.@ADALogics begins Monero RPC fuzzing project: - Developing C++ fuzzing harnesses for src/rpc handlers - Creating end-to-end testing for Monero in OSS-Fuzz - Targeting 75%+ RPC handler coverage, aiming for 100% - Submitting code to repo - Report on approach & findings
Help make Monero more secure by supporting the MAGIC Monero Fund's campaign to develop comprehensive fuzzing harnesses for Monero's RPC handlers. This project aims to make Monero nodes much more resilient now and after FCMP++s are adopted. donate.magicgrants.org/monero/project…

It's the final countdown! Apply for our undergraduate cryptocurrency scholarship by Monday July 14th! magicgrants.org/scholarships/s…
Our lead cryptographer, Brandon "surae Noether" Goodell, just summarizes our work on divisors / SLVer Bullet (on blue sky): bsky.app/profile/bggood…
Make sure to submit your submission for the FCMP++ Optimization Competition before the deadline on Monday!
We're excited to announce the FCMP++ Optimization Competition to optimize the helioselene and ec-divisors libraries used in Monero's upcoming Full-Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) upgrade, with prizes of 100 XMR (helioselene) and 250 XMR (ec-divisors)!
Check out Rust Monero Explorer, our new Monero explorer API built atop Cuprate. It is reliable, performant, and MIT licensed. Consider it as an alternative for or alongside the onion-monero-blockchain-explorer API. github.com/MAGICGrants/ru…
Justin Ehrenhofer, @MagicGrants - Overview of the Last Year of Audits, Reviews, and Proofs #MoneroKon2025 youtube.com/watch?v=Fo1uxI…
Justin Ehrenhofer is speaking at MoneroKon in about 1 hour. Watch his talk live here: youtube.com/live/MWCTcerko…

The most private way to use Monero is to run your own node. Our latest tutorial covers the easiest way to do so on TrueNAS, using @MagicGrants's pre-made applications: privacyguides.org/articles/2025/…
Please contribute to the Monero Fund's campaign to substantially increase the fuzzing coverage for Monero's RPC endpoints. This project will improve the security and resiliency of the Monero network. Your donation may qualify for a tax deduction. donate.magicgrants.org/monero/project…
MAGIC Grants contracted @trailofbits to audit the Ethereum smart contract that is expected to be used by Serai. Serai is a forthcoming decentralized exchange that will initially be compatible with the Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Monero blockchains. More info: magicgrants.org/2025/06/06/Ser…
Serai had its Ethereum contracts and associated Rust libraries audited by @trailofbits! Trail of Bits found no high, medium, nor low severity findings, and only two informational. For the criticality of this, and complexity in cross-chain messaging, we're extremely happy.
26 days 'til MoneroKon🔥Time to delve into the nitty-gritty details: Justin Ehrenhofer from @MagicGrants will present an overview of Monero reviews and audits related to FCMP++ and Serai, and discuss their importance and what they entail.
We published additional TrueNAS apps: Monero-LWS, Bitcoin Node, Mempool, and Electrs. Plus: we released improvements for the Arti and Monero Node apps. You can now host hidden services and announce these onion addresses to other Monero nodes. magicgrants.org/2025/05/23/Mor…

Encryption is not a crime, encryption protects all of us. Encryption, especially end-to-end encryption, is an essential tool to protect everyone online. privacyguides.org/articles/2025/…

Our Monero multisig protocol was proven secure! FROSTLASS is a FROST-inspired protocol applying its techniques to Monero's CLSAG. It achieves constant per-participant upload, linear computation, and identifiable aborts, enabling large-scale decentralized threshold multisigs.
