Vitalik propose la norme de paiement ZK, favorisant les transactions privées d'Ethereum et d'agents IA

Mars Finance information, Vitalik Buterin published a research article on May 10th, advocating that encrypted payments should move from pseudonymity to default privacy, proposing to replace standard transfers with zero-knowledge proof (ZK) transactions, allowing users to prove payment validity without revealing full balances or transaction history. Vitalik specifically pointed out that in the era of agents, autonomous AI agents need to pay for services (such as LLM API fees) without leaving traceable footprints, using recursive SNARKs and ZK API points to earn points, enabling Ethereum Layer 2 to handle privacy payments at the same speed and cost as transparent transactions. The proposal also includes selective disclosure and proof of innocence mechanisms, allowing users to provide specific proofs to compliant agencies or tax authorities without disclosing data to the public, in response to anti-money laundering regulatory requirements. Vitalik believes that the transparency of blockchain is the main obstacle preventing encrypted payments from replacing traditional payments, and the ZK payment standard aims to make privacy the default feature.
