Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for improving the privacy of transfers in a distributed ledger.

Aspects may also include transmitting the encrypted transaction to a blockchain, the encrypted transaction including at least an encrypted amount, a zero-knowledge proof, and an encrypted balance of the first user. Aspects may also include verifying a correctness of the zero-knowledge proof. Aspects may also include, based on the correctness, executing the transaction through a smart contract of the blockchain and homomorphically updating encrypted balances of the first user and the second user in accordance with the encrypted amount.
