Vitalik Buterin's zkAPI Goes Live on Ethereum Mainnet
- —zkAPI launched on Ethereum mainnet on Oct. 1, 2026
- —Escape withdrawal challenge period is 86,400 seconds (24 hours)
- —Active notes expire after 30 days, after which deposits can be claimed by the treasury
- —Groth16 setup was single-party; no multi-party ceremony was conducted
Why it matters: The project tests private payments for AI agents on Ethereum, but its experimental status and deposit-loss risk warrant caution.
