StarkWare and Sui introduce auditable private transfer features
StarkWare and Sui have introduced new privacy features designed to conceal transaction details while still allowing audits and regulatory responses. StarkWare launched STRK20, an ERC-20 token privacy framework for StarkNet that can hide user balances and transaction data but permits disclosure in certain cases. CEO Eli Ben-Sasson (엘리 벤사손) said it does not itself determine legal compliance or guarantee regulatory approval. Sui also began an open beta for private transfers.

StarkWare researcher proposes way to block quantum attacks on bitcoin without soft fork
A StarkWare researcher has published a paper proposing a way to protect bitcoin transactions from quantum-computing attacks without a soft fork. The paper introduces “Quantum Safe Bitcoin,” or QSB, which aims to add quantum resistance using only existing legacy script constraints. It replaces elliptic-curve cryptography with a Binohash-based structure using one-time signatures and a new hash-to-signature puzzle. The author said the approach is costly, at about $75 to $150 per transaction.

How Ethereum layer2 can differentiate from layer1? Starknet\'s privacy push in focus
Competition among Ethereum layer2 networks has entered a new phase as Vitalik Buterin puts more weight on strengthening layer1. That leaves layer2 chains needing to differentiate in areas Ethereum cannot or does not pursue. A key word Buterin highlighted is privacy. Crypto media Bankless pointed to Starknet, a layer2 developed by StarkWare, and its STRK20 standard that makes ERC-20 tokens private by default through a “privacy pool.”
