Confidential transfers allow merchants to provide confidentiality for transaction amounts to their consumers while maintaining visibility for regulatory purposes.
PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin, which was recently deployed on Solana, will offer “confidential transfers” as an additional feature.
On May 29, payments platform PayPal announced that it had deployed its PYUSD dollar-pegged stablecoin on Solana, having only previously been available on Ethereum.
One notable extension initialized for PYUSD is “confidential transfers,” which will allow merchants to “provide confidentiality for transaction amounts to their consumers while maintaining visibility for regulatory purposes,” according to a May 29 Solana blog post.
