This is the implementation of the Epic Wallet.
MimbleWimble is a blockchain format and protocol that provides extremely good scalability, privacy and fungibility by relying on strong cryptographic primitives. It addresses gaps existing in almost all current blockchain implementations.
Epic is an open source software project that implements a MimbleWimble blockchain and fills the gaps required for a full blockchain and cryptocurrency deployment.
The main goal and characteristics of the Epic project are:
- Privacy by default. This enables complete fungibility without precluding the ability to selectively disclose information as needed.
- Scales mostly with the number of users and minimally with the number of
transactions (<100 byte
kernel), resulting in a large space saving compared to other blockchains. - Strong and proven cryptography. MimbleWimble only relies on Elliptic Curve Cryptography which has been tried and tested for decades.
- Design simplicity that makes it easy to audit and maintain over time.
- Community driven, encouraging mining decentralization.
Epic is live with mainnet.

By the end of this section, you should have the basic knowledge of how to run Epic Cash and its different binaries functions.
Here are the basic topics:
Has more information about the project, such as how to do transactions, and details about mining.
Here are the basic topics:
If you want to build the projects, you should be able to have the minimum requirements for building the projects directly from their repositories.
