## 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.

<!-- TODO: add some details about what Cuprate is and is not, goals, status -->
