Starknet launches a privacy development kit to support developers in building privacy DeFi applications
Foresight News reports that, according to the Starknet blog, Starknet has released its privacy development suite, officially launching the Privacy SDK and Privacy Wallet API for developers. These tools allow any wallet or application to integrate privacy features without the need to build underlying infrastructure themselves. The released Privacy SDK is a TypeScript client (Apache 2.0 license), suitable for wallets and advanced integrators; the Privacy Wallet API is aimed at regular DApps, allowing developers to use starknet.js to enable shielding, transfers, unshielding, and swap functions, without the need to handle viewing keys or zero-knowledge proofs directly.
Starknet stated that its privacy token standard STRK20 has already been deployed on the mainnet, supporting the transformation of any ERC-20 token into assets with shielded balances and private transfer functionalities. The underlying mechanism uses zero-knowledge STARK proofs for on-chain verification, without disclosing the sender, receiver, or amount. Currently, several ecosystem projects such as avnu, Troves, ForgeYields, Ready, Xverse, and Ekubo have already begun development based on this privacy stack.
