Private stablecoin your boss can't see. But the taxman can.
OpenZeppelin building confidential stablecoin on $XLM. The angle? Confidentiality, not anonymity.
Here's the distinction:
- Anonymity = hides WHO (like $XMR, full ghost mode)
- Confidentiality = hides WHAT (amounts/balances visible, identities public)
You see wallet A paid wallet B. You don't see how much.
Why this matters for business:
- Company transfers between branches: everyone knows the link, amounts stay private
- Your salary: employer visible, exact pay is nobody's business
- The sensitive part is the number, not the relationship
Issuer can still freeze accounts and stay compliant. That's the regulatory unlock for institutional adoption.
Privacy maxis won't love the freeze function. Valid concern. But that's the tradeoff that makes private money actually deployable in regulated environments.
$XLM positioning for real enterprise use case here.
