The Stegos Privacy Platform (Stegos) combines a unique blockchain and token design
to implement the first completely private cryptocurrency that’s secure, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
Stegos is fully scalable and prunable, ensuring the chain is always kept small without compromising trust.
This makes Stegos the world’s first public blockchain to offer secure and confidential data storage and transmission,
in addition to payment transactions. It also ensures that Stegos is compact enough to run on smartphones,
meaning anyone can run the Stegos blockchain from their pocket and earn tokens by staking.

Other privacy tokens — such as Monero, Dash, ZCash, and Grin — can only be used for payments,
and all display weaknesses in terms of scalability, privacy, security, or usability.
Stegos builds and improves upon these and other privacy coins and can be used
to send both payments and data with complete confidentiality.
The Stegos Privacy Platform can also be used to build applications
that communicate anonymously, privately, and efficiently.
