Ethereum validators are unstaking ETH amid price pressure, while the Ethereum Foundation and Open Anonymity Project launched zkAPI on mainnet, enabling anonymous AI API payments using zero-knowledge proofs designed with Vitalik Buterin. Crypto traders debate whether current price levels represent a bottoming opportunity or further decline.
Ethereum traders discuss potential market movements, with analysts predicting altseason could follow a Bitcoin dominance crash. The Ethereum Foundation launches zkAPI, enabling private API payments via zero-knowledge proofs on Ethereum mainnet.
The Ethereum Foundation launched zkAPI with the Open Anonymity Project, enabling users to pay for AI API services anonymously using zero-knowledge proofs. Users deposit ETH or USDC once, then authorize API usage without revealing identity; service providers see requests but not payer identities, while payment providers see only amounts spent. The system uses cryptographic techniques to separate payments from identity and initially targets AI inference use cases involving sensitive data.
X users discuss Ethereum price movements and recent developments. The Ethereum Foundation launched zkAPI on mainnet, enabling privacy-preserving API payments using zero-knowledge proofs with prepaid ETH or USDC. Traders debate Ethereum's investment prospects and market dynamics relative to Bitcoin.
Ethereum and Bitcoin are performing well while altcoins lag. The Ethereum Foundation and Open Anonymity announced zkAPI, a zero-knowledge protocol enabling private AI inference. A CryptoPunk NFT sold for over $5M, up from $18,143 in 2020.
zkAPI enables anonymous API payments by separating identity from billing through zero-knowledge proofs. Users deposit credits into an Ethereum vault once, then authorize API usage with cryptographic proofs that reveal neither their identity nor link requests together. Built by the Open Anonymity Project with the Ethereum Foundation, it runs on Ethereum Mainnet today.
