Starknet has launched STRK20, a token privacy framework that enables confidential transactions for ERC-20 assets, including the first shielded Bitcoin asset called strkBTC. The framework allows senders, receivers, and amounts to be hidden from public view while supporting DeFi activities like swaps, lending, and staking. Ztarknet, still in development, aims to bring Starknet’s execution engine to Zcash as its own layer 2. Compliance is built in through viewing keys and selective disclosure mechanisms. These developments could attract institutional interest as privacy regulations tighten globally.
