On October 1, 2026, the Ethereum Foundation deployed zkAPI on its mainnet, enabling anonymous payments for AI services via ETH or USDC deposits verified by zero-knowledge proofs. This protocol disconnects payment identity from AI service requests, enhancing privacy by preventing user profiling tied to payment credentials. While zkAPI secures payment anonymity, it does not hide network data like IP addresses or the content of AI prompts, which may still reveal user identity. Developed with the Open Anonymity Project and based on a design co-authored by Vitalik Buterin, zkAPI represents a significant step toward privacy-focused AI payments but remains experimental and under development.
