Developers Meeting: Moonlight Protocol (privacy layer by AHA) launches on Stellar mainnet. Chad and Gorka explain UTXO model for privacy, compliance-ready provider bundling, and regulatory framework. Covers architecture and provider councils for regulated finance use cases.
Stellar Developers Meeting 08/27 features Moonlight Protocol, a non-custodial privacy layer launched on Stellar mainnet by AHA. Chad and Gorka guide developers through the UTXO model that shields account balances and transactions from public view while maintaining compliance. The system uses privacy providers (likely banks or financial institutions) to facilitate transactions, bundle payments, and satisfy regulatory requirements without requiring end-user custody of sensitive data. Developers learn about provider councils for regional governance, entropy tuning for privacy-cost tradeoffs, and selective transparency for compliance. 3,500+ monthly active developers participate in exploring how regulated finance moves to public blockchains with privacy.
