Starknet, the Ethereum layer-2 network developed by StarkWare, has introduced Shadow Accounts, a privacy mechanism designed to let decentralized finance users interact with applications without publicly tying those activities to their primary cryptocurrency wallets. The development expands StarkWare's privacy-focused offerings, which include OffMarket, a non-custodial service that lets users trade on Polymarket while separating positions from established accounts. OffMarket routes orders directly to Polymarket at standard market prices and currently permits one USDC deposit of up to $1,000. It reduces direct wallet associations but does not provide complete anonymity because public Polygon records and other transaction patterns can still reveal information about traders.
