Starknet launches Shadow Accounts, supporting anonymous linkage between users’ primary wallets and DeFi activities
BlockBeats reports that October 14, according to an official announcement,Starknet announced the launch of Shadow Accounts, allowing users to participate in public DeFi activities through a separate, self-controlled address while keeping the link between that address and their primary wallet confidential. A Shadow Account is an independent pseudonymous address on Starknet whose funds come from the user’s protected STRK20 balance. The first integration will go live tomorrow.
The Shadow Account’s balance, transaction history, and holdings in various applications will remain publicly visible on-chain, but STRK20 can protect information linking the Shadow Account to the user’s primary wallet. This means users do not need to hide the DeFi activity itself while reducing the likelihood that external observers can trace related activity back to their primary wallet.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Users can use a separate address to participate in public DeFi activities. Others can still see the address’s balance, transactions, and holdings, but it is more difficult to determine directly from public on-chain information which primary wallet it corresponds to.
Why it matters to readers
This feature primarily improves the privacy of the link between the primary wallet and DeFi activities, but it does not hide the Shadow Account’s on-chain activity itself.
New users need to distinguish between things: transaction details remain public, while the link between the primary wallet and the Shadow Account is protected.
