On-Chain Privacy Is Here
summary
Claims a workable on‑chain privacy stack: a compiler that turns Solidity into zero‑knowledge circuits (Starlite), and a ZK rollup payment layer that achieves instant finality and full privacy (Nightfall). Both are open source, Starlite is used by ~80 firms, Nightfall drops cost from ~$100 to $0.05 per transaction and currently handles ~400 million transactions a day with a roadmap to 4 billion. Design emphasizes composability, permanence of assets inside the privacy layer, and regulatory accountability.
