Ethereum Foundation-backed zkAPI Separates AI Payments From Identity, Not Prompts
- —Payments use prepaid ETH balances and private notes with zero-knowledge proofs
- —The service verifies access eligibility without revealing which deposit funded it
- —Prompts and the user's IP address remain visible and are not hidden
- —The code is labeled experimental, with provider and oracle mocked in tests
Why it matters: The scheme weakens the link between AI payments and accounts, but it is not anonymity, limiting its use for sensitive work.
