At the Zama CoFHE Shop, the Stellar Development Foundation and Predicate discussed the emerging balance between privacy, compliance, and auditability on blockchains. SDF's Chief Product Officer Tomer argued that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to privacy. Instead, Stellar is building the cryptographic primitives so developers can layer whatever privacy solutions their use cases require. Predicate's head of business development emphasized that privacy and compliance evolve together, not sequentially. Key blockers to adoption include the lack of user-friendly products and regulatory uncertainty. SDF announced Protocol 25 X-Ray, bringing cryptographic building blocks (pairing-friendly elliptic curves, Poseidon hash functions) to Stellar, along with integrations for Noir, a zero-knowledge DSL, and RISC-Zero verifiers. SDF is collaborating with Nethermind on Stellar Private Payments, a privacy-preserving protocol based on Privacy Pools research, and shipping a confidential tokens implementation. The consensus: the cryptographic infrastructure is ready; the market needs better products and regulatory clarity.
