Starknet launches strkBTC, bringing zero-knowledge privacy Bitcoin to Ethereum Layer 2

Odaily Planet Daily News: Starknet, an Ethereum Layer 2 network developed by StarkWare, has officially launched strkBTC, a novel Bitcoin-based asset designed to enable private balances and anonymous transfers through zero-knowledge (ZK) proof technology while maintaining composability with DeFi applications. After its launch, strkBTC supports "re-anonymization," allowing assets to be bridged back to new, unlinked Bitcoin addresses, and also provides compliance auditing and asset screening features.
