<p>Established in the United States just last year, Nocturne has continued to construct a protocol to facilitate anonymous transactions within the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing users to establish discreet “internal” accounts within Nocturne, where the receipt and expenditure of funds will transpire in an entirely untraceable manner, ensuring that these transactions remain detached from a singular, traceable address.</p>
<p>Nocturne Labs’ first user-facing product, a private vault UI, is said to offer a streamlined interface for users to manage their hot assets stored within their private accounts, allowing them to receive and deposit funds anonymously, earn yield on idle funds, and withdraw to fresh wallets for unlinked trading and transactions.</p>
