pERC-20 vs STRK20: Privacy Returns to Ethereum's Core | Jun 11

Two new token standards — pERC-20 and Starknet's STRK20 — are pushing privacy back into Ethereum's core infrastructure, not as an add-on but as a foundational standard. Plus: ETH consolidates in a tight $1,634–$1,688 range after a 30% drawdown, and the real bottleneck is UX, not cryptography.

Two competing token standards landed in Ethereum's development orbit this week, and together they signal something the ecosystem hasn't seen in years: privacy being treated as core infrastructure, not a liability. The proposals are pERC-20 and Starknet's STRK20.
That earlier conversation was shaped by Tornado Cash. The regulatory enforcement against it pushed privacy tooling to the margins for most of the past few years.
Here's something worth holding onto. StarkWare's co-founder has stated publicly that the cryptography is solved.
On price, ETH has spent three consecutive days in a tight range between one thousand six hundred thirty-four and one thousand six hundred eighty-eight dollars. Daily moves have been minimal.
The two metrics worth tracking from here are straightforward. First, whether pERC-20 progresses through the Ethereum Improvement Proposal review process and how the community responds to its compliance design.
