Privacy shouldn't require leaving the ecosystem you're already using.
What impressed me about STRK20 on Starknet isn't just that private transfers are possible. It's that any supported token can be shielded while remaining compatible with DeFi.
That changes the conversation around onchain privacy.
Instead of forcing users into isolated privacy chains or specialized assets, privacy becomes an infrastructure layer that existing assets can tap into.
The video below makes the entire process surprisingly straightforward. If you've been curious about how private balances and transfers actually work on Starknet, it's worth watching.
As demand for confidential transactions continues to grow, building privacy directly into the user experience feels like the direction blockchain has been moving toward all along.

Tbh @StarkWareLtd's STRK20 privacy token standard is cool
It lets users hide on-chain balances and transaction details while keeping compliance checks and regulatory disclosure mechanisms in place.
Points to a maturing privacy stack that tries to balance confidentiality with regulatory requirements.
Web 2 and Web3 converging.
For a long time, crypto treated privacy as something separate from DeFi.
If you wanted privacy, you had to leave the ecosystem, accept worse UX, fragmented liquidity, or high costs.
With Starknet, STRK20s takes a different approach.
Instead of creating a new financial system, it adds privacy as infrastructure to the one that already exists.
Shield when you need privacy. Stay public when you don't.
Same liquidity. Same execution. Just more choice.
That's the direction onchain finance should be heading.
The key takeaway from STRK20s isn't that Starknet added privacy.
It's how privacy was added.
No isolated liquidity.
No separate chain.
No different user flow.
Just the ability to choose when your activity is public and when it isn't.
Privacy works best when users barely have to think about it -- and that's the direction Starknet is taking.
