## Contents - [About](#about) - [Documentation](#documentation) - [Contributing](#contributing) - [Security](#security) - [License](#license) ## About Cuprate is an effort to create an alternative [Monero](https://getmonero.org) node implementation in [Rust](http://rust-lang.org). It will be able to independently validate Monero consensus rules, providing a layer of security and redundancy for the Monero network. ## Documentation _Cuprate is currently a work-in-progress; documentation will be changing/unfinished._ Cuprate maintains various documentation books: | Book | Description | |-----------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------| | [Cuprate's architecture book](https://architecture.cuprate.org) | Documents Cuprate's internal architecture & implementation | | [Monero's protocol book](https://monero-book.cuprate.org) | Documents the Monero protocol | | [Cuprate's user book](https://user.cuprate.org) | Practical user-guide for using `cuprated` | For crate (library) documentation, see: https://doc.cuprate.org. This site holds documentation for Cuprate's crates and all dependencies. All Cuprate crates start with `cuprate_`, for example: [`cuprate_database`](https://doc.cuprate.org/cuprate_database). ## Contributing See [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md). ## Security Cuprate has a responsible vulnerability disclosure policy, see [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md). ## License The `binaries/` directory is licensed under AGPL-3.0, everything else is licensed under MIT.
