No company, no owner, no official artist. Drawn by the community since 2017, the way the chain is run. Public on Solana, private on Monero.

Character & origin

The girl with the M on her heart

二〇一七年から

Monero-chan is the unofficial mascot the Monero community drew for itself. She first showed up in Japan in 2017, as a cool-headed secretary on a site that turned every coin into a girl. Since 2021 the community keeps her alive, paying artists in XMR one commission at a time. No one controls her.

She stands for what the coin does. Where other chains publish every balance and every transfer, Monero hides the sender, the receiver and the amount by default. Monero-chan is that idea with a face: present, confident, and impossible to trace.

NameMonero-chan (モネロちゃん). Community character, no owner.
HairVery long, straight, black, with a bright orange underlayer that shows when she moves.
EyesAmber. The colour of the coin.
OutfitOrange high-collar crop top with the black M, black fingerless elbow sleeves, orange mini skirt, black thigh-highs, orange heels, XMR coin earrings.
LikesCash, night trains, CPUs, takoyaki, anyone who runs their own node.
DislikesBlacklists, KYC forms, cameras that work.
Catchphrase"Nobody sees but me."

    Monero

    Privacy is not a setting. Every transaction uses it.

    二〇一四年四月十八日
    16Ring signatures

    Each spend is signed by a ring of sixteen possible outputs. An observer cannot tell which one is really being spent.

    16decoys
    01Stealth addresses

    Every payment goes to a fresh one-time address. Your public address never appears on chain.

    1per payment
    00RingCT

    Amounts are hidden with Ring Confidential Transactions and Bulletproofs range proofs, mandatory since 2017.

    0visible amounts
    IPDandelion++

    Transactions hop through random peers before broadcast, so the network never learns which IP created them.

    P2Pstem, then fluff
    0.6Tail emission

    Since 2022 miners earn 0.6 XMR per block forever, so security never depends on fees alone.

    CPURandomX

    Mining is optimised for ordinary CPUs, which keeps hashpower spread out instead of locked in ASIC farms.

    2:00Block time

    A new block every two minutes, with a dynamic block size that grows with demand instead of a hard cap.

    1=1Fungible

    No coin has a history, so no coin can be blacklisted. One XMR is always worth one XMR.

    1 = 1no tainted coins
    Public & private

    Public where you buy. Private where you pay.

    公開と秘匿

    Monero's strength has also been its problem. Every transaction is private, with no way to switch it off, and that is exactly what regulators and big exchanges struggle with.

    Zcash took another path: transparent addresses by default, shielded ones when you want them. That optional side lets it stay listed and packaged for institutions. Monero has no transparent side, so it keeps getting pushed out.

    On Solana · wrapped

    Public XMR

    XMR as a wrapped token on Solana. You buy it from any Solana wallet, it trades like any other token, and it carries no privacy-coin label for an exchange to worry about. When you want privacy there, a zero-knowledge pool like Privacy Cash can break the link between wallets.

    • Easy to buy
    • Public liquidity
    • Privacy optional
    On Monero · native

    Private XMR

    Native XMR on its own chain. Ring signatures, stealth addresses and hidden amounts on every transaction, by default. With FCMP++, the ring of 16 grows to the whole chain, so on-chain privacy gets much stronger.

    • Private by default
    • No history, no blacklist
    • Stronger with FCMP++

    One asset. Public liquidity on Solana. Private transactions on Monero.

    What to know: a wrapped token is only as good as whoever holds the real XMR behind it or runs the bridge. Check that issuer before buying. On Solana the token is public until you move it through a privacy pool, and it only becomes Monero-private once you redeem it for native XMR. Nothing here is financial advice.

    Reference sheet

    The classic community turnaround used for every image on this page. Feed it to any image model as a reference.

    Monero-chan turnaround reference sheet: front, side and back views

    Identity prompt

    The text block that keeps her the same person across models. Paste it after your scene description.

    Monero-chan: very long straight black hair with a bright orange inner underlayer, amber-orange eyes, orange cropped high-collar top with a white-trimmed black Monero M logo on the chest, black bralette under it, black fingerless elbow sleeves, orange mini skirt with a small Monero logo, black thigh-high stockings, orange heels, tiny orange Monero coin earrings. She must look exactly like the girl in the reference sheet.

    Claude Code skill

    Any AI agent draws her on-model: reference sheets, her full description, and one script for images and videos (kie.ai key needed). Paste this in a terminal, then ask “make a Monero-chan image of…”.
