Public ledgers expose every Solana wallet's balances and transaction history, which has kept payments and payroll off-chain. Helius has now released Solana Privacy Rings on mainnet, programmable shielded pools that execute natively on Solana.

The default permissionless Ring encrypts assets and amounts while wallet addresses stay visible, and only the owner can decrypt balances with a viewing key. It supports SOL, SPL and Token-2022 tokens, with succinct ZK proofs verifying private transactions in milliseconds. Developers integrate via TypeScript and Rust SDKs and dedicated privacy RPC methods.

Decrypt, Ore and Aurora Intents are already live on the Ring, while Backpack, DFlow, Jupiter, Squads and Titan are working on integrations.

Range, Chainalysis and Elliptic support compliance screening. Custom Rings for institutions, with auditor keys, allowlists and freezes, are under audit and targeted for a Q4 2026 mainnet release.
