TREE NEWS update: Aztec has relaunched its private payments wallet zk.money, capping every transfer below $2,500 and hiding balances and recipients for stablecoin payments. The wallet went live before a fix for a critical proving-system flaw Aztec disclosed in August.
Aztec Relaunches zk.money Private Payments Wallet With $2,500 Transfer Cap
The notable tension here is sequencing: the wallet returned to market before the proving-system flaw disclosed in August was fixed, which puts privacy guarantees and undisclosed technical risk in the same product. The sub-$2,500 cap reads less as a user feature than as a deliberate containment choice, limiting exposure while the underlying cryptography remains under scrutiny. The open question is whether the cap reflects a temporary launch constraint or a longer-term posture, and whether Aztec publishes a fix timeline that would justify relaxing it.
