Users can access Confidential APT through Petra Wallet and Confidential Assets Web, giving the native token a confidentiality option within those interfaces.Encrypted native-token transfers expand APT's privacy utility, with wallet access providing a way to use the capability. The bundled release also supports its appeal for institutional use where confidentiality is relevant.
