Developers now have two options for integration:
SDK (TypeScript, Apache 2.0)
- Designed for wallets and advanced integrators
- Provides full control over proving and notes
- Open-source implementation
Wallet API (starknet.js)
- Simplified integration for standard applications
- Apps never handle viewing keys or proofs directly
- Wallet manages all cryptographic operations
This dual approach balances flexibility for power users with security and simplicity for mainstream developers.
Two ways in: โข SDK (TypeScript, Apache 2.0): for wallets and advanced integrators who want full control over proving and notes โข Wallet API (starknet.js): for everyone else, your app never touches viewing keys or proofs, the wallet handles it
๐ Privacy Wave Hits Starknet

**Multiple teams are building privacy-focused applications on Starknet using STRK20:** - **AVNU** - Trading and routing for STRK20 and private asset flows - **Troves** - Automated yield vaults with private deposits - **Forge Yields** - Cross-chain yield vaults exploring institutional-grade private allocation - **Provable Games** - Exploring private onchain organizations - **Invoicemate** - Building a private mainnet with one-click privacy toggle for lenders These developments follow earlier announcements about STRK20 expanding across the Starknet ecosystem, including open-source SDK access, a Proof of Privacy incubator, and private swaps through AVNU and Ekubo.
๐ Privacy Layer Enables Anonymous Swaps Without New Wallets or Isolated Pools
A new privacy solution allows users to perform **anonymous swaps** directly against existing liquidity pools without requiring isolated pools or cold starts. **Key features:** - Multi-call privacy enables users to unshield, swap, repay, and reshield assets in a single transaction - Works through existing signing keys via native account abstraction - no new wallet required - Users can shield assets in one click and control wallet disclosure - Builders can add private flows without rebuilding privacy infrastructure - Compatible with ERC-20 assets on Starknet without new token standards or wrappers - Designed for institutional use with confidentiality by default and customizable disclosure paths The solution addresses common privacy challenges by integrating with existing DeFi infrastructure rather than creating fragmented liquidity pools.
๐ Starknet Privacy Stack Goes Live for Developers
Starknet has officially launched its privacy infrastructure for builders with the release of SDK and Wallet API tools. **What's New:** - Developers can now integrate privacy features into their applications using the new SDK and Wallet API - Shielded balances and private DeFi protocols are already operational on mainnet - The STRK20 standard enables users to shield any asset with one click **Key Features:** - Privacy layer works without requiring new token standards or wrapped assets - Built-in compliance layer for institutional use cases - Minimal integration work required for existing teams The infrastructure aims to bring practical privacy to crypto applications while maintaining compatibility with existing ERC-20 assets and DeFi protocols.
Starknet Privacy Pool Implements Dual-Layer Key Management System
The Financial Privacy Inc (FPI) holds the master disclosure key within a dual-enclave Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), establishing a multi-layered security framework for Starknet's privacy infrastructure. **Key Security Measures:** - Primary protection: 3-of-4 multisig split between StarkWare and FPI - Secondary backup: 7-of-12 multisig controlled by Starknet Security Council - Disclosure only occurs through valid lawful requests assessed by FPI **Privacy Pool Operation:** - Users undergo screening upon entry to STRK20 Privacy Pool - All activity remains encrypted once inside - Selective disclosure limited to specific users, transfers, or time windows as legally required This architecture balances privacy protection with regulatory compliance through independent oversight.
