## Docs

- [APIs & webhooks](https://ryle.sh/docs/build/apis.md): Ryle APIs and webhooks — integrate confidential issuance, payments, accounts, and disclosure into your own systems. Documentation coming soon.
- [Console](https://ryle.sh/docs/build/console.md): Ryle Console — the operator dashboard for managing confidential assets, accounts, policies, and disclosures. Documentation coming soon.
- [White-label wallet](https://ryle.sh/docs/build/white-label-wallet.md): Ryle white-label wallet — embed confidential asset custody and transfers in your own app, under your own brand. Documentation coming soon.
- [Confidential digital assets vs privacy coins](https://ryle.sh/docs/comparisons/confidential-assets-vs-privacy-coins.md): Privacy coins aim for blanket anonymity; confidential digital assets are private by default but disclosable by policy. Why the difference matters for regulated businesses, compared side by side.
- [Confidential digital assets vs private / permissioned chains](https://ryle.sh/docs/comparisons/confidential-assets-vs-private-chains.md): Private and permissioned chains hide data by walling off the network, sacrificing public-chain liquidity and reach. Confidential digital assets keep public-chain settlement while encrypting activity. A comparison.
- [Ways to build a confidential token, compared](https://ryle.sh/docs/comparisons/confidential-token-approaches.md): Confidential tokens can be built three ways: DIY confidential contracts, permissioned token standards like ERC-3643, or managed confidential-asset infrastructure. The trade-offs of each approach.
- [Confidentiality and data protection (GDPR) onchain](https://ryle.sh/docs/compliance/data-protection.md): Public blockchains conflict with data-protection law by publishing personal financial data permanently. Confidential digital assets keep that data encrypted by default, aligning onchain settlement with GDPR-style principles.
- [Are confidential digital assets compliant?](https://ryle.sh/docs/compliance/overview.md): Confidential digital assets are compliant when privacy is paired with selective disclosure: private by default, disclosable to regulators and auditors by policy, and auditable always. How Ryle supports compliance teams.
- [Proof of reserves for confidential assets](https://ryle.sh/docs/compliance/proof-of-reserves.md): Proof of reserves lets an issuer prove that a confidential asset's supply is fully backed — to an auditor or regulator — without exposing individual holder balances. How reconciliation works in Ryle.
- [Confidential assets and regulatory frameworks (MiCA, Travel Rule, AML)](https://ryle.sh/docs/compliance/regulatory-frameworks.md): How confidential digital assets fit MiCA, the FATF Travel Rule, AML/KYC, and sanctions screening — privacy by default with selective disclosure for supervisors. A framework-by-framework overview.
- [Confidential accounts explained](https://ryle.sh/docs/concepts/confidential-accounts.md): A confidential account is the identity that holds and transacts a confidential digital asset, with encrypted balances and policy-based permissions. Ryle models accounts as policy records, not public balances.
- [Confidential assets vs traditional tokens](https://ryle.sh/docs/concepts/confidential-vs-traditional-tokens.md): Traditional tokens publish every balance and transfer; confidential assets encrypt them while staying verifiable and adding compliance hooks like selective disclosure. A side-by-side comparison.
- [How do confidential assets work?](https://ryle.sh/docs/concepts/how-confidential-assets-work.md): Confidential assets keep balances and amounts encrypted onchain while using zero-knowledge proofs to prove every transaction is valid. Ryle manages the cryptography so issuers work with assets, accounts, and policies.
- [What is selective disclosure?](https://ryle.sh/docs/concepts/selective-disclosure.md): Selective disclosure lets the issuer of a confidential asset reveal specific transactions or balances to a chosen party — an auditor, regulator, or counterparty — without making that data public.
- [Ryle documentation](https://ryle.sh/docs/index.md): Ryle is confidential digital asset infrastructure — learn what confidential assets are, explore use cases, and understand how to issue and operate private onchain assets.
- [Partner brief](https://ryle.sh/docs/partner-integration/partner-brief.md): A short overview for partners evaluating an integration. Kept intentionally high level.
- [Platform overview](https://ryle.sh/docs/partner-integration/platform-overview.md): High-level overview for product, ops, and engineering teams evaluating a Ryle integration.
- [Technical brief](https://ryle.sh/docs/partner-integration/technical-brief.md): An engineering-oriented overview for teams scoping a Ryle integration.
- [Why do enterprises need privacy onchain?](https://ryle.sh/docs/problems/enterprise-privacy-onchain.md): Banks, stablecoin issuers, marketplaces, tokenization platforms, and corporates cannot expose balances, counterparties, and flows on public chains. Confidential digital assets give them privacy with auditability.
- [Why do public blockchains expose business activity?](https://ryle.sh/docs/problems/public-blockchain-exposure.md): Public blockchains publish every balance and transfer in plaintext, exposing treasury movements, counterparties, and competitive intelligence. Confidential digital assets close this gap.
- [What is the privacy problem of stablecoins?](https://ryle.sh/docs/problems/stablecoin-privacy.md): Stablecoins on public chains expose payroll, vendor payments, and account balances to anyone. Confidential stablecoins keep individual activity private while proving reserves to auditors.
- [What is the privacy problem of tokenized assets?](https://ryle.sh/docs/problems/tokenized-asset-privacy.md): Tokenized assets on public chains expose cap tables, holder lists, and redemption flows. Confidential tokenization keeps investor positions private while keeping supply and reserves auditable.

- [Compliance & disclosure](https://ryle.sh/docs/products/compliance-and-disclosure.md): Selective disclosure, audit logs, proof of reserves, and policy controls with Ryle — confidential by default, visible by policy, auditable always. Documentation coming soon.
