Mastering Chain-Level Privacy on Cardano with Confidential Transactions and Shielded ADA
This article explores the advanced concept of implementing chain-level privacy on Cardano utilizing Confidential Transactions (CT) and Shielded ADA, primarily through the dedicated Midnight sidechain. The core mechanism relies on Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), specifically zk-SNARKs, to allow for verifiability without revealing sensitive transaction details like amounts or parties.
