Vitalik Buterin unveils open-source privacy system for AI agents using Tor and anonymous Ethereum payments
Vitalik Buterin outlined a privacy mode for AI agents that routes traffic through separate Tor circuits and rewrites prompts locally, noting that new chats may be slow. He introduced a zkAPI combined with Tor to enable private Ethereum payments for AI agents using zero‑knowledge proof balances. The open‑source system aims to limit user‑data exposure when accessing large language models by processing prompts locally and handling payments anonymously. Despite the privacy enhancements, conversations still experience significant delays.
