Noctura has launched a new privacy protocol on Solana designed to deliver confidential transactions without sacrificing regulatory compliance.

The project introduces a shielded privacy layer that operates as an overlay on Solana rather than requiring users to migrate to a new blockchain.

Noctura combines on-chain verification with off-chain proof generation to enable private transfers while retaining Solana’s composability.

The platform features a dual-mode wallet offering both transparent transactions and shielded transfers using zero-knowledge proofs.

Users can switch between transparent and private modes through cross-mode transfers intended to prevent transaction linkability.

Noctura said its design prioritises institutional usability by supporting selective disclosure through view keys and audit tokens.

The protocol allows users to prove specific facts, such as proof of funds, without revealing full transaction histories.

Performance targets include hundreds of shielded transactions per second at launch, with scalability planned through batching and aggregation.

Noctura outlined a staged security and audit process covering smart contracts, wallet infrastructure and zero-knowledge circuits.

The project’s native token, NOC, will be used for transaction fees, staking, governance and incentivising network participants.

Noctura said the total supply of NOC is fixed at 256 million tokens with allocations for staking, liquidity, community rewards and reserves.

The team announced that the NOC presale is scheduled to begin on January 20, with participation details to be released via official channels.

At the time of reporting, Solana price was $139.61.
