About this site
WhyMonero.com is an independent educational project explaining what Monero is, how it works, and how it honestly compares to other cryptocurrencies — feature by feature.
Methodology
Primary sources only
Facts come from official project documentation, protocol specs, peer-reviewed research, court and regulatory records, and live network data — each linked where it's stated. Numbers carry an "as of" date because crypto moves fast.
Named winners, honest verdicts
Every comparison row names a verdict: Monero, the competitor, a tie, or "it depends". We don't sandbag the competition — Lightning is faster, Ethereum is more programmable, Bitcoin is more liquid. Credibility requires losing rows honestly.
No JavaScript, by design
The site is fully static and works with JavaScript disabled. Icons are inline SVG, interactions are plain links. It's fast on any device, works in text browsers, and respects your attention.
Corrections welcome
Found an error or a stale number? This is an educational project — accuracy beats pride. Open an issue or PR in the site's repository and cite your source.
Disclaimer
Nothing on this site is financial advice. Cryptocurrencies are volatile and regulated differently across jurisdictions — do your own research and follow your local laws.
