Nocturne, a protocol that enables on-chain private accounts, has successfully deployed version one to the Ethereum mainnet. This milestone represents a significant step towards a more private and accessible Ethereum.
Nocturne version one introduces a compatible and user-friendly product that resembles a private on-chain account. Unlike traditional privacy tools, Nocturne functions seamlessly as another account, making on-chain privacy more accessible to users.
Nocturne version one is currently compatible with any DeFi protocol that represents state via output tokens. This includes popular protocols like Uniswap, Aave, and Compound. The compatibility will later be extended to arbitrary protocols, ensuring a wider range of options for users.
Luke Tchang, CEO and co-founder of Nocturne, emphasizes the importance of privacy at the account layer. By embedding privacy into the account itself, Nocturne aims to enable secure and private transactions for individuals and institutions alike. This commitment reflects Nocturne's dedication to making Ethereum more accessible and facilitating secure financial transactions over the internet.
Privacy concerns have hindered the broader acceptance and use of cryptocurrencies as money. Nocturne recognizes this barrier and addresses it head-on. By prioritizing privacy as a foundational element, Nocturne aims to drive the broader adoption of crypto and contribute to Ethereum's growth.
Nocturne's long-term vision is to seamlessly integrate private accounts into the Ethereum user experience. The goal is to create a parallel account layer for privacy, where every Ethereum user automatically has a private account that mirrors their public account.
To achieve this vision, Nocturne plans to:
Nocturne version one is live and can be accessed through a dedicated private vault UI. The current UI capabilities include deposits, transfers to new burner addresses, private swaps, and staking. To get started, visit the Nocturne website.
