[Aptos Launches Privacy Token Confidential APT] According to Cointelegraph, Aptos has launched the privacy token Confidential APT on its mainnet. The token is pegged 1:1 to APT and uses zero-knowledge proofs to conceal balances and transaction amounts while retaining wallet address visibility and transaction verifiability. Sherry Xiao, founding engineer at Aptos Labs, stated that the token aims to address the conflict between blockchain privacy and compliance transparency, protecting sensitive information such as on-chain payroll. Activation of audit keys requires approval through on-chain governance voting, with the launch stemming from a governance proposal that was nearly unanimously passed. Xiao anticipates faster adoption among individual users compared to enterprises.
