Could you build this?

No This is a Layer-1 blockchain with consensus, a privacy-focused ring-signature engine (RingCT/MLSAG), and P2P networking. Getting these cryptographic and distributed-systems pieces right requires specialized expertise and extensive security auditing.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a consensus protocol, a P2P networking stack, and a ring-signature cryptographic library, plus wallet and node tooling. The hard parts are cryptographic correctness, security audits, and network economics, which need cryptography and distributed-systems experts.
