Public

Everything is visible. Fine for retail payments and open markets.

Confidential Balances

Keep every payment amount confidential.

Confidential Balances encrypts amounts and balances. An auditor named by the issuer can see transfer amounts. Addresses stay visible for now, and address hiding is in development.

Auditors and regulators keep the view they need.

Each tool keeps a view for the people who need to see the data.

Auditor key

Issuers can name an auditor who sees transfer amounts.

Visible wallets

Wallet addresses stay visible to the auditor, so sanctions screening still works.

Verified credentials

Confirm a customer passed KYC without seeing personal data, through the Solana Attestation Service.

Travel Rule

Payments can carry a reference to Travel Rule data.
