Confidentiality on Aptos comes in three layers. All three are live on mainnet, and all three are opt-in.
On a public blockchain, a lot is visible by default: balances, transfer amounts, and the details of pending transactions. Each layer gives users a choice over what they share.
‣ Identity: Keyless Accounts
Keyless Accounts let people create and manage blockchain accounts with credentials like Google or Apple, without publicly tying that identity to an onchain address.
‣ Amounts: Confidential APT
Confidential APT allows users and institutions to encrypt balances and transfer amounts. Validators verify a transaction is valid while the amounts stay confidential. Addresses remain visible, keeping a clear pathway to accountability and compliant use cases.
‣ Intent: Encrypted Mempool
Encrypted Mempool lets users opt in to encrypt a transaction's details until its block is finalized, designed to lower the risk of MEV attacks. Sender and gas fee stay visible.
What each layer makes possible:
• Keyless Accounts: getting started with a login people already have
• Confidential APT: payments where amounts stay between sender and receiver
• Encrypted Mempool: institutions can place large orders without signaling intent before execution, traders can encrypt the orders they choose, and AI agents' trade inputs stay encrypted until execution
Confidential APT is available in @PetraWallet and on Confidential Assets Web by @AptosLabs. Encrypted Mempool is available via Petra and on @DecibelTrade.
