PANews February 26 News, according to the official blog, Starknet announced the launch of a new wrapped asset, strkBTC, designed to provide optional privacy protection for Bitcoin. strkBTC is an asset issued on Starknet that can be exchanged bidirectionally with native Bitcoin, aiming to address privacy leaks caused by Bitcoin’s transparent ledger.
strkBTC supports two modes: in “non-shielded mode,” it operates as a standard ERC-20 token with publicly visible balances and transfers; in “shielded mode,” the asset balance and transaction details are hidden. This privacy mechanism is based on a pragmatic design, defaulting to confidentiality for the public but supporting compliance auditing through Viewing Keys, ensuring it can operate in regulated environments. With strkBTC, users can participate in DeFi staking or settlement without exposing their positions and strategies. Starknet stated that strkBTC will be officially launched soon and will gradually expand its privacy features in the future.
