StarkWare Launches Shadow Accounts on Starknet
Starknet launched Shadow Accounts, a privacy feature for DeFi activity that gives each app a persistent pseudonymous identity while keeping onchain activity visible. The rollout frames a separation between a main wallet and app-level DeFi use, with balances, transactions, and related calls still公开 onchain.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Users who interact with DeFi on Starknet are the ones most likely to notice this immediately, because their main wallets can be kept separate from app-specific activity while the activity itself stays visible onchain. That means a wallet used across multiple applications no longer has to be the same public identity for each one, even though the associated balances and calls are still disclosed.
In practice, this changes how DeFi activity can be organized on Starknet: applications can track persistent identities tied to their own activity instead of a single publicly linked main wallet. What does not change is that balances, amounts, and contract calls remain public, so the feature adds separation without making the underlying transactions hidden.
