PANews reported on April 16 that according to The Block, the Aztec development team launched an anonymous messaging platform called StealthNote, which uses zero-knowledge proof technology (ZKPs) to allow users to publish messages anonymously and prove that they belong to a specific organization while protecting their privacy. The platform aims to provide whistleblowers with a safe and anonymous sharing channel, especially suitable for exposing insider information of suspicious companies. Developer Saleel Pichen gave an example on the social platform: "If you have suspicious inside information about a company but don't want to reveal your identity, StealthNote allows you to share information completely anonymously." Its technical principle is to parse the JWT token generated by Google login, without revealing personal identity, and only verify whether the user has access to a certain corporate mailbox.
Currently, the platform only supports Gmail accounts, but the team plans to expand to single sign-on systems such as Microsoft in the future, and add Slack bridging and other functions. Pichen also revealed that more anonymous identity authentication methods will be supported in the future, such as proving that you are the recipient of an email, from a specific country or region, etc., to further broaden the application scenarios of anonymous data sharing.
