Salvium

Salvium (SAL) is a proof-of-work privacy blockchain that applies CryptoNote techniques—ring signatures, stealth addresses and confidential amounts—together with a compliance-aware design. It targets ~120-second blocks and uses RandomX mining. Emission follows a Monero-style schedule that approaches ~184.4 million SAL before a perpetual tail emission of 3 SAL per block. The protocol introduces CARROT addressing and a dual-scalar ring signature (T-CLSAG) to support optional return and disclosure flows without default on-chain surveillance. SPARC enables recipients to reject and return funds via an encrypted path, while extended view keys allow selective, user-consented transparency. The network includes native staking that currently distributes 20% of block rewards with an estimated ~21,600-block (~30-day) lock-up, and outlines mechanisms (asynchronous transactions and handling of transactional imbalances) intended to underpin future private financial features.
