Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Mimblewimble |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | A short 2016 note on a ledger that stores confidential transactions and can delete spent history. Grin and Beam are later implementations. The note itself is the primary text. |
| Who may write | Tom Elvis Jedusor |
| What is settled | Values sit inside Pedersen commitments. The chain checks that inputs minus outputs sum to zero, plus the fee. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Grin and Beam added consensus, wallets and policy that are not in the 2016 text. |
| What this library says afterwards | Removing scripts also removes the easy place to put application logic. That is a constraint, not a footnote. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
