Assets held privately in Privacy Pools could become usable in Aztec lending, trading and payment apps without first returning to public transactions.
0xbow and Aztec plan to connect the pool to apps on Aztec, an Ethereum layer-2 network. Today, Privacy Pools supports private transfers, swaps and yield on Ethereum, but 0xbow says using those assets outside the pool means returning to transparent transactions.
0xbow screens which deposits qualify for the pool's approved set. Its announcement says a deposit that fails that check can still be withdrawn, but not privately; the screening provider does not hold the user's funds or keys.
Both teams say they are still exploring the implementation's design and scope.
