Neptune Cash: anonymous – succinct

Neptune Cash is a Layer-1 peer-to-peer anonymous cash protocol featuring privacy, scalability, and post-quantum security.

zk-STARKs. Neptune Cash is, to our knowledge, the first blockchain protocol to integrate zk-STARKs" on Layer-1 (where they belong). Users prove transactions on the client side. Miners aggregate transactions. Every block contains only one, big transaction; and one proof.

Mutator Sets. It is definitely the first blockchain protocol to feature mutator sets, a novel solution for achieving privacy without sacrificing succinctness.

Post-Quantum. All cryptography involved is post-quantum, meaning that it can be deployed on today's machines, and promises to withstand attacks on future quantum computers.

Proof-of-Work. The consumption of physical resources is required to produce blocks, thus rooting the security of the consensus mechanism in objective reality.

Smart Contracts. The prover supports arbitrary logic; together with privacy, this support makes Neptune a private smart contract platform in addition to a competitor for the world's best possible money.

Tokenomics. The total number of Neptune Coins that will ever exist is asymptotically limited to 42.000.000, and the pre-mine is less than 1.98% of that. There are halvings every three years. Half of every block reward is time-locked for 3 years.
