Smart contract privacy refers to the ability to conceal sensitive information or transaction details within smart contract executions on a blockchain. While most blockchain transactions are publicly visible, smart contract privacy solutions employ cryptographic techniques like zero-knowledge proofs or homomorphic encryption to shield data. This allows computations to occur without revealing the underlying inputs or outputs to all network participants. It addresses the transparency limitations of public ledgers for confidential applications.
Context
Smart contract privacy is a significant area of research and development, with news frequently covering advancements in zero-knowledge technology and privacy-focused blockchain protocols. The demand for confidential transactions and private application logic is growing, especially for enterprise use cases and regulatory compliance. The ongoing challenge involves achieving privacy without sacrificing decentralization or auditability.
