Summary

StarkWare is integrating EY’s Nightfall privacy technology into Starknet to enable institutional adoption of blockchain infrastructure. This enables private B2B payments, fund operations, and transfers of tokenized assets without exposing transaction details. The initiative highlights digital assets as more companies seek secure, scalable solutions for confidential transactions.

BlockBeats news: On February 17, according to The Block, StarkWare is integrating Nightfall—an open-source zero-knowledge privacy layer developed by EY, one of the Big Four accounting firms—into its Starknet to enable confidential institutional transactions on public blockchain infrastructure.

This enables institutions to conduct private B2B payments, fund transfers, and tokenized asset movements on public blockchains without exposing sensitive transaction details. StarkWare states that Nightfall inherently supports transaction privacy while also enabling selective disclosure and compliance requirements such as Know Your Customer (KYC), making the system suitable for institutional users.
