TRX Ethereum Foundation introduces zkAPI for private API usage credits
The Ethereum Foundation Blog announced zkAPI, a system that lets users pay for metered APIs without revealing their identity. It uses an Ethereum vault deposit and zero-knowledge proofs to authorize bounded usage, keeping the provider and payment layer from learning the link between them.
