Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Aztec co-founder Zac Williamson said the Ethereum layer-2’s Tiera V6 upgrade lets users prove their funds do not overlap with deposits flagged as linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group without revealing transaction history, using serial numbers on the protocol’s private “note” units. The disclosure, made in an Unchained interview published at 6 a.m. KST on the 15th, positions the mechanism as a privacy-pool-style compliance tool rather than a full transaction reveal. It matters because privacy systems are often pressured to expose data to satisfy sanctions and exchange screening, and Aztec is arguing selective disclosure can meet that demand. What to watch next is whether exchanges and compliance providers accept note-level proofs as sufficient screening, and how Tiera V6 adoption develops on Ethereum.
