Starknet rolled out a new Shadow Accounts feature that lets users interact with DeFi apps without linking activity to their main wallets. The tool creates persistent, app‑specific addresses funded from shielded balances in the STRK20 privacy pool, keeping the link between the funding wallet and the shadow account hidden while keeping on‑chain data public.
The privacy upgrade could draw more capital into Starknet’s ecosystem and lift sentiment for Ethereum layer‑2 solutions. Investors may see a modest boost to ETH‑related assets as developers integrate the feature into lending, trading and NFT platforms, though the immediate price impact is likely limited.
