a way to hide the amount sent in a Monero transaction

The Basics

RingCT, short for ring confidential transactions, is the way how Monero hide the amount sent in a transaction, introducing an improved version of @ring-signatures called A Multi-layered Linkable Spontaneous Anonymous Group signature. RingCT allows for hidden amounts, origins and destinations of transactions with reasonable efficiency and verifiable, trustless coin generation.
