What's confidential vs. auditable?
Confidential Assets hides the underlying assets, transaction amounts, and counterparties involved onchain, ensuring trading strategies remain private. Each asset has a designated auditor who can decrypt only that asset's flows. This provides regulators and issuers with targeted transparency without exposing unrelated positions.
Does this work with custodians?
Yes. Confidential Assets works with portfolio and custody models on Polymesh. Custodians can integrate with Polymesh to manage tokenized assets just like traditional securities. They can custody keys, provide reporting, and enforce compliance, while their clients benefit from faster settlement and private trading.
Do I need onchain identity?
Yes. For asset activity, Polymesh requires a verified onchain identity. This supports compliance with AML/KYC and enables programmable rules around jurisdiction, investor type, and asset eligibility. It's part of why institutions can trust the network.
