EY announced the launch of the 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 evm-144">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, and providing exploratory, replicable, and modifiable sample projects to accelerate proof of concept development.

Currently, the Blockchain Privacy Sandbox is mainly used for experimentation and validation, supporting businesses in assessing the feasibility of privacy smart contracts, testing functionalities, and validating application scenarios before officially integrating Starlight. EY stated that this tool lowers the technical barrier for conducting privacy experiments 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. As businesses' demand for data privacy protection on public chains increases, the attention on zero-knowledge proof technology continues to rise. Relevant reports indicate that the global ZKP market is expected to reach approximately $7.6 billion by 2033.
