-==== What is Conceal? ====+==== WHAT IS CONCEAL? ====
  
-Conceal Network is a decentralized blockchain, with deposits paying interest, without the involvement of financial institutions, powered by 100% open source code and community driven. No one owns Conceal Network, everyone can take part.+Conceal Network provides the ability for individuals to communicate and financially interact with each other in a privetaly, anonymous and decentralized manner.
  
-Conceal Network enables untraceable and anonymous messaging, and a secure way to transfer funds. Using a distributed public ledger, the sender and receiver are kept anonymous, a key concern in a post Snowden world. Hackers cannot trace funds or messages when they are sent across public networks.+Conceal is a decentralized privacy-protected network designed for De-Fi and encrypted communications. It offers protocol-level private transactions, blockchain deposits and on-chain encrypted messages without a central authority.
  
-(₡CCX), the native coin of Conceal Network, is based on the Cryptonote protocol and runs on a secure peer-to-peer network technology that operates with no central authority. You control the private keys to your funds.+Conceal is censorship-resistant and accessible by anyone regardless of their geographic location or status. All interactions, transactions and messages are private and untraceable.
  
-Conceal Network is accessible to anyone in the world regardless of their geographic location or status. Our blockchain is resistant to any kind of analysis. All your ₡CCX transactions and messages are anonymous. +Conceal is powered by open-source code, community-driven and truly decentralized.
  
-Conceal Network avoids many Bitcoin concerns (e.g. technological, environmental impacts, reputation and security) and is an excellent private alternative store of value.+No one owns Conceal, everyone can take part.
  
-=== Privacy Oriented Cryptocurrency ===+== VISION == 
 +Conceal ($CCX) envisions a future where privacy is not just a luxury but a fundamental human right, especially in the digital realm. Inspired by the Cypherpunk Manifesto, Conceal is dedicated to building anonymous systems and defending privacy with cryptography. We believe in empowering individuals with tools and technologies that enable them to protect their privacy, resist surveillance, and maintain control over their personal data.
  
-Conceal is an open source, privacy protected, peer-to-peer digital cash system. It's untraceable and completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or trusted parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and transact directly with each other in a secure P2P network environment. It has a decentralized finance system at its core and instant untraceable encrypted messages.+== MISSION == 
 +Our mission is to provide individuals with a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that embodies the principles of the Cypherpunk movement. By leveraging advanced cryptographic techniques, Conceal ensures that every transaction is private, secure, and censorship-resistant. We aim to create a decentralized financial ecosystem where users have full control over their funds and can transact freely without fear of surveillance or interference. 
 + 
 +== PRIVACY BY DESIGN == 
 +Conceal's privacy design is rooted in the Cypherpunk ethos, focusing on anonymity, decentralization, and cryptographic privacy. With unique one-time addresses for each payment, Conceal ensures that transactions are unlinkable and untraceable, preserving user privacy in the digital age. Our use of ring signatures and cryptographic signatures further enhances privacy, making it virtually impossible for third parties to monitor or track transactions. 
 + 
 +== COMMUNITY & DEVELOPMENT == 
 +At the heart of Conceal is a vibrant and passionate community of individuals dedicated to preserving privacy and advancing the Cypherpunk agenda. Our developers are committed to writing code that defends privacy and empowers users, following the Cypherpunk tradition of publishing open-source software for the benefit of all. We believe in decentralization not just as a technical concept but as a social movement, where individuals come together to reclaim their privacy and freedom. 
 + 
 +== DECENTRALIZATION & RESISTANCE == 
 +Conceal is more than just a cryptocurrency; it's a symbol of resistance against centralized control and surveillance. With a decentralized network powered by blockchain technology, Conceal ensures that no single entity or authority can dictate the rules or monitor transactions. We stand firm in our commitment to decentralization and resistance, empowering individuals to take back control of their financial sovereignty. 
 + 
 +== JOIN THE PRIVACY REVOLUTION ==  
 +In a world where privacy is increasingly under threat, Conceal offers a beacon of hope for those who value freedom, anonymity, and privacy. Join us in our mission to build a more private and secure future, where individuals have the power to transact freely and privately, without fear of censorship or surveillance. Together, we can make privacy a reality in the digital age.

-==== Wrapped Conceal ====+==== Wrapped Conceal ($wCCX) ====
  
 On the Ethereum ecosystem, Wrapped Conceal ($wCCX) allows the use of a variety of financial instruments already available in DeFi, like decentralized trading on Uniswap and other DEX'es. It allows $wCCX users to create leveraged stable coin trades as a yield aggregator for lending platforms that re-balance for the highest yield during contract interaction (supported stable coins include, $DAI $USDC $USDT $TUSD). In addition, $wCCX allows users to offer Liquidity Pools (know as LPs) to earn additional interest on their yield-bearing tokens, where traders can even create leveraged positions.  On the Ethereum ecosystem, Wrapped Conceal ($wCCX) allows the use of a variety of financial instruments already available in DeFi, like decentralized trading on Uniswap and other DEX'es.

-Our community premine is 6% of the maximum supply. The 12M of community funds were locked over a 5 year period. Every quarter (3 months), a deposit of 400K ₡CCX is released to cover operation expense, exchange listings, marketing efforts and to pay team members and collaborators.  +Our community treasury is 8% of the maximum supply. Every quarter (3 months), a settlement of 400K ₡CCX is released to cover project needs. In order to unlock funds and have them available in the project wallet, a manual process is used. This method provides the highest level of transparency by giving the ability for anyone to verify funds in the project wallet at anytime.

 Deposits must be unlocked manually, because they use private keys (just like any normal Cryptonote transaction) and can't be automatized. Each time funds are unlocked to the project main wallet there is a corresponding image to a hash key. Any deposit amounts moved from the locked reserve to the project wallet are therefore verifiable by hash keys. Deposits must be unlocked manually, because they use private keys (just like any normal Cryptonote transaction) and can't be automatized.
