Private Balance
The next leap in privacy: a shielded pool that hides amounts, so your balance becomes fully invisible — not just unlinkable.
Where we are today
Stealth transfers already hide the recipient and break the sender ↔ receiver link, and your private balance is spread across one-time addresses only your keys can find. Private Balance completes the picture by hiding the numbers as well.
How it will work
Funds deposit into a shielded pool. Inside the pool, balances and transfer amounts are represented as cryptographic commitments — value moves and settles without any on-chain figure to read.
What it unlocks
| Hidden today | Hidden with Private Balance |
|---|---|
| Recipient | Recipient |
| Sender ↔ receiver link | Sender ↔ receiver link |
| Your IP ↔ address | Your IP ↔ address |
| — | Transfer amounts |
| — | Your total balance |
The result: your BlackVault balance appears simply as **••••• ** to the outside world, visible only to you.
Status
Design and integration are in active development. It will surface in the app as the Private Balance experience inside the Vault. Follow the roadmap.
