Aztec Labs Relaunches zk.money Privacy Wallet on Ethereum Layer 2

Zero‑Knowledge Privacy at the Core

Three years after its discontinuation, Aztec Labs has relaunched zk.money, a self‑custodial wallet that lets users send and receive Ethereum and token payments privately. The updated wallet now operates on Aztec Network, the company's privacy‑focused Layer‑2 roll‑up, and is available for desktop browsers and Android.

The relaunch follows a pause that left many users without a dedicated privacy solution on Ethereum. By moving to Aztec Network, the wallet can leverage zero‑knowledge roll‑ups to keep balances, amounts and counterparties off the public chain. Users still control their private keys, so the wallet remains self‑custodial while offering stronger privacy than standard Ethereum wallets.

zk.money uses zero‑knowledge proofs to hide transaction details. When a user sends a token, the proof confirms the transfer without revealing the amount or the recipient. The wallet’s interface shows only the user’s own balance, keeping all other data private. This approach protects users from public scrutiny while maintaining full control over their funds.

Beyond Payments: Staking, Yield and ERC1155

The new wallet adds privacy‑preserving staking and yield‑farming options. Users can lock their tokens and earn rewards without exposing staking amounts or positions. It also supports ERC1155 tokens, allowing private transfers of multi‑token assets. These features extend privacy beyond simple payments into the broader DeFi ecosystem.

The relaunch signals Aztec Labs’ commitment to mainstream privacy on Ethereum. By offering a user‑friendly, open‑source wallet, the company hopes to attract both developers and everyday users who value confidentiality. If adoption grows, zk.money could become a standard tool for private transactions on the Ethereum network.
