BlockBeats News, February 17 — According to The Block, StarkWare is integrating Nightfall (an open-source zero-knowledge privacy layer developed by one of the Big Four accounting firms, Ernst & Young) into its Starknet for confidential institutional transactions on public blockchain infrastructure.
This move allows institutions to conduct private B2B payments, fund operations, and tokenized asset transfers on public blockchains without exposing sensitive transaction details. StarkWare states that Nightfall defaults to transaction privacy while supporting selective disclosure and compliance requirements, such as customer identity verification (KYC), enabling the system to meet the needs of institutional users.
