Confidential Transfers on Sui Let Compliance In While Keeping Balances Private

The partnership with Mysten Labs is designed to bake the compliance architecture into Sui from the ground up. Delp, who holds a PhD from the University of Edinburgh, called it a fundamental change in how the firm thinks about on-chain assets. The new model assumes privacy as the default state, he said.

Merkle Science already serves privacy-focused protocols. It has formed partnerships with Aleo, Finoa, and Stablecoin Standard as part of its broader compliance capabilities. The confidential transfers initiative extends that philosophy to the infrastructure layer.

Delp said the company is working with regulators and industry bodies to align the design with existing rules. No timeline was given for a public launch on Sui, though the technical integration is complete.
