Privateness coming to XRP Ledger
In a current tweet, RippleX revealed preliminary discussions of an upcoming modification which may deliver privateness to the XRP Ledger.
Confidential MPT is a spec for the XRP Ledger that might deliver privateness to balances and transfers. Nevertheless, public auditability and validator-enforced checks would stay unchanged, making a safe monetary setting.
Confidential MPTs present confidential transfers and balances utilizing EC-ElGamal encryption and Zero-Information Proofs (ZKPs), whereas preserving XLS-33 semantics.
This design aligns naturally with XLS-33, which permits versatile tokenization on the XRP Ledger; nonetheless, all balances and transfers stay publicly seen, which could restrict adoption in institutional and privacy-sensitive contexts. Confidential MPTs handle this hole by introducing encrypted balances and confidential transfers whereas preserving XLS-33 semantics.
