🔒 Privacy Features Now Available for Bitcoin, Stablecoins, and Ethereum Tokens
A new development enables **private balances, transfers, and DeFi operations** for Bitcoin, stablecoins, ETH, and ERC-20 tokens. **Key Features:** - Private balance management across major cryptocurrencies - Confidential transfer capabilities - Privacy-enabled DeFi interactions The technical implementation details are available in a research paper at [eprint.iacr.org/2026/474](https://eprint.iacr.org/2026/474). This builds on previous work with eERCs (encrypted ERCs), which introduced private balances on public blockchains. Developers can access the SDK at [GitHub](https://github.com/ava-labs/ac-eerc-sdk). The advancement addresses a fundamental gap in cryptocurrency functionality, bringing privacy features to tokens that previously operated with fully transparent transactions.
