# Welcome

*(Documentation is incomplete, and currently being updated.)*

In this guide we'll walkthrough how to use the confidential token functionality of ***zkNEO***.

Confidential token is an extension from the Solana Token-2022 token program, utilizing Zero-Knowledge Proofs to enable private token balances and transfer amounts, while transaction counterparties remain public.

This implementation strikes a balance between privacy and transparency, and ensures compliance with regulations. Confidential transfers are not anonymous, and ***zkNEO*** should not be considered a 'privacy coin' in the same way Monero or its peers are.

The information presented here is intended to be easy to understand and is focused on individual user requirements. For more advanced or complex use cases, Solana's own technical documentation is recommended.<br>
