Aztec relaunches zk.money privacy wallet on its Ethereum Layer 2

The revival of a discontinued privacy product on Aztec's own L2 signals that privacy infrastructure is being rebuilt rather than abandoned, but it also underscores how much the earlier iteration struggled to find durable traction. For Ethereum users who value self-custody, the relaunch offers a familiar interface on newer architecture, though the same compliance and liquidity pressures that shaped the first attempt have not disappeared. The open question is whether Aztec can pair privacy with enough usable activity this time to avoid repeating the outcome that led to the shutdown.
