Monero Protocol Engineering: For Contributors

The level a Monero core or research contributor is expected to know. Implementation-grade detail: the Ed25519 cofactor-8 pitfalls and point validation, decoy selection and the output-age distribution, CLSAG's exact aggregated construction, the Bulletproofs+ weighted inner-product argument, multisig with the Janus and burning-bug edge cases, and the Seraphis/Jamtis/FCMP++ roadmap. Ends with a quiz built to gate real contributors.
