- Published
Aztec Labs relaunched zk.money on the Aztec Network after a three-year absence, returning the private payment wallet to users on Ethereum. The relaunch restores self-custody and private transaction features for the wallet.
Key claims & sources
What it means
Ethereum users who want private transfers now have a relaunch of zk.money to notice, and the wallet is presented as a way to keep funds in self-custody while making transactions on Aztec Network. That is a change in what is available today for people using this product, because the wallet is back after a three-year gap and is again tied to private payments.
What changes in practice is that a private payment wallet is again available on the network, while self-custody remains part of the setup. What does not change from these pieces is the network focus on private activity, since the relaunch is still described around private Ethereum transactions.
Market reaction i
The move was larger before the first headline than after. That is an observation, not an explanation: the market also moves on things nobody publishes.

Every piece in order, with the time its news medium declares — if it is not believable we use ours and say so — and what it added to what was already known at that point. Arriving first is not the same as adding something.
