StarkWare is integrating EY\u2019s Nightfall privacy protocol into Starknet to give institutions private payments and DeFi access on public Ethereum-aligned rails, while preserving auditability.<\/p>\n

Starknet developer StarkWare has integrated EY\u2019s Nightfall privacy protocol to let institutions run private payments and decentralized finance (DeFi) activity on public Ethereum-aligned rails, targeting banks and corporates that need confidentiality without giving up auditability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a Tuesday release shared with Cointelegraph, StarkWare positioned the move as a way for enterprises to use a shared, open layer-2<\/a> rather than closed, bank-only networks, while working with a Big Four firm that already audits many of the organizations it wants to onboard.<\/p>\n

The integration brings Nightfall, an open-source zero-knowledge (ZK)<\/a> privacy layer built by EY, that lets transactions be verified without revealing underlying data, onto Starknet to enable private B2B and cross-border payments, confidential treasury management and 24\/7 tokenized asset transfers onchain.<\/p>\n
