Developers working on Ethereum-based blockchain solutions introduced a tool that allows employees to anonymously publish corporate messages while verifying their affiliation with a company, without revealing their identity.
Aztec Labs, a developer of Layer 2 protocols on Ethereum, announced the launch of StealthNote, a blockchain platform designed for employees who want to anonymously report on company activities.
The solution enables users to post messages while proving their association with an organization, without disclosing any personal information. StealthNote leverages Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) and Noir, a programming language developed by Aztec. It verifies JWT tokens issued by Google Workspace to confirm company affiliation, without revealing an email address or other personal identifiers.
StealthNote aims to ensure privacy and security in corporate communications, offering an innovative approach to anonymous information sharing. The initiative gained support from employees of the Ethereum Foundation, StarkWare, Scroll, as well as Columbia and Cornell universities, many of whom published anonymous messages via the platform.
Privacy-focused solutions like this are gaining momentum as concerns over data security and government surveillance continue to grow. For example, many EU residents are wary that the proposed digital euro could lead to state control over personal finances.
