The Confidential Asset Standard: Privacy for Fungible Tokens

Ecosystem
1

The Confidential Asset (CA) Standard introduces a privacy layer for fungible assets.

With CA, users can transfer tokens without revealing the amount, while sender and recipient addresses remain public.

Any existing fungible asset can be wrapped into a Confidential Asset, preserving compatibility across the ecosystem.

It supports 64-bit transfers and 128-bit balances, providing both efficiency and scalability.

Transactions rely on zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to verify correctness without exposing sensitive data — proving that privacy and transparency can coexist on-chain.

“You can see who sent it, but not how much they sent.”

You know for some reason up until now I had the misconception the CA entailed completely incognito transactions i.e the transaction may exist onchain, with no indication of sender and receiver but simply that a transaction occured​:man_facepalming:t5::joy:, this makes so much more sense, thanks.
