Everyone agrees privacy is really important for blockchain. They're right. But more important is to have *useable* privacy. The kind of privacy you're familiar with from web2 experience. If you want to do more than just transfer tokens from one user to another (maybe swap tokens through an AMM? Borrow stables with BTC as collateral? Generate yield by staking? All these things and more), you'd love the veil and benefits of privacy. STRK20 makes all of this possible: a new protocol that will let users do all of their financial transactions (staking, borrowing and lending, swapping, etc.) under one big veil of privacy, and do so with fast finality and smooth UX. It's like your experience with apps such as Revolut and Robinhood, but self-custodial and blockchain based. STRK20 is the *first* protocol that lets you do all of this. Like other things we've trailblazed – Validium, Cairo, Smart Wallets (account abstraction), post-quantum security and formal verification – Starknet is ahead of the curve. That's what future proof blockchain looks like.
