DeFi’s first private liquid staking for Bitcoin is live on Starknet

hey all, sharing Starknet's recent news here:

Endur has launched private liquid staking for shielded strkBTC and STRK on Starknet.

Until now, earning yield on a shielded asset meant giving up the privacy to do it. Funds had to leave the privacy pool, pass through a public wallet and enter the protocol in the open.

This integration removes that step.

Your shielded STRK or strkBTC sits in STRK20’s privacy pool as an encrypted note. When you stake through Endur, the pool spends that note, Endur stakes the underlying, and the liquid staking token is returned to the pool as a fresh encrypted note in your name.

Nothing touches your public wallet.

The note holds a fixed amount of the LST while the exchange rate increases, so the position compounds while remaining unlinked to your address.

Endur handles the staking side by delegating the underlying to Starknet validators, minting the LST and collecting rewards in the vault. For strkBTC, rewards arrive in STRK and are converted back before being reflected in the position.

It is live now through privacy-compatible wallets including Xverse and Ready.
