## Overview

Shielded TRC-20 was specified back in 2020, using zk-SNARKs to hide addresses and amounts, and it never left the Nile testnet in any meaningful form. Tron moves enormous stablecoin volume across a fully transparent ledger, and its own quarterly reporting no longer covers the shielded standard at all.
