đđ Ethereum Launches zkAPI for Private AI Payments đ„ Ethereum Foundation has launched zkAPI on Ethereum Mainnet, enabling users to pay for AI and API services without directly revealing their identity to service providers. đ How it works: âïž Deposit ETH or USDC into an Ethereum vault âïž Use zero-knowledge proofs to verify payment eligibility without revealing identity or balance âïž Receive a temporary API key with a spending limit âïž AI providers process requests without knowing who made the payment đ€ Beyond AI: zkAPI can also support blockchain RPCs, image/video generation, VPNs, bandwidth services, and payments between AI agents. đŽ zkAPI does not provide complete anonymity. IP addresses and prompt content may still reveal or link a user's identity. đ Why it matters: Ethereum is moving toward becoming a payment and coordination layer for the AI economy, enabling AI agents to access services and make payments without traditional accounts. đ zkAPI is now live on Ethereum Mainnet.
