The cryptocurrency startup works to bring private accounts to the Ethereum network.

Nocturne Labs, a cryptocurrency startup in the United States, recently secured 6 million dollars in seed funding from a consortium of influential investors, including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, by Bain Capital Crypto, Polychain Capital, Bankless Ventures, Hack VC, and Robot Ventures. 

The firm is working to bring private accounts to the Ethereum ecosystem and has promised to revolutionize the Ethereum network's privacy features, the Block quoted CEO Luke Tchang as saying. 

The successful funding round is a significant milestone in the world of cryptocurrencies, particularly given the prevailing challenges of a crypto funding slump, but the precise valuation of Nocturne Labs remains undisclosed.

Founded last year, Nocturne Labs has been developing a protocol designed to enable users to transact anonymously within the Ethereum ecosystem. The primary goal of this ambitious endeavor is to establish “internal” accounts within the Nocturne platform.

These accounts will allow users to receive and spend funds without these transactions being traceable back to a single address, according to Tchang’s concept.

The groundbreaking aspect of Nocturne Labs' approach is its utilization of zero-knowledge proof technologies. Users can prove ownership of funds within their Nocturne accounts without revealing any personal or transactional details.

The Ethereum network has long been praised for its robust smart contract capabilities and decentralized applications. However, the issue of transactional privacy has remained a challenge and Nocturne Labs' user privacy protocol explains the flock of investors for this project.

The startup did not reveal any business plans in this context. Its website provides no project details or contact information.
