PANews reported on April 16 that according to The Block, the Aztec development team has launched an anonymous messaging platform called StealthNote, which uses zero-knowledge proof (ZKPs) technology to allow users to anonymously post messages while proving their membership in a specific organization while protecting their privacy. The platform aims to provide a secure anonymous sharing channel for whistleblowers, especially for exposing insider information about suspicious companies. Developer Saleel Pichen explained on a social platform: "If you have suspicious insider 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, verifying user access to a corporate email without revealing personal identity.
Currently, the platform only supports Gmail accounts, but the team plans to expand to single sign-on systems like Microsoft in the future and add features such as Slack bridging. Pichen also revealed that they will support more anonymous authentication methods in the future, such as proving oneself as a recipient of an email, being from a specific country or region, and further expanding the application scenarios of anonymous data sharing.
