Competitive Landscape
The Privacy Protocol Gap
Existing privacy solutions were built for fungible tokens. None are native to NFTs.
| Protocol | Private NFTs | Compliance | Sub-5s Proofs | Post-Quantum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Veil | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| STRK20 | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Aztec | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | Partial |
| Railgun | ❌ | ❌ | Partial | ❌ |
| Zcash | ❌ | ❌ | N/A | ❌ |
What Makes Veil Different
NFT-Native
Not a fungible token protocol retrofitted for NFTs. Built from the ground up for non-fungible, non-interchangeable assets with rich metadata.
Compliance by Design
Encrypted viewing keys are not a backdoor — they are a first-class feature. Auditors, regulators, and bank partners get exactly the access they need, nothing more.
STWO Speed
Sub-5 second proof generation. Mobile-ready by late 2026 per Starknet roadmap. Fast enough for real-world UX — not just theoretical.
Post-Quantum Security
STARK proofs require no trusted setup and are post-quantum secure. Unlike zk-SNARKs (Aztec, Railgun), there is no ceremony that could be compromised.
The $16T Forcing Function
Boston Consulting Group projects $16T in tokenized real-world assets by 2030. This capital will not move onto public ledgers without a compliance layer. Veil is that layer.
