Starknet has introduced Shieldnet, a new privacy framework called STRK20 that protects transaction details for 45 ERC-20 tokens on its Ethereum Layer 2 network. Using zero-knowledge proofs, Shieldnet encrypts transaction data, hiding sender, receiver, and amounts from public view while allowing selective disclosure to regulators. This system supports privacy in DeFi activities like swaps and liquidity provision, with integrations including AVNU and Ekubo. Since its rollout starting in May 2026, the privacy pool has processed over 14,000 deposits and locked around $350,000 in value, marking a significant step for privacy in blockchain transactions.
