They delve into its technical design, how it compares to Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, and its potential to streamline Monero transactions by enabling off-chain payments without routing complexities. Sean shares insights from MoneroKon, discusses Monero’s resilience despite theoretical attack vectors, and explains how Grease aligns with upcoming upgrades like Full Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++). He also touches on real-world use cases, wallet integration, and Grease’s flexible, decentralized approach aimed at boosting Monero’s usability and innovation. TIMESTAMPS: (00:03:40) Sean's background and involvement in Monero development (00:06:29) Privacy strength of Monero and resistance to chain analysis (00:10:21) Comparisons to other privacy coins (e.g., Zcash) (00:12:26) MoneroKon research papers and Eclipse attacks on nodes. (00:14:35) Discussion on Full Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++) and its progress. (00:18:37) Clarifying Zero-Knowledge Proofs and Monero's cryptographic foundation. (00:22:11) History and capabilities of Turing-complete ZKPs in other projects. (00:26:16) Philosophy of "minimaxing" – Monero focuses only on privacy. (00:27:19) Debating if Monero needs to become Turing complete. (00:31:05) Introduction to "Grease" – Monero-compatible payment channel proposal. (00:31:42) Technical hurdles for payment channels in Monero (e.g., no transaction chaining). (00:35:01) Feasibility of Grease today vs. post-FCMP++. (00:36:38) Clarifying the benefits and use cases of Grease (instant payments, off-chain privacy). (00:39:39) Why Layer 2 doesn’t conflict with Monero’s scaling philosophy. (00:46:41) Grease vs. Bitcoin Lightning Network (00:56:05) Feedback from MoneroKon and Reddit – cautious optimism from developers.

Diego, a longtime Monero contributor and founder of Cypherstack, discusses Stack Wallet—an open-source, multi-platform wallet for privacy coins—and stresses the importance of user-friendly design in privacy tech. The conversation dives into FCMPs, which will expand Monero’s anonymity set from around 16 to potentially every transaction ever made, with only a logarithmic increase in size. Luke, a mathematician and cryptographer, details the recent hurdles involving 'divisors'—key components that improve FCMP efficiency—and how they overcame complex security challenges to develop a secure version now under review by the Monero Research Lab. Diego ranks privacy levels across cryptocurrencies, placing current Monero at a 1, Firo’s Lelantus Spark at 4, and Zcash’s Halo 2 Orchard at 10. With FCMPs, he believes Monero could reach 9 or 10—on par with Zcash. The discussion also covers post-quantum cryptography as the next big frontier, with Cypherstack already exploring solutions. Despite earlier setbacks, FCMP development is back on schedule, targeting a Q1 2026 deployment pending code compatibility checks led by MRL’s Justin Ehrenhofer.
