Starknet brings programmable privacy to Zcash-style assets

The STRK20 framework and the Ztarknet project aim to give private money something it has long lacked: the ability to actually do things Starknet now offers programmable private money , the kind of confidential digital cash Zcash pioneered, through its new privacy features. The effort runs on two tracks. One is STRK20, a token privacy framework that is live on Starknet, the Ethereum layer 2 network. The other is Ztarknet, a project still in development that would bring Starknet’s execution engine to Zcash as its own layer 2. STRK20 is a framework for token-level privacy. It applies to any ERC-20-like asset, the standard format for most tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem. Once a token uses STRK20, its balances and transfers can be confidential.
