as the login:
xmrig -o pool.monzero.org:3333 -u YOUR_MONZERO_ADDRESS -p rig1 -a rx/0
- 1Start the node
./start-monzerod.sh - 2Start the separate miner
./start-monzero-miner.sh YOUR_ADDRESS 1 - 3Open the wallet when needed
./start-monzero-wallet-cli.sh
Windows mining
Mine XMZ on Windows.
Use the Windows command-line package from the download section. Extract the complete ZIP before running anything; do not launch files from inside the ZIP.
- 1Start and synchronize the node
Double-click
start-node.bat, allow the Windows Firewall prompt, and leave the window open. The launcher connects tonode.monzero.org:6174and the local RPC listens on127.0.0.1:6175. - 2Create a fresh wallet
Run
start-wallet-cli.bat, create a Monzero-only wallet, and record its recovery seed offline. Never reuse a Monero wallet or seed. - 3Start CPU mining
Open Command Prompt in the extracted folder and run
start-mining.bat YOUR_MONZERO_ADDRESS 2. Replace the address and choose the number of CPU threads you want to use. - 4Check rewards and stop

Support the project
Help get XMZ listed.
Several exchanges have approached us about listing XMZ, and our first goal is a listing on Biconomy. Monzero has no premine, ICO or developer fee, so donations pay for the listing fee and starting funds. Every donation is read live from the public blockchains.

Monzero v1.0.0 · stable release
Download Monzero
Upgrade before block 21,000. v1.0.0 switches difficulty to LWMA at block 21,000 (hard fork 17). It is not a chain reset: coins, wallets and seeds are unchanged. Update your wallet and any node you run before that block: a pre16 wallet stops syncing there until it is updated, though no coins are at risk. Pool miners need do nothing.
Windows graphical wallet and command-line builds for Windows and Linux x86-64. Packages include the matching node, checksums, the protocol whitepaper, release notes and the upgrade guide.
Signed release: the release file lists every download's SHA-256 and is signed (signature, release key, fingerprint 4C37C618789F86D81FEF28DF390AEFB735F270D6). Not yet independently audited; report issues to security@monzero.org.

Questions
Before you begin.
Why is my mining balance still zero?
With solo mining you receive a coinbase reward only when your machine finds a block; simply hashing does not create a gradual balance. A found reward remains locked for 60 blocks. For smaller, regular payouts, mine at pool.monzero.org instead.
Is Monzero the same network as Monero?
No. Monzero is an independent experimental chain with a different genesis block, network ID, ports, address prefixes, ticker, and monetary policy.
Can I reuse my existing seed?
No. Create a new wallet and seed exclusively for Monzero. Reusing keys across forks can seriously damage privacy.
Is this a stable release?
Yes. Monzero v1.0.0 is the first stable release. It continues the pre10–pre16 chain (no reset) and switches difficulty to LWMA at block 21,000, so anyone running their own node must upgrade before then. It has not yet been independently audited; report problems to security@monzero.org.
