CryptoNote is an application layer protocol designed for use with cryptocurrencies that aims to solve specific problems identified in Bitcoin.^[1] Namely:

Traceability of transactions
The proof-of-work function (see Bitcoin network)
Irregular emission
Hardcoded constants
Bulky scripts

The protocol powers several decentralized privacy-oriented cryptocurrencies, including Monero and MobileCoin.^[2]^[3]

Nothing is known about the original author of CryptoNote, "Nicolas van Saberhagen."^[4] Its mathematical component and motivation are described in the article "CryptoNote Whitepaper", released in two editions: in 2012 and in 2013.^[5]^[6] Launched in the summer of 2012, Bytecoin was the first cryptocurrency to use this technology.
