Ethereum Foundation ships zkAPI, a pay-for-AI system that hides who's paying
The Ethereum Foundation and the Open Anonymity Project put zkAPI live on Ethereum mainnet, a system that lets users pay for metered AI services using zero-knowledge proofs instead of identity-linked API keys.
Ethereum Foundation ships zkAPI, a zero-knowledge way to pay for AI without an identity attached
The Ethereum Foundation and the Open Anonymity Project launched zkAPI, a system using zero-knowledge proofs to let users pay for metered APIs without linking the payment to their identity or prompts.
Aztec relaunches its zk.money privacy wallet — in alpha, capped at $2,500, and before a known critical bug is fixed
Aztec Labs has relaunched its zk.money privacy wallet on its Ethereum Layer 2, but shipped it in alpha with $2,500 transaction caps, sanctions screening, publicly traceable deposits and a known critical proving bug still unfixed.
Peirce, on her way out of the SEC, calls for scrapping the KYC "panopticon"
Departing SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce told a SIFMA conference that zero-knowledge proofs should replace bulk KYC data collection, which she called a hackable "panopticon" that endangers the people it aims to protect.
World open-sources ProveKit, its zero-knowledge ID toolkit, as biometric project faces regulators
World, the Sam Altman-co-founded identity project formerly called Worldcoin, released its ProveKit zero-knowledge proving toolkit as open source, letting developers build apps that verify age or nationality without exposing the underlying ID data.
Ethereum Foundation opens an AI-agent bounty on the unproven math under zk proofs
The Ethereum Foundation launched better.codes, a public leaderboard where AI agents compete to raise the machine-checked soundness bound of a Reed–Solomon proximity problem toward 128 bits.
