gm Ethereum ☀️

It is our great honor to announce the mainnet launch of Privacy Pools!

ETH users can now achieve on-chain privacy, while still dissociating from illicit funds

It is now up to all of us to Make Privacy Normal Again 🫡

More info in this thread 👇

ETH holders, head to and deposit up to 1 ETH

If your funds pass our wallet screening, they can be withdrawn privately 🥷

If we don’t approve your funds, you can still withdraw back to your original wallet, making Privacy Pools a non-custodial system 🔐 privacypools.com

During our initial launch, we’re limiting deposits to 1 ETH (0.1 ETH min)🙅‍♂️

We will raise these limits as we battle test our tech 📈

One nice UX factor is that you can do partial withdrawals, and the rest of the ETH is redeposited into the privacy pool for future use.

Another nice UX factor is that you no longer need to save a note per tx 📝

You can access all your Privacy Pools accounts with a single (privacy) seed phrase.

Like your seedphrase, you must keep this secure, or hackers can exploit it 🔒

If you want a detailed walkthrough of how Privacy Pools works, we got you covered 🤝

Still feeling unsure? Feel free to post your questions, and we’ll help you out! ✅

Note: pay attention when creating an account!

It’s been a long journey, and we’re so happy and grateful to see it come to life.

Privacy Pools has been a team effort and some thank you’s are in order 🫂

The entire team at @defi_wonderland, who’ve helped make the product a reality, couldn’t have done it without you 🌟

We’d also like to mention our investors for their trust and support @numbergroupxyz, @vitalik, @banklessvc, @publicworksfm, and several angels 👑

The vision for Privacy Pools and the future of compliant on-chain privacy was created by the gigabrains @vitalik, @fschaer, @ameensol, Jacob Illum (@chainalysis), and @mat_nadler.

This would not have been possible without your contributions 🧠

A heartfelt thank you ❤️

Need a quick refresh on what we’re building, why it’s important, and where we’re going in the future?

0xbow is looking to strengthen our team; join us!

One last shoutout to our wonderful auditors.
