What is Dero (DERO)?
DERO is a general purpose, private and decentralized application platform that allows developers to deploy powerful and unstoppable applications where users retain total control over their assets with complete privacy. It is our goal to create a sound monetary framework that will globally safeguard the privacy of all users and empower free markets to thrive with complete auditability. Stargate is built upon the first homomorphic encryption blockchain protocol.
How does Dero work?
Simply put, account activity on the DERO network is never decrypted by anyone other than its owner using a homomorphic encryption scheme for all transactions on the network, including transactions to and from smart contracts. This is achieved using a new and unique homomorphic encryption scheme (DERO-HE) and the underlying DERO Homomorphic Encryption Blockchain Protocol (DHEBP).
What is Dero used for?
Stargate also comes with some convenient features including: - Homomorphic encryption account model - Human-readable addresses (usernames) - Efficient and decentralized proof-of-work mining - Instant coin and token balance syncing - Native token transfers via wallet - Support for both public and private token smart contracts - Web socket support for connectivity with decentralized applications - Transfer settlement in ~18 seconds (1 block) - Blockchain pruning (light nodes) - Fixed supply with halving

The distance from ATH is a useful gauge of recovery potential during a bear market and of stretched positioning during a bull market. Combined with the all-time-low figure it provides a quick statistical frame for thinking about where DERO sits in its long-run price range.
What is the market cap of Dero (DERO)?
Dero's market capitalization is currently $2.61M, and it is ranked #2195 by market cap on Cryptopricing. Market cap is calculated as the current price multiplied by the circulating supply (12.68 million DERO are actively circulating today).
Market cap is a common but imperfect measure. It reflects the theoretical value of every circulating token at the current market price, but it doesn't capture how thin the top of the order book might be - an important caveat for tokens with low floats or illiquid cap tables.
What is the fully diluted valuation of Dero (DERO)?
The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of Dero is $3.79M. FDV is a projection of what the market cap would be if every token that will ever exist - including those that have not yet been unlocked, mined or issued - were in circulation at the current price.
FDV is a useful second reading alongside market cap. A large gap between mcap and FDV signals that future token emissions could dilute current holders, while a small gap indicates that supply is already mostly out.

How to store Dero?
Like any crypto asset, the right way to store DERO depends on how often you plan to use it. Long-term holders typically self-custody using a hardware wallet such as Ledger or Trezor, which keeps private keys offline and immune to most remote attacks.
For active traders, a reputable custodial exchange wallet can be appropriate, especially one with clear proof-of-reserves attestations. Whatever approach you choose, the most important rule is to keep your recovery phrase offline, never share it, and never enter it into a web form or attached to a DM - no legitimate support agent will ever ask for it.
