According to TechFlow, The Block reported that the privacy protocol Nocturne has deployed its V1 version on the Ethereum mainnet, introducing the concept of on-chain private accounts to Ethereum.

According to a statement, the protocol is another account rather than a distinct tool or ecosystem. Unlike existing blockchain privacy tools, which often exist as standalone entities, Nocturne integrates privacy directly into the account layer, functioning similarly to a smart contract wallet.

The team says Nocturne is compatible with any DeFi protocol that represents state through output tokens, such as Uniswap swap tokens, Aave aTokens, and Compound cTokens. It plans to expand this compatibility to a wider range of decentralized applications over time, creating private user accounts on Layer 1 and Layer 2 that are fully compatible with existing Ethereum accounts.
