Public blockchains made digital assets programmable, transferable, and accessible across applications. But they also introduced a fundamental trade-off: financial activity is often publicly observable by default.

A token can power a decentralized application, represent an asset, facilitate payments, or provide access to a service. Yet on most transparent blockchain networks, the transactions involving that token can leave a publicly traceable history.

Privacy is then something developers have to add later, as an afterthought. Beldex changes this approach.

At Beldex, we have taken the exact opposite approach: we start with privacy at the network layer and build outward from there.

With Confidential Assets, also known as Privacy Tokens, now live on the Beldex testnet, we are extending that approach beyond BDX and enabling developers to deploy/issue their own privacy-preserving assets directly on the Beldex network.

The implementation is being introduced through the Proto testnet hard fork at block...
