Helius Launches Solana Privacy Rings With Three Live Integrations

Helius launched its permissionless Solana Privacy Rings system on Solana mainnet Tuesday, Nov. 10, allowing apps to conceal token balances and transfer amounts while keeping wallet addresses visible.

The default ring encrypts assets and transaction amounts; sender and recipient addresses remain public. Users can decrypt their own balances with a viewing key. The system runs directly on Solana and supports Solana (SOL), SPL tokens and Token-2022 assets.

Three integrations were live at launch. Decrypt’s money account supports confidential transfers, Ore offers the feature through its mining and staking app, and Aurora Intents routes assets across chains into confidential balances.

Privacy Rings is in beta, so it does not provide full anonymity: wallet addresses remain visible. Its core programs and zero-knowledge circuits have been audited by Certora, ZK Security and OtterSec. Helius expects formal verification to finish by the end of 2026. Custom Rings, designed for configurable privacy and compliance controls, remain under audit.
