Starknet (STRK)

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.

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.
