The Ethereum Foundation has launched zkAPI on the Ethereum mainnet, according to The Block. The system is based on a design co-authored by Vitalik Buterin and is built to let users pay for artificial intelligence services and other APIs with pre-deposited ETH or USDC. The payment flow uses zero-knowledge proofs, allowing users to fund requests without exposing a direct link between the payer and the specific API call.\n\nThe report says service providers using zkAPI cannot associate a given request with the person who made the payment. That separates payment information from usage data at the service layer. The rollout places the mechanism directly on Ethereum mainnet and frames it as an onchain payment option for API access.\n\nNo additional launch details, usage figures, or rollout timeline beyond the mainnet deployment were disclosed in the source material.
