Aptos introduces three layers of confidentiality on mainnet

Keyless accounts, Confidential APT and an encrypted mempool give users opt-in privacy over identity, amounts and transaction intent Public blockchains have always had an awkward relationship with privacy.

The network has rolled out three opt-in confidentiality layers on mainnet, covering who you are, how much you send and what you intend to do before your transaction lands.
