## What Are Solana Rings

Solana Rings bring programmable privacy to Solana with native performance and security via simple APIs.

* **Confidential transfers** — private asset and amount; public sender and recipient
* **Native Solana execution** — private transactions settle in one Solana transaction
* **Self-custodial** — transfers require the owner's signature
* **Programmable** – private escrow in Solana programs
* **Custom Rings** – anonymity and compliance for enterprises
