EY has launched the EY Blockchain Privacy Sandbox, aimed at providing businesses and developers with a web-based development environment to experiment with privacy-preserving smart contracts. The sandbox utilizes the open-source technology Starlight, allowing smart contracts to be transformed into privacy-protected applications while maintaining contract logic. It also offers sample projects to accelerate development, lower technical barriers, and support feasibility assessments and functionality testing.

Odaily Planet Daily News: One of the “Big Four” accounting firms, Ernst & Young, announced the launch of the EY Blockchain Privacy Sandbox, a web-based development environment designed to help businesses and developers experiment with privacy-preserving smart contracts on public chains compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It is reported that this sandbox environment is based on the open-source technology Starlight, allowing developers to convert standard Solidity smart contracts into applications with privacy protection features while retaining the original contract logic. It also provides explorative, replicable, and modifiable sample projects to accelerate proof-of-concept development.

Currently, the EY Blockchain Privacy Sandbox is primarily used for experimentation and validation, supporting businesses in assessing the feasibility of privacy smart contracts, testing functionalities, and validating application scenarios. This tool lowers the technical barriers for privacy experimentation on public chains by providing an easy-to-use web environment. Starlight, as the underlying ZKP compiler, has been open-sourced, allowing developers to integrate privacy features through its GitHub repository. (PRNewswire)
