Developer Preview: Stellar Private Payments with Nethermind

Stellar Private Payments is available on testnet as a developer preview. Built by Nethermind, it's a zero-knowledge privacy pool protocol that breaks the link between deposit and withdrawal addresses while maintaining compliance readiness. Web and Rust SDKs are live.

Lumen Loop's take

Stellar Private Payments brings application-layer privacy to Stellar through a zero-knowledge privacy pool implementation. Unlike confidential tokens (which hide amounts), SPP hides the relationship between depositor and withdrawer addresses, enabling private relationships for cross-border donations, B2B supplier links, and payroll. The protocol uses Groth 16 zero-knowledge proofs and Circom, built on Protocol 25 and 26 cryptographic primitives. Available now on testnet with web and Rust SDKs, a demo app, and CLI tools. Not yet audited; testnet-only for now to gather developer feedback before mainnet launch.
