Introduction to GRIN and Mimblewimble Protocol

GRIN is an open-source community project implementing the Mimblewimble protocol. It aims to provide privacy and scalability to blockchain transactions. The Mimblewimble protocol focuses on minimalism and keeps little information on the chain, hiding transaction amounts and addresses. The protocol requires an interactive process between the sender and receiver to build transactions, enhancing privacy. GRIN's unique transaction structure allows for aggregation and removes unnecessary data on the chain through a process called cut-through.
