So, Vesper Network is this live testnet that comes from Monero and it’s all about quick block times, privacy-focused UTXO design, and handy wallet tools.
Here’s what’s already set up:
- Monero-like privacy features (RingCT, stealth addresses, RandomX for proof of work)
- Multi-node P2P sync is up and running along with block propagation
- Aiming for blocks every 15 seconds
- Emission details:
Starting reward is 10 VSPR
Halving happens roughly every year (around 2,102,400 blocks at 15 seconds)
Tail emission set at 0.075 VSPR per block
- Renamed binaries:
vesperd
vesper-wallet-cli
vesper-wallet-rpc
vesper-blockchain-*
Plus, there’s a wallet permission layer (AppKeys):
- It’s built into vesper-wallet-rpc and wallet flow, so apps don’t get to see the seed key
- You can control spending per app: by transaction, daily limits, total allocations
- There’s session binding, nonce replay protection, and rate limiting in place
- Checks for whitelists/blacklists on transactions
- If the rules are enforced, any direct spend RPC that doesn’t have valid AppKeys gets blocked (ERROR: DIRECT_WALLET_ACCESS_BLOCKED_BY_APPKEYS)
